1899, South Africa: As the Boer War rages, Captain Ingo Finch of the Royal Army Medical Corps pieces together casualties at the front. Later, recovering in Cape Town, he is woken by local police. A British officer has been murdered, and an RAMC signature is required for the post-mortem. Shocked by the identity of the victim, the bizarre nature of the crime and what appears a too-convenient resolution, Finch turns detective. He is soon thrust into a perilous maze of espionage and murder.

To solve this case, only an outsider will do...Ingo Finch faces his biggest challenge yet. New York, 1904 - over a thousand are dead after the sinking of the General Slocum, a pleasure steamer full of German immigrants out for a day on the East River. The community is devastated, broken, in uproar. With a populist senator preying on their grievances, a new political force is unleashed, pushing America to ally with Germany in any coming war. Nine months later, Ingo Finch arrives in Manhattan, now an official British agent.

The North Sea, October 1904 - When Russian warships bombard the Hull trawler fleet, killing innocent fishermen, public outrage pushes Britain and Russia to the brink of war, the sparks from which could inflame the entire continent. Doctor Ingo Finch, once of the Royal Army medical corps, is long done with military adventuring. But when a stranger seeks him out, citing a murderous conspiracy behind the infamous 'Dogger Bank Incident', Finch is drawn back into the dark world of espionage.

What do you do when a loved one is diagnosed with breast cancer? I never thought I'd have to ask that question until I reunited with Debbie in 2009. What do you do? You live. You live each day with all the vigor and love you can call upon, because you don't know when the last day will arrive.

His obsessions would thrust him back to October 2nd, ...

I came up with the idea for this work when I was watching, “We Were Soldiers Once.” The scene where Harold Moore’s wife was going door-to-door delivering dreaded Wester Union Telegrams. It dawned on me that there are very few books devoted to the women who served, worked or waiting home for their men. To me, it is one of the most powerful cinematic moments in a war film. Our women, have served, worked, died and cried untold tears to help defend and preserve the freedoms of our great country. They truly are the backbone of our great nation.

February 2013. The day started out normal enough for Mel: emails, phone calls, and general business issues. His normal routine was about to be disrupted when the new General Manager, Cheryl, told him and Jimmy to evict the two hookers whose rent was three days past due. Mel shivered at the thought.

What they saw reminded him of story the ole’ timer told him about the unsolved murders of two oil men in 1973. Join Mel, as he embarks on a simple ...

They fired up the machines and began moving dirt on the new US 169 project. Halfway into the day, Jimmy’s scraper went over a patch of white rock, or so he thought. His discovery would be the first sign of a much deeper look into the local drug trade. Enter Tulsa Detective, Robert Fowler. He wasn’t the most likeable person by anyone. His gruff demeanor and bad attitude kept his circle of friends ...

March 20th, 1968 13:07:30 “Comrade Major. We have a rogue MIG invading Allied airspace.” “What?” inquired the Major. “It has fired on the Allied planes!” Klaxons blared out across the NATO and Warsaw-Pact countries. Both sides began gearing up for the final confrontation-Nuclear War! “Comrade Major. Rogue MIG is down. Captain Voroshilov is headed back to base. He has an F-100 on his tail.” “Has he crossed into our airspace?” “Not yet. Comrade Major.” “Comrade Major.
