CROSSING ALL LINES author Gene Warneke faithfully recreates the life and times of William (Bill) Schneid, ex-beat cop, special forces and ops operative, undercover agent, criminologist, and private investigator. Warneke gives us spine-tingling, sometimes humorous short stories that entertain but also expose the bigotry and unethical behaviors of domestic law enforcement agencies and special operations abroad.
