This riveting debut collection of short fiction about women cops
comes from the author's real-life experience as a Baton Rouge
police officer. In an entirely fresh and unique voice, these
stories reveal the humanity, compassion, humour, tragedy and
redemption hidden behind the "blue wall."
Anything You Say Can and Will Be Used Against You centres on
the lives of five female police officers. Each woman's story-like
each call in a police officer's day-varies in its unique drama, but
all the tales illuminate the tenuous line between life and death,
violence and control, despair and salvation. Because the stories
come from the author's own experience, they open a curtain on the
truth behind the job-how officers are trained to deal with the
smell of death, how violence clings to a crime scene long after the
crime is committed, how the police determine when to engage in or
diffuse violence, why some people make it from the academy to the
force and some don't, and all the friendships, romances, and dramas
that happen along the way. It illuminates not only how officers
feel while they are in uniform, holding their guns, but also what
they feel after they go home and put those guns aside.
