(Radio Iowa) – A crime novelist and former law enforcement officer from north-central Iowa is releasing his second book. Phil Queen is a retired Webster City policeman who’s now a criminal justice instructor at Iowa Central Community College in Fort Dodge. Queen’s newest work, “Forever Two Wheels,” follows an agent on a federal task force trying to break up a war between motorcycle gangs in southern Missouri.

“I got to go down to southern Missouri, down to the Branson area, and do some research of the area,” Queen says. “So it’s not for everybody. It is fairly violent but I think it’d be a pretty good read.” Queen released his first book last year, entitled “…And Hell Followed.” Queen says he decided to let the younger generation take over, so he quit law enforcement to become a teacher and author.

“I’ve really enjoyed my time off and I still keep keep in contact with a lot of the local officers,” Queen says. “Teaching the criminal justice classes at Iowa Central, this is my 14th year now teaching there, and I still feel like I’m part of the law enforcement community.” You can order the book through the websites of either Barnes and Noble or Amazon.
