Reviews
Filled with fascinating, yet stark revelations down through the decades, this book brings the reader to the nightmare that haunts all cops ... the brutal murder of one of their own that has gone "Unsolved."
Tom Lange - Detective
LAPD – Retired
Within this masterpiece of historical account, we learn how law enforcement have paid the price with their lives. Most important of all, Unsolved has one overriding message: We must never forget. We must honor their sacrifice. And we must be relentless in the pursuit of truth and justice. The fallen and their families deserve it. Excellent book!
Victoria M. Newman, President of How2LoveYourCop

If this book causes one agency to reopen unsolved murder cases it will be worth the effort that James Bultema put into writing his book. An Excellent book which could be very important for many law enforcement families across the nation.

Former LAPD & Oregon Cold Case Detective
A police officer's death in the line of duty is the ultimate sacrifice. These tragic losses are compounded in those cases wherein the officer's killer is not caught and brought to justice. Unsolved masterfully details 92 of these cases.

The Arctic is no longer frozen—it's on fire and Greenland is the target.
In the chilling aftermath of the Sea of Red series, the United States faces its most treacherous enemy yet: a resurgent Russia hell-bent on controlling the Arctic’s strategic frontier. As ice melts, tensions ignite.
Lieutenant Commander Jessie “Swagger” Hampton is back in the cockpit of his F-35, now flying combat missions over the world’s newest battlefield. His wife, Lieutenant Commander Sarah “Danger” Freeman, patrols the skies in her E-2D Hawkeye, the eyes of the fleet, tracking enemy fighters, detecting missile launches, and directing the kill chain as war erupts across the Arctic.
When Russian forces launch a surprise invasion of Greenland, the U.S. military scrambles to respond. From silent submarine warfare beneath the polar sea to high-altitude dogfights and boots-on-frozen-ground combat, Arctic Red delivers relentless action and razor-sharp realism.
The war for the Arctic has begun—and the cost of failure is global. From multi-award-winning author James Bultema.
