In his novels, Jess Waid draws upon his twenty-two years of experience as an LAPD cop. He worked the streets of Hollywood in the early 'sixties and retired as a Lieutenant II, in Robbery-Homicide Division.
While his works are fiction, many of his characters are based on composites of officers he worked with. His stories, in many instances, are based on actual cases.
Jess and his wife Barbara live in the Guadalajara area of Mexico.
