Overview

"Bestselling author Loren W. Christensen served as a Military Policeman in Saigon, Vietnam, ""the most dangerous city in the world,"" as it was called at the time. Shortly after returning home, he joined the Portland Police Bureau in Oregon, serving for twenty-five years. As a street cop, there were times he was dispatched to dead body calls so frequently that other officers teasingly called him the ""Death Car."" It didn't help that the morgue was in his beat, which meant he and his partner were often called to identify freshly brought in corpses without identification. Dead Body Calls tells of some of his experiences with the victims of suicide, homicide, fatal accidents, and natural deaths that crossed his path. Loren shows the effects of the deaths on family and friends at the scenes and the eventual toll on him and other officers."
