Summary

Bad things happen in the Pit, a notorious crime-infested ghetto in downtown Miami. Michael Berish?s experiences as a Miami policeman for twenty-two years serve as fuel for these exciting, intense stories about life as a cop in a tough part of a big city. Not just another collection of rehashed police stories with shootouts, car chases, and damsels in distress,Reflections from the Pitcontains individual, quirky, off-center characters. The stories focus on basic character flaws while dealing with social issues of the day?racism, sexism, prejudice, homelessness, segregation, and brutality. Berish uses his intimate knowledge of the Pit to bring the tales alive. These reflections, covering more than one hundred years of history, give pause for thought and a peek into the human swamp of life in the Pit.
