He has written five books about police work. Curbchek, the first book, is a case-by-case account of the streets, as he worked them from the start of his 30 career. Streetcreds details the time Zach spent in a gang task force and the cases that occurred.

Released in 2014, Landed On Black covers the constant state of hyper-vigilance required to survive the…
