MARCH TO SUCCESS (FROM KID TO COP)
An inspiring & humorous coming of age story that proves dreams can come true.
March To Success (From Kid to Cop) is Piper's nostalgia-filled, inspirational, coming of age, memoir detailing his pursuit as a mischievous inner city youth and later realization of his dream to serve as a law enforcement officer. This uplifting and often humorous true story exemplifies how anyone can change the course of their life, overcome obstacles and fulfill their dreams. While enjoying his growing up and cop stories, you’ll laugh, learn and become motivated to pursue your own goals and dreams!
Piper also describes his last federal investigation which was a corruption thriller involving military generals and potentially millions of dollars in losses. From his Las Vegas office, he gambled his career by refusing orders to stop investigating and instead went all-in to the Pentagon while challenging leaders in his pursuit of justice.
