But those same sort of people have always existed beyond the page. Real-life lawmen who went above and beyond in the pursuit of justice and the law. Jim Doherty, "Just the Facts" columnist for Mystery Readers Journal and a third generation policeman, tells the stories of law enforcement legends in Just the Facts: True Tales of Cops and Criminals. Bill Tilghman, legendary Oklahoma lawman and town-tamer from the territorial era to the Roaring Twenties. Richard Crafts, an airline pilot who killed his stewardess wife and fed her frozen body into a rented wood chipper. Hawaiian policeman Chang Apana, the real Chinese-American detective who inspired Earl Derr Biggers to create Charlie Chan. Their stories and many more are brought to life in this new edition of Just the Facts: True Tales of Cops and Criminals, featuring articles new to the collection as well as three exclusive to this edition from Pro Se Productions. "This is a well researched, addictive collection of true case studies, some sensational, others little known, all intensely interesting. And one, The Mad Doctor and The Untouchable, will no doubt become a terrific movie." - Joseph Wambaugh Members Reviews: Five Stars An absolutely great book! I loved it! Great book and greater Person if you get to meet him in person. I and my son had the great pleasure of meeting Mr. Doherty and his lovely wife Katy at the Baltimore Comic Convention where he and the writers of Dick Tracy won the "Harvey Award" for the best continuous strip. We bought this book while at the convention so this review will not show we purchased via Amazon. That said I have told my son to also order a 2nd copy on his account so that we might also download it to his Kindle. He is an excellent writer, we thoroughly enjoyed the book and he and his wife's company at the awards dinner. Highly recommended read. Now if I could just find the book he wrote about Raymond Chandler. And Jim if you check your reviews on here I'm Daniel +1 Enjoy. Where Fact Meets Fiction If you like true crime tales short and well-told, this is your collection. Doherty has gathered an interesting group of tales (both historical and contemporary), researched them well, and recounted them in entertaining fashion. As an added bonus, he also tells when and where the true story ended up immortalized in fiction. There are far too few true crime "short story" collections on the market--and this is a welcome addition to that select group. Doherty's cop background and his penchant for research are quite evident, in both his choice of stories and in the telling. Fascinating and Enjoyable I usually read fiction but on a recommendation decided to read Just the Facts. Great read!!! The writing is tight and the stories are well researched. I agree with Joseph Wambaugh, "Addictive." I hope this becomes a series.
