Sean Peters  (A Good Thriller) David,


Hi, sounds very interesting, if time allows I would like to do what I can to help.

As you know from my bookshelfs I do enjoy crime, action thrillers and true crime.

Robin Burcell was also a Detective in SF PD and worked for FBI, and writes police crime books.
