We all understand that there are people who work with dependent children, children who are physically abused, sexually abused, neglected, or abandoned. We may be familiar with programs such as protective services or foster care. This book concerns one particular group in the dependency continuum less well known, abuse investigators. When a call comes into the Abuse Hotline, anywhere in this country, they are the ones who actually hit the streets, immediately or within twenty-four hours, to go into the home, make an assessment, and need to be right 100% of the time. They carry notepads instead of guns and keep their wits about them even in the face of real danger, real heartbreak, and agonizing frustrations. Almost always challenging, interesting, and even fun, the work seems to attract strong men and women of character who are committed to what they are doing. Hopefully, I was able to tell their story, to honor them for their dedication and service. This is a work of fiction and a little over the top to keep the pages turning. Adults, both male and female, who are looking for a good read, a rolicking thriller laced with social issues, cops, murder, sex,and fun should enjoy this book. No one wants to read a depressingly sad book anyway. I sincerely hope that the reader comes away with a better appreciation for these men and women and the extremely important job they do out there every day to help protect children.

Within a few days he is personally challenged like he had never been before, as there was little in college that had prepared him for direct, in-your-face, confrontation. Rob learns that he is replacing another guy who had been broken down both physically and mentally by thugs who truly enjoyed watching the man cry. Luckily he is partnered with Jack, a cross eyed, ex-paratrooper, who knows the ropes. Together they wade into the circus, dealing with suicide, pheasants, sex, trout, violence and bears. As Rob struggles to find his footing, he takes a few missteps along the way which threaten his marriage and his traditional values.

Fire And Forget

There's a recession on, you know. With an unemployed son and a baby on the way, those are not words that Michael Wyman wants to hear, particularly not from his employers?the university where he's a professor of philosophy, or the British secret service for which he's worked for 30 years. Yet both employers at once have informed him that he's being laid off without a pension. Happily, a miracle is at hand, in the form of a Communist spy burrowed deep into the highest reaches of British intelligence. An East German defector can identify the spy, and is willing to give up the information, but only to one man. At fifty-six years old, Wyman has one last chance to get back in the game and get out on his own terms.
