Former RCMP Sergeant Charlie Scheideman author of Policing the Fringe The Curious Life of a SmallTown Mountie is back with the same wry humour and a new collection of incredible stories drawn from his twentyseven years of patrolling the small communities of the interior of British Columbia. These new adventures have him repolishing his boots and relaying untold tales such as the lone officer who takes on three legendary hardfighting drunks earning him the respect of the citizens of Prince George including the louts he singlehandedly flattened. An escape from a youth detention centre takes a troubled young man to new heightsin a stolen airplanethat he narrowly survives after crashing into a mountainside. Here too are stories conveying the sad truth and tragic consequences of alltoocommon alcohol abuse such as when an innocent man survives an alcoholinduced multivehicle accident on Jackass Mountaintwiceonly to be taken by a determined Grim Reaper as he aids another motorist. Scheideman illustrates that fate looks after some of us in another story where the extremely drunk driver and passengers of a violent single car accident miraculously survive.The strangest things seem to happen in isolated towns and Scheidemans latest assortment of intriguing tales recounts more of his experiences from the absurd to tragic. This new collection leaves the reader with renewed admiration and wonder for the men and women who uphold the law in some of BCs more lawless regions. show more
