Plot Summary of Blink
"Blink provides an intimate view into the psychological makeup of a cop from his adolescence through his career in Law Enforcement. It is an action packed suspense story focusing on survival. It is not a story that you
will merely read but rather it is one that you will experience. It will have you on the edge of your seat and leave you with a broader sense of understanding of what it means to wear a badge of honor."

Samuel E. Stone, Resident Scholar
