description
patrolled some of the most desolate and dangerous highways in America. Alone in the remote Nevada desert, miles from any backup, Raabe was forced to contend with murderers, thieves, perverts, dope peddlers, and the occasional runaway train.

While often tragic and terrifying, Raabe's true tales also abound with his signature wit and playful good cheer. Policing can be a deadly serious business, but for Raabe it also entailed buying a prisoner an ice cream cone on a hot summer day, or laughing along with some good old boys before booking them into jail, as you'll discover in Patrolling the Heart of the West.

In our contentious and politicized era, when police officers are too often portrayed as either infallible superheroes or oppressive henchmen, Raabe's charming collection reminds us that cops are mostly just ordinary men and women who've chosen an extraordinary career.

Praise for Patrolling the Heart of the West:

"Whether you have an interest in law enforcement, are a fan of all things Nevadan, or just want to enjoy a good book that you won't want to put down once you start reading it, you'll find Patrolling the Heart of the West to be a memorable read. Highly recommended."--Excerpt from Readers' Favorite, review by Kimberlee J Benart


"Perhaps the most endearing police memoir yet written. As a son and brother of cops, I admire the humanity Raabe brings to each of these stories."--Jon Gosch, author of Deep Fire Rise


"Raabe tells his experiences with excellent accuracy, grace and wit. I couldn't put the book down!"--Colonel Michael Hood, Nevada Highway Patrol
