Fulton Books, Inc., Mar 30, 2023 - Social Science - 488 pages
Leading an FBI Homicide Task Force and having run-ins with drug kingpins, murderers, and serial rapists would be the last thing you would expect from an introvert. But, as luck would have it, Maurice was that guy. Maurice spent his entire life trying to avoid trouble. Yet, ironically, Maurice was confronted with the most dangerous and horrific close encounters imaginable while patrolling Baltimore City and Prince George's County, Maryland.

 

During Maurice's 20-year career, he memorialized his cinematic transformation from a rookie patrolman to a relentless, battle-hardened police veteran. While mastering the art of "Looking for Trouble, "Maurice soared through the ranks and was promoted to Lieutenant. The police veteran graphically describes his action-packed career. Maurice was forced to examine and reconcile his upbringing as he operated in the shadows immersing himself in a lifestyle that he spent his entire life trying to avoid. While battling drug dealers, murderers, and robbers, another battle emerged and expanded beyond the streets.

 

Some of his fiercest battles extended to the halls of the Criminal Investigations Division and the Narcotics Enforcement Division. Maurice believed his career was in free fall, but a crisis shook the community. Against the odds, Maurice emerged as the lead investigator of an FBI Safe Streets Homicide Task Force, creating the biggest challenge of his career. Maurice was confronted with the same drug dealer whom he clashed with while a patrol officer. The drug dealer ascended to become a Kingpin while Maurice became a detective. Maurice worked frantically to stop the killings, trying to nab the most dangerous and elusive Drug Kingpin in county history, suspected of 12 murders.
