A follow up to the author's first book, which was terrific. Excellent writing, hard-hitting stories from someone who has been in police work for a long time. The brutality faced by the Langan on a day to day basis overwhelming. He covers all sorts of crime, from drug use, to dog fighting to domestic abuse and manages to live and fight another day. If you love true crime stories. this is the one to read. Highly recommend.

The stories told in this book are not extreme by any means. Most were interesting but as an avid reader of true crime, I found the stories too tame for my interests. A person horrified by detailed brutal crime stories will most likely enjoy this book and find it captivating.

Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for providing a copy of this book to read and review. The opinions expressed here are my own.

A very easy read. There are some good stories in here. There are some that are rather underwhelming. All in all, it was just okay.

A true crime story like no other. This book features many cases handled by the Omaha Police Department written from the POV of one of their own. There are many great cases of drugs, murder, and more. More Busting Bad guys gives a variety of cases for lovers of all types of true crime. I enjoyed this book and learned a lot from it. I would definitely recommend it.

So this was an easy read, I was excited to read the reality of a Policeman role compared to movies TV
I watch lots of crime TV and I’m an avid reader of true crime and crime trillers.
This was very tame and a little disappointing for me, there was nothing new, storeys where quick reminiscent of things that he came across in his career. There where no big police spoilers for me when you watch and read as must crime stuff as me.
For a newbie reading crime they may quite enjoy.
But for avid crime reader and watcher I found little boring. No disrespect to writer I loved his writing style telling storey but they where quick read and ended and I’d nothing to grab me as a page turner guessing what next, who did it, what would I do.

Description from Amazon:
JUST WHEN I THOUGHT I’D SEEN IT ALL...

In his award-winning book Busting Bad Guys, narcotics sergeant Mark Langan told gripping street stories about bookies, drug dealers, and ladies of the night.

Now Langan tells more true-crime stories and those of his fellow Omaha police officers in blue—

-Sharp-shooting snipers who made a split-second life-and-death decision in Omaha’s most infamous hostage standoff

-The bust that took down the Hells Angels and their mega-caches of methamphetamine, money, and weapons

-A bizarre stakeout to investigate satanic animal sacrifices in a haunted park

-Cold-blooded serial killers and the case for (and against) the death penalty

-Firsthand accounts from meth tweakers who chase the devil’s pipe (and the missing suitcase filled with kilos of cocaine)

-The inside story about brutal blood sports: cockfighting and dogfighting

-And a kindergarten class’s best show-and-tell
