John E. O'Rourke

While working as a trooper with the N.J. State Police, O'Rourke wanted to honor those Jersey Troopers who died in the line of duty. So, O'Rourke set out on a six year journey to document the events which took these trooper's lives. In May of 2010, the History Press Publishing Company, Charleston, S.C. published O'Rourke's first book, "Jersey Troopers: Sacrifice at the Altar of Public Service." The book sold out in a month and a half. 

In February of 2012, a follow up book entitled, "New Jersey State Troopers: Remembering the Fallen" was released and has proved equally successful. 

O'Rourke's third book about Richard Biegenwald "The Jersey Shore Thrill Killer," was released in September of 2014 and has been well received.

O'Rourke's forth book, Mystery, Millions and Murder in North Jersey was released in May of 2019. 

O'Rourke is presently working on his first non-fiction manuscript.
