A riveting Law Enforcement memoir.

To begin, the author gave me an advanced copy. I was asked to write an honest review.
This is my honest review for NOTHING LEFT TO PROVE:

NOTHING LEFT TO PROVE is one of the best, and favorite, law enforcement memoirs that I have read and subsequently listen to. Since the 1960's, my reading of more than one hundred memoirs inspired me to join the police profession in Los Angeles County. Now, as a retired officer with more than thirty years of personal experience, they continue to interest me.

NOTHING LEFT TO PROVE resonates with reality, unlike many others. Too many authors who write these types of memoirs embellish their careers and epitomize themselves as "SUPER STARS" at the expense of their co-workers. This was not the case with NOTHING LEFT TO PROVE.

I read and listened this book with a consuming interest; so much, that I did not want to put it down. NOTHING LEFT TO PROVE elicits an abundance of emotions resulting from crime, suspects, and victims that weigh heavily on the mind, heart, and soul.

I was asked to listen to the audio for Door To A Dark Room and to give a honest review. I already read the book, twice because it was so good. I usually do not listen to audio books, unless on a long drive, or involved in a project, i.e. painting, cleaning, etc.
Listening to this book was every bit exciting as reading it.
Danny R Smith is a retired homicide detective for Los Angeles County sheriff's department and is an outstanding author, perhaps the best, that can composite real situations into a functional story.
No other author since Joseph Wambaugh can capture the complex characteristics and idiosyncrasies of working law enforcement officers as well as Danny R. Smith.
Door To A Dark Room is Smith's second novel in the Vickie Floyd series. Detective Jones returns to city after recovering from gunshots wounds. He is involved with working a serial killer, which is the most violent killer that any author described. The killer, Leonard, is a total psychopath, who progressed from having sexual deviant behavior to a convicted murderer.
Leonard became "educated" in prison by first being a punk to a violent member with the Irish Mafia.
I do not want to give anything away. I will say, if this book does not get your heart pounding, someone should call for the paramedics.
In closing, Smith writes unparalleled authenticity that can only come from those that worn the badge.
