About

Jan Pinner Matthews, married to a detective, sought to deepen her understanding of law enforcement and victim advocacy. Her curiosity inspired her husband, Bill Matthews, and co-author, to collect stories from friends across the nation, sharing some of what their jobs entail as they dedicate themselves to ensuring public safety. Hopefully this book will enspire others to see where they can plug in their talents and be part of the those in the shadows of peril.


The Unseen Guardians is a collection of tales ranging from district attorneys to judges, an Air Force One crew chief, U.S. marshals, police officers, ATF agents, detectives, and beyond. They offer a rare glimpse into the daily lives and challenges faced by those on the front lines.


The book is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity, as well as a tribute to those who dedicate their lives to serving and protecting others. Within these pages lie stories that will both shock and inspire you, written by professionals from various fields, united by a common goal: helping victims find justice, healing, protection, and hope.


Through their firsthand accounts, you'll witness the harrowing realities of crime scenes, the complexities of undercover operations, and the emotional toll of prosecuting and judging evil deeds.
