have received five star reviews in the United States and Five
Crown ratings in the United Kingdom. Samuel E. Stone is a
retired police sergeant. His career in law enforcement spanned a
quarter of a century, during which time he served as a
patrol officer and a detective. He received a number of
commendations and recognitions, including "Police Officer of the
Year," for 1982.During his years as a detective he served two
tours of undercover duty, working deep cover. The first tour
involved his infiltrating an element of organized crime and
bringing down a topless club empire, which was involved in the
distribution of drugs and other criminal activities. The second
tour involved his portraying a burned-out Vietnam veteran
who owned and operated a surplus store. That operation resulted
in three hundred and thirty-six-drug related arrests, including
major drug dealers and the
seizure of numerous fully automatic weapons including machine
guns.He had many accomplishments during his career including:
becoming the first law enforcement officer in the state of
Washington to obtain a search warrant by phone, (telephonic
search warrants have since become a common practice in law
enforcement); writing a manual on the Landlord Tenant Act, which
is being used by law enforcement and prosecutors as a training
manual;
clearing more than one hundred and twenty-five burglaries
through the investigation and arrest of a burglary ring; and the
apprehending of a rape and murder suspect single-handedly.
During the course of his career, he was involved in supervising
both the patrol and detective divisions, including all forms of
operations from routine patrol to hostage negotiations to murder
investigations.After retiring from the force, Samuel found
himself with an identity crisis.
He was for years, “The Sarge,” and his world was focused around
his police work. He began writing rekindling the passion he had
for literature from his school days. In 1999, Samuel’s first
book “Shades,” became a Best Selling Ebook and earned Sam the
title of being a Best Selling Mystery Author. Sam has been
writing ever since. He also worked as a private
detective for a Law Firm for 15 years broadening his insight
into human nature.
