Ich über mich
REFLECTIONS FROM THE PIT (see my website at: www.realmiamivice.com)

"That fellow (Berish) has a real talent for writing a story. That's excellent work."
E. Howard Hunt
(American author & C.I.A. spy)

Reflections from the Pit was awarded BEST FICTION NOVEL published in 2007 in the 2008 Public Safety Writers Association's annual writing competition

Not just another collection of rehashed police stories with shootouts & car chases.
REFLECTIONS FROM THE PIT contains individual, quirky, off-center characters. The stories focus on basic character flaws while dealing with social issues of the day: racism, sexism, prejudice, homelessness, segregation, teenage prostitution, police brutality and its senseless violence, the mystery of crazies abducted by aliens, the murdering of transvestites, the stupidity of criminals, the cowardice of police officers, affirmative action, Cuban freedom fighters a.k.a. terrorists, hangings from police cruisers, drug dealing cops and corruption.
