Produktbeschreibung
When it comes to the law, both the bad guys and good guys come in various forms. In Zero Degree Murder, the reader will go back to the seventies in Los Angeles, California and follow a largely true story about a fascinating officer named Allen Padget, who may have gone insane had he not gone undercover and infiltrated quite a few nefarious groups over time, including the KKK. You'll also observe a clever criminology student who gets right to the verge of graduation and must elect to either get his diploma or become involved in a bizarre case in which a husband and wife kill each other at different times and in different places. When it's all over the two men, who could have been grandfather and grandson, come together in a cloak-and-dagger meeting and reveal their long held secrets.
Autorenporträt
Like most Americans I liked my career of several decades but I have to admit that I didn't always approach the mornings with wild enthusiasm. But then, I retired and discovered something I never would have guessed: When the day is mine, I love to get up even earlier. Now I'm the guy who wakes up the rooster. I still work as much as I ever did, only I now work on things that bring me a different form of compensation. Like writing books. Some have asked me where I get my ideas, but it's no mystery. I had a storied youth with six sisters and a wild family. When I wasn't engulfed in that world, I spent a fair amount of my time wandering the alleys and streets of our neighborhood. A fellow learns a lot from all of those people even before he arrives for his first day of school. If he has the ability to recall the characters and the activities in which they engaged, and blend that with a dash of make-believe, there's a goldmine full of fodder from which to draw his inspiration.
