The shocking true story of Allison Moore, a cop in Hawaii who
became addicted to meth, deceived her entire police department, and
endured prison, prostitution, and torture--until finally seeking
redemption.
As a beautiful, ambitious, and fearless young woman, Allison Moore
had everything going for her: She had been the star student of her
recruit class, was quickly promoted to vice cop at the Maui Police
Department, and gained the respect of her colleagues and a stellar
reputation. Her future couldn't have been brighter. But when a
doomed love affair with another cop led Allison to seek escape in
crystal meth, she suddenly found her whole life turned around.
Using her position of authority and skill of manipulation, Allison
hid her addiction to methamphetamines from her lover and her
department for as long as possible. She fabricated an elaborate
story that she had ovarian cancer and needed to seek treatment on
the mainland, while actually escaping to get a steady supply of
meth through a brutal Seattle drug dealer. Allison's friends and
colleagues donated their sick leave to her and organized
fundraisers for her fictitious cancer treatment. Meanwhile,
Allison's dependence on meth put her at the mercy of a ruthless
drug lord, who made her a virtual prisoner in his house, beating,
raping, and torturing her repeatedly.
Allison was able to escape with the help of her mother, but just as
the nightmare seemed to be fading and she got sober in rehab, she
was extradited to Maui to face twenty-five felony charges filed by
her own department. After a trial, she was sentenced to and served
one year in the Federal Detention Center in Honolulu.
Astounding, gripping, and told firsthand in a deeply sympathetic
voice, "Shards" spares no detail of Allison's horrific experiences
and the web of addiction and betrayal that cost her everything--a
career she loved, the colleagues who adored her, and the island
that was once her paradise.
