Tough Streets, Rough Skies, and Sunday Sidelines
While reading Tough Streets, Rough Skies, and Sunday Sidelines readers may need to be reminded that it is a true story. From Larry Wansley’s days as a young police detective, dodging bullets while attempting to calm the Compton (California) race riots, to his leadership of a staff that identified the 9/11 hijackers, this globally respected security figure has written an action-packed recollection of his foot-to-the-pedal career. Written with two-time Edgar Award winner Carlton Stowers, Wansley’s autobiography runs the emotional gamut from terrifying to heartbreaking to laugh-out-loud funny, with the dangerous and high-drama situations that are often only found in fiction.
