LAKEPORT, Calif. – Retired California Highway Patrol Lt. Steve Davis will celebrate the publication of his book “22E … Officer Down” at Watershed Books in Lakeport on Friday, May 24.

The event will take place from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.

When CHP Officer Sonny Tyler is gunned down on a rural Northern California road near Eureka in 1970, the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office puts their best man on the case.

Det. Sgt. Don Regan works obsessively to solve the case and keep a promise he made to Officer Tyler's 9-year-old son, Casey. But the clues are few and they lead nowhere, and eventually the case goes cold.

In 1987, Casey – now a CHP officer himself – joins forces with soon-to-retire Sgt. Regan to reopen the cold case, with a dramatic outcome waiting for them both.

Join Davis and crime novel enthusiasts for good conversation and refreshments.  

Watershed Books is located at 305 N. Main St., Lakeport.
