Robert Emmett 
False [EPUB ebook] 

He often wished police work was more like television or the movies
because most of the time it was boring and sometimes disheartening like it
was today. As Ben drove away from the old womans house he daydreamed
about a typical Hollywood-style investigation where a disenchanted
ex-special forces cop catches wind of a totally random crime thats
occurred, and drags all around him into a dramatic and adrenal-fuelled
ride, which ultimately gets solved due to the said ex-special forces cop
determination. The obligatory car chase and shoot out topped off by a
cunning twist, which the main character had worked out long before
everyone else.
