Crime runs deep in the heart of LA. Colt Johnson is a skilled detective in determined pursuit of the biggest crime syndicate in Los Angeles, California. With the help of the TAP team, he’s hunting La Ciudad. As TAP gets closer to putting an end to the syndicate, organized crime becomes organized chaos, landing Colt in the hot seat. As the prime suspect, Colt transforms into Enzo to avoid corrupt cops and continue to take down La Ciudad as the covert organization R-7’s newest member. While La Ciudad is working to steal technology that will bring their operation to new levels, Enzo discovers the truth behind a new mission that could change everything he knows about history and himself. Now, Enzo must come to terms with the truth behind some of history’s biggest cover-ups, deception, and himself to take on the real mission—one that makes everything with La Ciudad pale in comparison.

In this shocking memoir, a former FBI informant reveals what he learned from successfully infiltrating the Ku Klux Klan in the backwoods of the Sunshine State, uncovering details about the hate group’s structure and its modern far-right spinoffs which are operating to achieve the same goal: inciting a second civil war by whatever violent means necessary. “We need you back.” It was a call FBI informant and former Army sniper Joe Moore never expected to get. He’d already infiltrated the Ku Klux Klan once before, and his contributions prevented an assassination attempt targeting then-presidential candidate Barack Obama. Moore nearly lost his life in the process. But now, the FBI needed Moore’s help once again. In White Robes and Broken Badges, Moore reveals the astounding true story of how he became one of the most entrenched and valuable undercover agents in the FBI’s history. Gripping, told with astonishing detail, this heart pounding and darkly propulsive memoir vividly recounts how he infiltrated the “Invisible Empire” at the highest levels—not once, but twice—becoming a Grand Knighthawk, overseeing security, defense, and internal communications for the domestic terrorist group across Florida and Georgia. Moore makes clear how the seeds of violence and hate spawned the tragedy in Charlottesville, the failed January 6 Capitol coup, and the growing threat posed by extremist militias—including the Oath Keepers, Proud Boys, Three Percenters, and others. Going undercover, Moore discovered the shocking connections between the KKK and law enforcement across Florida—police officers, prison guards, and sheriff’s deputies who all belonged to the Klan—and eventually exposed the terrifying presence of right-wing extremists throughout law enforcement today. Moore reflects on the steep personal costs of immersing himself in the Klan’s racist ideology and twisted rituals—and its effect on himself and his family—while secretly providing the FBI with invaluable information on the Klan’s inner workings, murderous plots, and plans for civil war. With a foreword by Congressman Jamie Raskin and illustrated with 8-pages of color photos, White Robes and Broken Badges is a comprehensive and unprecedented look at a growing threat in America and an urgent call-to-action—because ultimately, the answers to healing the divides in this country lie in its perilous history.

From the eyes and ears of a former police dispatcher is a collection of stories that are so shocking, it is hard to believe that they could be true. But they must be true. Because there is no way that incidents such as those described could possibly be made up by anyones imagination. Anita Gunn exposes the corruption, the dirty tricks, and the just plain nastiness of those who abuse the power entrusted to them. But somehow, she manages to maintain her courage while she is fighting against the Broken Badge.

The Broken Badge is a collection of my poetry about grief. Although my writing is greatly influenced by my own experience as a police widow, everyone interprets these poems according to their unique life experiences. It is my hope that as you read my poems, that those with grieving hearts will realize that they are not alone on their journey, that others have felt all of the bewildering and sometimes out of control emotions too, and realize, eventually, we do smile and find laughter once again. I have tried to arrange my poems in an order to help guide one’s grief along, acknowledging the losses, anger, and fear that we feel, while also attempting to show that there still is joy out in the world.....it just may take a while to find it....or in my case, longer than some. But today, the sound of laughter once again fills my ears....and it is my own!
