Looking forward to the next installment of the good chief!

I enjoyed the storyline and was looking forward to the next page and what it would reveal. The story gave us a glimpse into the life of a man who had lost, but was now beginning to learn to live again all within the multi-faceted storyline of an decades old mystery involving government greed, ambition and personal regret.
