Chicago Police Officer Pete Shannon's life is about to take a dramatic turn. His wife has a dark secret that she's about to reveal to him; his partner's life is about to be in jeopardy, and worst of all one of his own colleagues will present him with one of the biggest challenges of his life. Pete's strength, both physical and spiritual, will be put to the test as he and his partner work the "graveyard shift" on the mean streets of the "Windy City."
Fellow officer Marilyn Benson doesn't realize it yet, but her life is about to change in ways that she could have never imagined. Forces of good and evil will do battle for her soul and her faith, both of which have lain dormant for many years. It's an issue that she can no longer ignore. St. Michael the Archangel, patron saint of police officers, is about to engage in his biggest clash since throwing Satan out of Heaven.
The battle lines are drawn!
Praise for Chicago Warriors!"I spent a lot of years with John Wills in the law enforcement trenches of Detroit, a place where Christian faith is rarely a survivor. Somehow John's flourished. In Chicago Warriors, he has created a unique narrative demonstrating how the worst of man can be defeated by the best in man. It is a parable of a morality that is vanishing from the American landscape."
--Paul Lindsay, author of The Fuhrer's Reserve and Traps: A Novel of the FBI
"Wills covers issues that are timely today, including date rape, violence associated with prostitutes, steroid use among body builders, young criminals and police corruption....By today's standards it is also acceptable for readers of most any age. There is no problem with language, sexual content or violence."
--Marilyn Olsen, President of Public Safety Writers Association
"Chicago Warriors" is the true voice of a battle tested street cop. A well written testimony of a Chicago Lawman. "A real cop's words, a real cop's experiences, John Wills knows how to tell a story!"
