Tales of the Alaska State Troopers

"Cops have the greatest stories and the Alaskan Troopers’ tales are in a class of their own. Peter Mathiesen truly brings these stories to life." — Lieutenant Randy Sutton (ret.), author of True Blue and A Cop’s Life

"In this series of exciting, well-crafted stories, Peter Mathiesen pays homage to the history of this storied law enforcement agency and to the men and women who must not only cope with criminals, but with the extreme elements, wildlife, and landscape unique to Alaska." —Dave Atcheson, author of Dead Reckoning, Navigating a Life on the Last Frontier, Courting Tragedy on its High Seas, and Hidden Alaska, Bristol Bay and Beyond

"With the skill of a novelist, Mathiesen weaves the art of storytelling into this non-fiction book. The who-done-it suspense of some chapters makes for edge-of-your-seat reading, while other stories elicit smiles if not outright bellyache laughter or head-shaking amazement. . . . The book provides a detailed look at the heart and soul of the troopers that reality shows can’t touch; true-to-life interviews and stories direct from the troopers themselves, fact checked and colored as only an experienced Alaska author can do. If you love Alaskana, buy this book." — Christopher Batin, editor and publisher, Alaska Angler/Alaska Hunter Publications
