Reviews of The Firestone Syndrome
"Beeler strips the mantra from television and movie portrayals of grunt-level police work. He thumbs his nose at political correctness... he cleverly castigates the courts, the justice system, politics, politicians and bureaucratic favoritism... his characters are real and recognizable; they exist in every police and sheriff's department in the country. He has "walked the walk"..."talked the talk."
Captain, LA Police Dept. (Ret.)
"The story reflects what can happen when the "police" think they are at war with their community. Who becomes the "enemy"? Although the situation is in Los Angeles, this syndrome can occur anywhere that police leaders aren't diligent."
"Author Stephen Beeler, worked for the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department for 21 years, serving as everything from a patrol officer to working in administration. He knows law enforcement and what can go wrong. The Firestone Syndrome portrays what happens when officers of the law act above the law, taking matters into their own hands. It also shows checks and balances that provide damage control, and the bravery of those who patrol their own."
Book Reviewer for Readers.com
"Unbelievably spellbinding! The author has a unique way of drawing you into all the intrigue to where you feel you are there. I loved it!"
"It's written as a novel, but I'd bet most of it is true! I was on the LA County Sheriff's Department during the period of time that Beeler writes about and I can confirm that most of what he tells was normal procedure. I'd also bet that this is a story he wanted to tell, but wrote it as a novel to protect himself. Wow, what a story!! It sure brought back memories. I'd give it 5-STARS."
