    ATLANTA, GA, November 27, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Attorney Lance LoRusso, the acclaimed author of When Cops Kill has turned his pen to fiction with the new Christian thriller, Peacemaking (ISBN 978-1-61005-688-5-51095, BookLogix, 2015) due for release on November 12, 2015 and retailing for $10.95. An e-book edition will also be available. The book follows the journey of a police officer, Scotty Painter, in the aftermath of a shooting and LoRusso draws on his extensive experience as a former law enforcement officer and that of other officers in developing the story and expressing the emotions that the officer experiences, as well as, the affects the incident has on others. In Peacemaking, readers see the principal character as he travels his spiritual journey and ultimately turns to the only one who can truly understand his emotions and who he is.

"The news is full of stories of officer involved shootings and as quickly as they are reported, the media moves on to something else yet the emotions that the officer grapples with are continuing," said Lance LoRusso, author of Peacemaking. "In Peacemaking I want to take readers through the emotional and spiritual journeys that law enforcement officers experience after a shooting." I hope in doing this, readers will have a more balanced and nuanced understanding how these tragic incidents in the line of duty affect law enforcement officers as seen with the main character, Scotty Palmer."

In Peacemaking, Scotty Painter is the most respected member of his police department, having worked his way up from a street cop to deputy chief. After losing his wife, Christine, to cancer and giving his daughter away at her wedding, he now lives alone. His life as a cop is not easy, however, as he is haunted by the misery he has seen and the things he had to do to survive. One day, he finds himself sharing his deepest and most troubling thoughts with the only one who can truly understand his struggles and answer his questions. In a world far apart from his days filled with life and death decisions, Scotty comes face to face with his fears, his faith, and his destiny.
