Ebook: Behind the Badge: Her Story

In the Spring of 2002, thirty-one-year-old Antoinette Bostic, an African American woman graduates from the Detroit Police Academy Class 2002D as Officer Bostic - Badge #3641 to serve and protect one of the most dangerous cities in America; Detroit.

In lieu of the struggles of raising three daughters on her own, identifying with the dangerous perceptions of being a threat as a black female wearing a badge and carrying a gun, Antoinette's childhood dreams of being a Detroit Homicide Detective solving cold cases were on the verge of becoming a reality to make her mark as a police officer.

Assigned to Vice, working undercover as a prostitute on Detroit's ruthless streets, rookie cop Antoinette Bostic navigates through the seedy sex trafficking underworld when she's swept into a cyclone of scandal, political corruption, and the cross-hairs of an infamous stripper party at the mayor's Manoogian Mansion. Focused on survival, she discovers the truth of a relentless stalker's sadistic plan of attack and that the good old Boys Club and Blue Code of Silence bleed beyond the badge into politics and the church-challenging her faith and focus.

Detroit is on the brink of ruin under the reign of notorious mayor Kwame Kilpatrick. A city once rich in industry, capitalism, culture, and faith institutions are now in need of redemption and salvation-and so is Antoinette, a Detroit Police Officer fighting to save her family and her life.

Who's going to save her?
