The Bad Shepherd
Los Angeles, 1981, is a city about to tear itself apart.
LAPD narcotics detective Bo Fochs has uncovered a drug ring that stretches from the neon nights of the Sunset Strip to the deadly streets of South Central. It's fueling both sides of L.A.’s gang war.
But to stop this urban drug lord before the violence erupts and takes the city with it, Bo will have to navigate not only the brutal dangers of gang violence, but also the subtle dangers in the corridors of power. And in the process he'll learn that not all justice is blind.
The Bad Shepherd is the first book in an exciting new crime series that digs into the music, culture and criminal underworld of 1980s Los Angeles.

Dale M. Nelson
I grew up outside Tampa, Florida and attended the University of Florida, where I graduated from the College of Journalism and Communications (Go Gators!). After graduation, I commissioned in the U.S. Air Force, serving as a logistics officer and war planner. After my military service, I worked in defense and tech before writing full time. I’ve had the opportunity to live abroad and see a large part of the world, thanks to my time in the military, and that’s certainly informed my writing. I currently live in Washington, DC, with my wife and daughters.
I’m a lifelong storyteller. I began writing at eight and never stopped. My school notebooks were indecipherable because I had as many story fragments, ideas, notes and bits of dialogue as I did whatever I was actually supposed to be taking notes on. I believe there is real power in stories. It can help us see and understand our world with a different perspective and experience things we might never see. But mostly, there’s just nothing like a great story well told.
Outside of writing, I’m passionate and loud about good books, good wine, music, travelling, snowboarding, college football and spending time with my family.
