Synopsis
The Calling is an action-packed drama that takes you through the first five years of the career of an American cop. You will get to know Dan McCarthy, who wants to be a cop for all the right reasons. You will ride along with McCarthy as he saves lives, catches bad guys, and tries to survive long enough to become a "veteran." McCarthy is a fictional cop in the fictional city of La Claire, Wisconsin. You will navigate the streets of La Claire with McCarthy and his colorful beat partners, Stammos, Carpenter, Dooley, Sgt. Compton, and the incorrigible Stanley Brockman.
Get ready for a realistic tour of what policemen do all over this country twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Strap on your duty belt and buckle your seat belt. It's gonna be one helluva ride!

12/30/2007: I did over 20 years in the Air Force as a cop and coming up on 1 year as a deputy in Florida. This was a great book to read and re-emphasized the reason I love doing this job. The worst part about the book was when I finished reading it. I would recommend this book for all cops and all ranks in our field. Thank you Lt Dan Marcou. I hope you have a book in the works for the next 5 years.

11/17/2007: This is described as a work of fiction, but having been in law enforcement for 15 years, Lt. Marcou places my thoughts, feelings and experiences on paper. While these experiences are differant from my own, at the same time they are exactly the same. As in all professions, there are always some who merely perform the job- true cops try every day to be better, and truely are the thin blue line. My hat is off to Lt. Marcou, and I recommend this book to all those interested in this career, especially those who have been doing it for years and think this is below them because they need no advice. I am purchasing additional copies for friends and certain lost officers alike.
