Produktbeschreibung

Evil does not discriminate, terror is no respecter of persons and hate is often masked by a joyless smile. Such is the dark destiny that has covered the formerly happy town of Piedi d'Argento like a fog of sorrow and fear. As the body count grows, the town invests its hopes in the local police department to stop the killing and force the dark-hearted killer into the spotlight of justice. But, for the investigating team of Mike Orsak and Rusty Smith, the clues appear as scarce as footprints on the ocean. They persist, they grind, they guess, they wage a desperate search -- and they even pray. But, the blind trail includes a series of cut-backs, hairpin curves along slippery edges -- and even deadly detours. Their quest also nurtures self-awareness of their own personal demons and flawed vision. Finally, the path to the solution becomes clearer. But, the end of their quest is still shrouded in the unknown. Time is running out for them to uncover the answer -- and, once they do, will the secret of the slaughter die with them?

Autorenporträt

A native Californian, I've resided in seven different states -- spread out from California to South Carolina -- as well as in Italy and stint in Japan (U.S. Marines).
For more than 30 years I've worked as a newspaper journalist -- mostl of that time as a sports writer, although I also garnered significant experience as a police/courts beat reporter.
More than three dozen of my poems have appeared in several different literary journals; I've also self-published four volumes of poetry/short stories. Some of my most cherished honors/accomplishments/opportunities is being the sports editor of a sports section twice named by the Oklahoma Press Association as the sports section of the year in our circulation division, receiving an honorable discharge from the Marines following four years of active duty, earning a Bachelor of Arts degree from Weber State, living nearly two years in Italy (church service) among the Italians and learning the language, interviewing a Native American U.S. Olympic champion, receiving the Joseph Orengo Annual Award for sportsmanship and sports contributions in Oroville, Calif.
I've also won my age division (25-29) at a 5K run road race in Memphis, Tenn.; shook Ronald Reagan's hand in 1990; interviewed numerous pro and high-level college athletes, including at least two former Heisman Trophy winners (Archie Griffin and Jason White); written a full-length history of American Legion Baseball in Bartlesville, Okla.; and enjoyed numerous other once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to interview some of sports' most significant personalities from the past half-century.
