"""Dark Daze & Foggy Nights shows insight into the mind of a police investigator when dealing with a complex case that delves into the horrific serial rapes of many women. The reader will learn the traumatic consequences that will lead this officer into the darkest time of his life as he suffers for the pain and emotional distress of the victims. This is a provocative read and brings a good perspective into the life of a police officer."" -Floy Turner, Special Agent Florida Department of Law Enforcement (Retired) and Best-Selling Author, Behind Her Miami Badge ""In this compelling pager-turner, Investigator-detective Edward S. Scott offers rare insights into how sexual assaults continue to plague communities of all sizes. As someone who has written about sexual assault and has been an advocate at a rape crisis center, I'm all too aware that sexual assaults of all kinds too often go unreported. These are the crimes that tend to fall through the cracks of justice. Without Scott and the survivors, the rapist, well-known in the community, would still be among us, free to victimize even more women. Scott actually listened to the multiple accusers, most of whom hadn't filed police reports. He allowed their trauma to affect him and change his life, and not always for the better.

Scott does an outstanding job of capturing the essence of the police investigation and the heart of a true public servant in telling this amazing story. In my thirty-three years in a police uniform, working a patrol beat to narcotics investigations, I have seldom read such accurate descriptions of policing and the nuances that make up a driven public servant who puts him/herself in harm's way.

Author Information

Edward S. Scott (AKA Scott Schermitzler) wanted to serve others, save lives, and make a positive impact all of his life. He found his dream job as a public safety officer in 1993 in a quaint Green Bay, Wisconsin suburb. It was a community he grew up in, knew most of the residents, and always called home. As a husband and father, he continues to reside in the same little village near Lambeau Field. In his over 26 years of dedicated service as a firefighter, paramedic, and law enforcement officer, Scott took on several personal and professional challenges. Always yearning to know more, do more, and ultimately help more people, he prided himself on taking on many significant roles. Scott has had the opportunity to become a crime prevention officer, gang officer, firearms instructor, tactical rifle instructor, motor officer, SWAT member, and Dive Team member/OIC. He served the last 14 years of his career as a Senior Lieutenant. His biggest professional and personal challenge came in 2003 after he was promoted to detective and was faced with a case that would draw national attention and both bring him to the pinnacle of his career and crash him into a world that was so dark and lonely, he could hardly recognize. Dark Daze & Foggy Nights is his first true crime book. He lives with his family in Wisconsin. Find him on Facebook at www.facebook.com/EdwardSScottAuthor.
