Blue Lights in the Night by Mark E. Nickerson

Trade Paperback. Real life stories of a Maine State Trooper!  For nearly three decades, Tr. Mark Nickerson had a front-row seat to the greatest show on earth. During his 28-year career, the Maine State Police trooper was often a star character in the show, starting his patrol in the Moosehead Lake region and finishing in the Waldo/Kennebec areas of central Maine. He handled both harrowing and humorous encounters, from pursuing a murder suspect to trying to foil an outhouse bandit on Halloween. Protecting a president, escorting home the body of a fallen soldier, and notifying family members that a loved one had died were all part of a day’s work. In his first book, Nickerson shares 30 memorable episodes of the greatest show, including a hair-raising motorcycle chase, a prison uprising, and riotous capers with Warden John Ford. Readers are invited to sit back and enjoy the tales involving rowdy suspects, unfriendly dogs and intoxicated pedestrians. They just might involve some neighbors.
