Thanks!
I’ll order that. I met him and his wife at a local restaurant several months ago my squad and I happened to go to. He told one of us who he was and we all got introduced. Nice people!
Just a dog chauffeur that used to hold the dumb end of the leash.

"...we suffer more in imagination than in reality." Seneca, probably.
I actually had dinner with Ed Tuesday night and he was gracious enough to give me a signed copy. I'm up to chapter 5 so far and it's an interesting read.
There's some interesting information in the book about the investigation and the crime spree Platt and Matix cut prior to the shootout. Lots of people don't realize that both men's spouses were murdered. (One had a significant life insurance policy) These two dudes had a look at straight life and decided it was for the birds. So they killed their wives and went to Miami during the cocaine cowboy days and partied it up.
When they ran out of money they started robbing armored cars and banks. And since they started down this path by murdering their wives, there was no barrier to violence left.
Talking to Ed I got the impression that these guys had decided they'd rather go out in a blaze of drugs, sex, and violence than work forty or fifty years at a low paying job and suffer through a meager retirement. Simple as that.
