Jackson Wolfe: Detective on the Vigilante and Superhuman Investigations Department (V.S.I.D.) of the L.A.P.D. A transplant from Salt Lake City, Jackson is new to L.A. and its eccentricities. After a year, the city continues to shock and appall him. He is an excellent cop with an uncanny talent for reading people. Macy Grey: Jackson's partner on the V.S.I.D. Macy's high, girly voice and tendency to embarrass him with public displays of affection keep Jackson in a constant state of apprehensive annoyance, but the initial stereo-typical "bimbo" impression she gives off masks a shockingly sharp intellect. He learns quickly not to underestimate her. Chief Munson: The often grumpy and always gruff Chief of the L.A.P.D. rebels against technology, preferring the old-fashioned way of doing things. Along with his age has come wisdom and the ability to know what's really going on even when everyone seems to think they can pull one over on him. Beneath the stodgy, salty exterior beats the heart of a hero behind the heroes. Father Time: Retribution incarnate, he is only aware of his prime objective, moving toward it relentlessly under the cover of night. Black mask, armor, and cape make him an intimidating figure, capable of striking fear in the fearless. An hourglass glows in the center of his powerful chest, symbolizing his ability to bend time by stopping, rewinding, or fast-forwarding it in approximate 10 minute increments. This power assures his success in reaching his objectives. Is he hero or villain? You decide. Orion: The sleek, futuristic A.I. vehicle belonging to Father Time. His sentience and self-awareness come as a surprise to his owner, triggering a chain-reaction that quite possibly results in Father Time's awareness of his own sentience. The Vigilantes: An unknown number of individuals who take the law into their own hands, picking up where official law falls short. They are seen as heroes by the public they defend, threats by the criminals they undermine, and outlaws by the authorities. What's more, they are reported as having abilities that defy nature and, if proven true, would classify them as super-human. Meet these epic new characters and a handful more in this original, dark, superhero story disguised as a crime/ mystery novel that is written for the 18+ age group. Synopsis: Detective Jackson Wolfe thought he had stepped into the pages of a comic book. The first indication was the unlikely partner he'd been paired with. Macy Grey was a seemingly naive, annoying-yet-beautiful blonde "bimbo". He was further astounded when he learned the nature of their department. He had been assigned to the highly confidential and brand new V.S.I.D... or The Vigilante and Super-human Investigations Department. Wait... what? Did old Chief Munson have a sense of humor after all? Were they pranking the "new kid on the block"? Jackson didn't buy it. "Go forth! Track down and arrest thee Spiderman... and his cohorts!". Well, it was no prank. What's more, it didn't prove to be an easy task. The alleged "super-powered" vigilantes were apparently much better equipped and far better trained than the police or F.B.I's most valued and effective members. This just fueled the desire to put a stop to them. After all, no one should be allowed to apprehend criminals without doing mountains of paperwork! Look for A Time to Die, Book 2, now published. Don't forget to give a 5 star rating and rave review!
