Book excerpt: When DC lawyer Jamie Maxwell returns to his hometown in Kansas after 25 years to help solve an old friend's murder, he gets involved in more than he bargained for. Delving into his friend's past, he discovers his role in a secret FBI/CIA project known as Salamander that has generated millions of untraceable dollars. Using his friend's clever clues, Jamie's snooping raises red flags in DC and puts him literally in the crosshairs of those who want Salamander kept secret. Torn between justice for his old friend and exposing associates back in DC, Jamie wanders in and out of his past amidst the events and colorful personalities of the annual Arkalalah celebration. The atmosphere provides a sharp contrast between a life and people Jamie once loved and his career amongst the DC politics and scheming that he has come to loathe. Arkalalah is a poignant story for anyone who believes that "you can't go home again," plus an exciting mystery involving an expose that makes "Iran-Contra" look like child's play.

Download or read book Closing The Circle written by Richard Haddock and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2008-06-19 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tommy Marshall was eighteen when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor and he enlisted, anxious to seek revenge, but the Army assigned him to a finance job in London where he languished as others fought the enemy. A chance encounter with Eisenhower landed Tommy in a combat unit and he found himself amongst those storming Omaha Beach on D-Day. What Tommy witnessed would change him forever; the loss of comrades creating a killing frenzy and heroics that won him the Congressional Medal of Honor. After the war Tommy tried to fit back into an America that was distancing itself from the scars of war. He married, started a family and a career, and pursued his newly won American dream. But that dream ultimately became a nightmare as his wife and son died and his career ended in bitterness. Years later, when Tommy entered the old soldier's home in Washington, D.C., he was resolved to spend his final years as a recluse. But when he returned to France for the 50th anniversary of D-Day, his perspective changed when he found the graves of his wartime buddies in Normandy and challenged himself to enjoy a life they had been denied. This is a story of the hope and promise wrought from war, of how its lessons changed those who fought it, and how a younger generation has much to learn from those who sacrificed for our prosperity and freedom.
