Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's the trial of the century in a 1940's North Carolina town. Murder and vigilante justice. War hero and law student Wes Ross has to save his uncle--but hide the truth. Taught to shoot in the rough logging camps of the North Carolina swamps, Wes Ross remembers his lessons well. Dodging hostile gunfire with dozens of other young Marines, he storms a remote Pacific island as one of Carlson's Raiders in the first commando-style attack of World War II. He blasts several Japanese snipers from their palm-tree hideouts with buckshot before an enemy bullet sends him home. The Carolina homefront includes a new girlfriend and a new occupation, learning to be a rural lawyer in his uncle's law office, including courtroom intrigue and what goes on behind the scenes. Wes, like his uncles, is a good man, the kind who takes up for the poor and downtrodden, looking out for those who are easy prey for bullies. Frog Cutshaw is the storekeeper in the Caney Fork backwoods, a swaggering ex-moonshiner who is deadly with his ever-present .45 auto pistol. Frog's daylight rape of a married woman and the brutal killing of her husband bring on Bible Belt vigilante justice, an eye for an eye, a life for a life. Wally Avett is a retired newspaperman. He lives in North Carolina.

After being held hostage in Mexico for several months, Jay knew flying the drug laden trip was his only chance of escaping. His intentional gear-up landing in Brownsville, TX almost cost him his life, being shot by the drug Czar as he diverted the aircraft from Matamoros to Brownsville, TX After months of therapy, and receiving a new first class airmans physical and recurrent training, Jay accepts the position of Chief Pilot for a fortune 500 company in San Antonio TX. Just a few months at his new job, Jay has a rude awakening as he is arrested for the murder of an FAA Inspector.

Deep in the Great Smokies, a huge black bear kills a child at a campground, and a hunt begins in a quiet mountain community where such threats are rare. Wade, an outdoorsman and backwoods columnist, is quickly deputized to find and slay the massive beast terrorizing tourists and locals alike.

Two fellow deputies are gunned down, and rumors of buried Civil War gold surface. Wade gets unexpected assistance from a wannabe writer whose gifts prove helpful even after mushroom trances and spiritual quests--enhanced by a Minnesota Vikings horn-helmet.

All the while, the looming threat of Junior's lethal lunacy stalks Wade and his colorful allies. Wally Avett is a semi-retired realtor in the Great Smoky Mountains of North Carolina.
