John Camp a.k.a. John Sandford
Bestselling author of the Prey series

The Dave Case Journal
All Five Fingers
What a children's game taught Dave about policing and perception.
As a new cop in Englewood, Dave found himself witnessing a startling game of “cops and robbers” that revealed more about street life than he expected. Decades later, a simple wave in Bridgeview reminds him just how far he, and the community around him, have come.
The First Time a Gun Was Pointed at Me
A rookie cop's lesson in survival, control, and grace under pressure.
Dave recounts a chilling moment when a fellow officer pointed a gun at him—and how that encounter shaped his understanding of fear, judgment, and staying alive in a high-risk job.
"This author's writing technique captures your attention, bringing you into the action from start to finish."
