Badge Number 13

Badge Number 13

A Novel

There’s a silence no siren can reach.

In a desert town that doesn’t exist on any map, one unnamed officer tells the truth the job won’t. From the first rescue in a freezing river to the last time the radio goes quiet, Badge Number 13 is a raw, unfiltered journey into the soul of a cop—and the shadow that job leaves behind.

Told in sharp, vivid scenes, this novel peels back the badge to reveal what no academy teaches: the humor, heartbreak, betrayal, rage, and moments of mercy that happen between the calls. From crooked partners to suicidal teens, from gas station food to life-or-death raids, the narrator doesn’t just survive—he remembers.

This is not a story of heroes. It’s a story of humans behind the uniform.
