Old Police Stories

The Axe Murderer of Pensacola

I have just published my newest book, called “The Axe Murderer of Pensacola.” It is a true book about the 1926 axe murder of Preston Pickern that took place in downtown Pensacola. It is a short book, offered on Kindle for $2.99.

Lastly, I have another book, “Some Gave All,” that has been submitted to the editor and should be available in a few weeks. It lists all the officers – law enforcement, corrections, and probation – killed in the line of duty in Escambia, Santa Rosa, Okaloosa, and Walton Counties, including K9s! The list stretches from 1889-2022. There are 67 heroes that died in many ways, including gunshots, traffic crashes, heart attacks, and Covid.

Enjoy!
