Deputy While Immigrant: The Story of a German Who Became a Deputy Sheriff in Arizona is a work of non-fiction in the memoir, cultural writing, and slice-of-life subgenres. It is best suited to mature adult readers owing to explicit language and adult themes throughout. Penned by author Tom Peine, this beautiful memoir chronicles the remarkable journey of a German immigrant who transitions from the corporate world to becoming a Deputy Sheriff in Arizona. The narrative unfolds against the backdrop of 9/11, adding a layer of significance to the immigrant's experience in his new home. Peine shares vivid stories from his life on the beat, evolving into a detective and eventually becoming the official spokesperson for the department.
Author Tom Peine has crafted a vivid and memorable memoir that was a truly captivating experience to read, offering a unique perspective on American police culture through the interesting and insightful lens of a European immigrant. Peine provides an unfiltered look at life that leaves no stone unturned and no emotion unexplored, encompassing the challenges and triumphs of law enforcement. The book is penned with all the narrative skill of a great crime novel, offering a chronicle of fascinating detective discoveries and gun-slinging moments, but it also paces itself well to offer a poignant reflection on the author's time as a peace officer. Overall, I would highly recommend Deputy While Immigrant as a compelling exploration of cultural adaptation and service to a community, and one that memoir and crime fans alike will appreciate.
