Gotcha!: Tales from a Black-Belt Bounty Hunter (Hardcover)

Gotcha!: Tales from a Black-Belt Bounty Hunter Book Description

GOTCHA! is a captivating account of the experiences--some amusing, some sad, and all fascinating--of Joseph Laney, a professional bounty hunter who, in his spare time, is one of the highest ranking karate experts in the U.S. When tracking and apprehending bail jumpers--from common street thugs to bottom-of-the-barrel scum--Laney uses his martial-arts-trained hands and feet, conventional weapons whenever necessary, and, most of all, his mind, to wend his way through the risky business at hand. With CSI-like attention to detail, Gotcha! shows us not just what Laney does in his pursuit of scofflaws, but how and why he does it, and even why--sometimes--he doesn't.
An intriguing mix of classic Southern true crime and law enforcement narrative, musings on the philosophy of martial arts and the meaning of life, and the reflections of a decent man keeping his compass through situations and places where decency seems irrelevant, Gotcha! is a look at the gritty reality of crime and the courts--and the people working both sides of the law.
