After a thirty-two year career with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, Peter turned his attention to writing his first novel, Night Terror. His considerable experience in law enforcement gives him a unique perspective and serves as a basis for his writing. As a result, readers are afforded an unflinching look inside the gritty, sometimes violent world of police work. His novels are crafted using the sardonic wit and cynicism common among law enforcement professionals and offer an uncommon and fresh perspective of the genre. A father of two adult sons, he lives with his wife of thirty-eight years on California’s beautiful central coast.
