EXCESSIVE FORCES
A Pittsburgh Police Thriller
by Dennis Marsili

“Get ready for a different kind of shot-gun start that turns lives upside down. Dennis Marsili has mastered the art of point-of-view storytelling, with insight only years patrolling a beat can provide. This is an insider’s look at the pressure-filled world of crime fighting. It shines a bright light on the little-discussed topic of police suicide.”– Jennifer Miele News Reporter and Westmoreland County Bureau Chief, WTAE-TV Pittsburgh.

“Gritty real-life portrayal by an officer who is on the ground. This really spoke to me because I have come from a family of military, firemen, and cops. Dennis Marsili knows his stuff...” – Christian Williams Government consultant to US Army Information Technology, US Army officer, Airborne Ranger Qualified, Air Assault Qualified- Retired and West Point Graduate.

“A gritty, realistic story of the law enforcement profession which combines the traditional police procedural with a stark warning of the unspoken realities that cops face…(such as) suicide.”– Frank Monaco Chief Borough of Plum Police, Major, PA State Police-Retired.

Pittsburgh police officer Guy Ruggerio is a proud, competitive, overachiever who loves his job, his police buddies, and his city of steel. But all of that collapses into despair on the night he is involved in a line-of-duty shooting and set-up for destruction.
