Tears of Blue on the Gold Coast
For three years, Howard Mark Hines walked a path few people ever see. He searched out the gravesite of every law enforcement officer who ever fell in the line of duty in Palm Beach County, from Key West to Ohio, Tennessee, Georgia, Virginia, and Kansas, cleaning weathered headstones with his own hands and repairing what time and neglect had worn away. Tears of Blue on the Gold Coast is the record of that promise kept, that none of them would be forgotten.
