Peacemaker

by George Clerkin

All Pete Trevor has ever wanted is to live a quiet, unimposing life in his hometown of Fellowman. Unfortunately for him, but quite fortunately for the reader, this modest ambition is constantly confounded by the throng of troublesome personalities within his orbit. Among these are a goodhearted but unstable friend, a sociopathic football coach, an angsty punk rocker, and an overbearing employer, each of them doing their part in sending Pete along the road of a harrowing and unwanted adventure. Whether he's acting as a go-between in a dangerous love triangle, playing the role of mediator in a father-son dispute, or finding himself the victim of an ill-conceived kidnapping, Pete faces all of these challenges with humor, ingenuity, and the firm hope that one day his life will get back to normal. Along the way, he finds courage within himself he never thought he had, and discovers just how dark are those dark corners where joy may lurk.
