Following his best-selling The Detective in the Dooryard, Tim Cotton brings a fresh set of keen observations to his new collection. Drawing upon more than thirty years as Maine police officer–and even longer as a born-and-bred Mainer–Cotton shares stories about life–in Maine and elsewhere–about his experiences, and about the people he’s met along the way. With generous portions of wry Yankee wit and sage wisdom, this new collection will leave you laughing, crying, or maybe both at once.
