blue

by  Daril Cinquanta
The Blue Chameleon details the journey of Detective Daril Cinquanta, now retired from the Denver Police Department, as he evolves into a “Super Cop” in spite of the efforts by some of his own commanders, community activists and even many other blueofficers who felt (threatened) by his hard work and exemplary successes, as they attempted, but failed, to render him ineffective for years.
