The Guards Themselves

Set in sun-drenched Phoenix, Arizona and populated with memorable characters,’ The Guards Themselves’ is the violent chronicle of a corrupt municipal government which, aided by an unwitting media, undertakes to shield from exposure by a naïve attorney general its criminal infrastructure. Written in a graphic style, the book brings together such disparate personalities as a professional killer, a dedicated police officer, a brutal detective, a shabby informant, and innocent citizens in an explosive vortex of manipulation, deception, and murder. Today, as it was two millennia ago, it is well to ask: Who will guard the guards themselves?
