Sometimes tragedy can be the most sincere teacher-something retired homicide detective Dave Sweet knows all too well. In this unorthodox police memoir, Sweet takes readers on a ride-along like no other, revealing poignant truths about life and death, and how we can work and live together. Danger and grit pair with humour and compassion in this gripping, fresh read.

Dave Sweet, a conservative, veteran homicide detective teamed up with Sarah Kades, a liberal, optimistic author to write this unconventional universal life-lessons book. Originally released in 2018, this revised and updated fifth anniversary second edition includes numerous updates and new segments. Insightful, painfully real, Skeletons in My Closet is an unexpected read.
