In this sequel to “Random Victim” Sergeant Francisco Leal is more than a little annoyed that his partner, Olivia (Ollie) Hart isn’t back working with him. Instead, when she isn’t working for her upcoming competition as a female body builder, she is stuck on some sort of special detail over in Robertsville, Illinois. Years of corruption have caused the local police force to be dismissed, and for now until the first class graduates from the academy, Cook County Sheriff’s Police are pulling patrol duty in

Today I had the opportunity to chat with Larry Hancock about his new book Someone Would Have Talked. If you are interested in the JFK assassination, this is a must have for your bookcase. Following is the result of both an email exchange and a telephone interview. You can find my book review here.
Simon@BNN: Larry let me first say that I greatly enjoyed your book, and thank you for taking time out to talk to me today. I was wondering how and when you first

Every century has defining moments, every person has defining moments in their life, it could be that first kiss, maybe the birth of your first child. It is a defining moment. It is a moment that the world changes.
In the 20th century there were several defining moments, however the one that is most lucid in my life happened on November/22/1963. Even though I was only 8 years old I remember this day, the day that John F Kennedy lost his life in Dallas, Texas.
It is

I enjoy a good thriller, and I was very much looking forward to Sheldon Greene’s latest novel Prodigal Sons, and I was not disappointed, it is a cracking read from cover to cover. Sheldon has two prior books under his belt Lost And Found and Burnt Umber. He has developed into an author with a great future, his writing style lures the reader into the tale light a moth to the light.
Set in 1950 post war Germany our main protagonist is Horst Vogle, a

Part fantasy tale, part mystery tale, this short book tells the tale of what can happen when a person is locked into sadness. The fisherman, Cal, is a stern father of two young children, a daughter and son. While the daughter, much like his wife, dutifully listens to him and does not disobey, his son is a bit of a wild child yearning for adventure.
The son gets that and more when he is pulled into the river that ultimately leads into Flat Horn Lake and

This is in fact the second book in the Oracle’s Legacy trilogy. The third part will be released early next year. The series, I had an opportunity to read the first one, is that fantasy/sci-fi trilogy of epic proportions. This is not your easy to digest fantasy novel, but one that takes thought and some effort to keep up. I would liken it to the “hard” sci-fi type of writing.
The story involves a secret civilization that runs in tandem with our own. Members of the

Eighteen years ago, as a patrol officer, Jack Carpenter responded to an assault call at the Sunny Isle apartment complex.

These days he is divorced, his daughter plays for the Lady Seminoles of Florida State Basketball team, and he has been booted off the police force leaving him free to run a business investigating missing persons.

The card game wasn’t supposed to be high stakes enough to attract the “Big Guy” but it did. A simple poker game undercover operation designed to net lower level casino cheats, has drawn “Khun Pan” one of the richest men in Thailand. Offended, he isn’t one to just let things go. A deal is struck and Raffery gets Pan’s permission to write his auto biography. He wants to do it without interference from Pan because as the French writer Balzac pointed out long ago, behind

Subtitled, “Left Wing Smear Tactics on Rogue Conservatives”, in fact its a sycophantic hit job on anyone who has criticised Palin since she was selected as McCain’s running-mate. Now there is plenty to be said documenting the vicious attacks on Palin and her family. However one would have thought that most people interested would already know all about them, in extremis.
What is amusing is they seem to think that Dan Quayle and George Bush are “rogue” Conservatives. Now both men suffered from left-wing trashing

From the title you would expect some sort of supernatural drama with lots of action and skullduggery. Alas, its more about a widowed journalist who falls for a guru casanova. You know the type who has a cult like group and sleeps with all the women involved? A man with power issues who fails to take no for an answer. This novella does not exactly break any new ground.
It reads well enough and can be finished in one sitting. There is nothing bad about
