Edward
P. Ciesielski, Jr., aka “Ski,” was born and raised in Baltimore City and
currently resides in Bowie, MD with his wife Janet and son Paul. Mr. Ciesielski graduated from the
Mergenthaler Vocational-Technical High School in Baltimore and later attended
the University of Maryland University College. He served as a Prince George’s
County Maryland Police Officer from 1970-90, having attained the rank of
Sergeant. Mr. Ciesielski’s tenure with the PGPD includes service in the
homicide section from 1976-1981 where he was responsible for the investigation
of over 400 deaths. Included in those investigations were fifty-nine homicides
of which only three remain unsolved.
While
a member of the PGPD’s Special Operations Division, Mr. Ciesielski and other
squad members were temporarily assigned to the US Secret Service and arrested
Arthur H. Bremer immediately after he shot Alabama Governor George C. Wallace
and three other people at the Laurel Shopping Center in Laurel, MD on May 15,
1972. Currently, Mr. Ciesielski serves as a background investigator for the
federal government.
The
impetus for Mr. Ciesielski’s debut novel, ……IN SHEEP’S CLOTHING, is based in
large part on his personal and professional life experiences as well as those
of friends and relatives, especially his father, a retired Baltimore City
Firefighter. He has begun work on a sequel, THE KIT, expected to be completed
sometime in 2012.
I love it when a writer uses his own professional expert background in writing his novel. It always rings with the kind of truth readers have come to recognize and demand. Good luck with your book, Ed!
