'A CAPTIVATING DEEP DIVE INTO THE STRANGE WORLD OF LATEX-SPORTING SUPERHEROES WHO FIGHT CRIME. WEIRDLY FASCINATING AND FASCINATINGLY WEIRD' John Sweeney When police officer Michael Matthews first hears about America's Real-Life Superheroes, he is skeptical - but also intrigued. Deciding to investigate this mysterious community of cape-wearing, weapon-carrying men and women, he discovers that they really do prowl the streets and alleys of American cities fighting crime and protecting the weak. Michael joins forces with the most famous Real-Life Superheroes in America, including Phoenix Jones and Master Legend, and quickly grows to like and even respect these odd but well-intentioned characters. But as he spends more time with the superheroes, Michael becomes horrified by their reckless pursuit of justice and the way they operate outside the law. Moonlighting as a superhero is a dangerous occupation and poses a huge risk to Michael's police career. How far into this strange world will he allow himself to be pulled? Funny, moving and utterly compelling, SIDEKICK tells a story so incredible it can only be true. If you like TIGER KING, Jon Ronson and Louis Theroux, you'll love this weird and wonderful true story of the part-time heroes who patrol America's streets. * * * SIDEKICK is the new release from Kindle Non-Fiction #1 bestseller and ex-cop Michael Matthews, who writes books which take you right up to the frontline of US and UK crime fighting. He is the author of WE ARE THE COPS, THE RIOTS and AMERICAN RUIN.
