Deputy While Immigrant
The book will take you on the incredible journey of a German immigrant, who came from the corporate world of business lunches, suit-and-tie dress code, to his experience of 9/11 shortly after his arrival in his new home country. Destiny flung him to the far southwestern corner of the United States, where he became a Deputy Sheriff at the age of 41. In this autobiography, Peine takes the reader on a virtual ride-along. You hear story after story about his life on the beat, later as detective, and finally as official spokesperson for the department.
