Detective Jess Hambrick of the Hampton Police Department is faced with one of the toughest cases of his police career. A serial killer has moved into the area and Jess and his partner Roy Hartman are faced with a task of catching a killer who is a master of disguise and leaves very few clues. In a matter of weeks and after several murders, the case moves out of Virginia and into the Carolinas. Detective Hambrick, working with the Charleston Police Department finds the case involves a very rich and powerful South Carolina family. With little success in solving the case in North and South Carolina, the killings resume again in Virginia and the target includes a prominent doctor. After many weeks of little sleep, junk food and gallons of coffee, Hambrick and Hartman catch what they hope is a break in the case.
In 1966, I became art director and writer for the USAF safety magazine, The Combat Edge, formerly known as Tac Attack Magazine at Langley Air Force Base, VA. I held that position until my retirement in 1990. In 1970, I introduced the comic strip "Fleagle" to the magazine and it was greeted with more than average success. "Fleagle" has been published monthly from the time of his introduction until early 2010. The popularity of the strip deemed it necessary for me to continue drawing it even after my retirement. In the late 70's "Fleagle" was printed in paperback and was received very well by the comic reading public. Other than Fleagle, I have had several short stories published and received the Distinquished Author award for "3 Against the Bay" in 2005.
My love of writing continued and until my retirement, I never had the time to devote to it. I had several ideas for novels and was eager to see if they would be accepted by a public. My first 2 novels titled "Gardens of Brookside", and "Misguided Action" were published in 2011. My third novel, "Delayed Justice" has just been introduced on Amazon.com an Barnes & Noble.com
