Synopsis
Circa San Fernando Valley, California, September 1996.... The Detectives of the West Valley Devonshire Hills Precinct's Major Crimes Unit investigate a drive-by shooting on a busy West Valley Freeway and discover the victim is an infamous child sex-trafficker. This incident is followed by a flurry of killings, presumably connected to the trafficker’s competitor. Teaming again with Jeff Robinson, his longtime friend and partner, Major Crimes Unit Lieutenant Detective Len Morgan becomes involved in tracking down a notorious child sex-trafficker and drug cartel ringleader in Mexico. At the same time, the other Detectives in the Major Crimes Unit investigate the multiple shootings while seeking to weed out a dirty cop and possible hitman. Len Morgan's Asian half-brother, Wi, reluctantly putting aside a newly found romantic interest, returns to China to take on a separate hitman intent on killing him and his mother. It does become complicated.
About the Author
I retired as a Project Superintendent from commercial construction in 2001 and decided to fulfill a life's ambition-- to write detective-fiction novels. I'd had the urge for most of my adult life . In high school, one of my literature teachers once commented that I should pursue a career in journalism. Ever the skeptic, decades later I finally heeded his challenge in part and spent years writing hundreds of Blogs and Letters to the Editor. In 1997, I began writing A Scent of Suspicion at the suggestion of an Internet friend from Utah. Published in 1999, it became the first in the Detective Len Morgan Series followed by several popular sequels: His Father's Sons, A Passion for Revenge, CHAOS ...and Cops! and this, INSANIA INTERRUPTUS. In 2013, I took a short break from fiction writing and put together a compilation of my earlier political Blogs and Editorial Letters and published an opinionated non-fiction book, Prodigious Political Ponderings & Prognostications ...a sobering glance back; slouching into the early Obama years. All of these writings are available at the Createspace eStore and as Kindle eBooks at Amazon.com.
