The Wagon and Other Stories from the City
Chicago cop Martin Preib is Exhibit A for the dictum that nobody can write about a cop's life the way a cop can. And very few can write any kind of nonfiction with the startling directness and poetry that Preib brings to this memoirin-progress. Preib has been with the Chicago Police Department, working in the 24th District, the most diverse community in the city, for five years.
