Even as a child running through an imaginary world of good guys verses bad guys, Joseph Smith had a dream of becoming a Police Officer. He had a dream of making a difference and putting bad guys away in jail to keep the streets of his city safe. Over 10 years of policing some of the toughest streets that a metropolis city has to offer, his dreams have changed. The reality of drug fuelled crime, victims forever scarred and the odour of death have forever changed his dreams. Dreams now boarder on nightmares as the author works his way through a dark valley that is rarely graced by the warming touch of light.
