Never assume things are the way they appear. Five Tuscaloosa police officers meet at a local bar to reflect and reminisce about wild shenanigans, heroic actions, and their most heartbreaking moments while celebrating twenty-five years of service of one of their own. This book was inspired by real-life events and the police officers who lived them. The story will keep you guessing until the spine-chilling end. See what readers are saying... “I just finished reading The Retirement, and wow. Just wow! It isn't often that the ending of a book stops me in my tracks and brings tears to my eye, but this one did. Well done from the first page to the last. I have sat with cops in bars just like the Top Shelf and swapped war stories just like these friends did, and their stories ring true. Well done, Mr. Robinson. I will be looking for more of your titles.” - Nick Russell (New York Times bestselling author) “If you want to know what it really feels like to be a police officer in a college town this is the book for you. As the wife of a retired officer I felt like I was sitting with my husband after he got off work and was winding down. I recognized some of the incidences in the book as similar to the ones my husband talked about (of course names were changed to protect the innocent or maybe not so innocent). The characters are authentic (I actually recognized some of them). The ending was so unexpected that I actually gasped when I read it! I cried through the last nineteen pages of the book. I strongly encourage you to give The Retirement a try, especially if you like fiction based on real life.” - Becky Brown (coupleofbeesread.com) “Great read, didn’t expect the ending. Got me there! I loved it! Would definitely recommend. Much respect to our men in blue.” - Nikki Malensky “I couldn’t put it down. I’ve read hundreds of books and I have this one in my top 5 of all time. I hope he writes many more in the future.” - Lee Mobley “It was cool to read a book based on my hometown and I definitely didn’t see the ending coming!” - Heather M Wyatt (Author of My Life Without Ranch)
