Chad Cassidy, by any stretch of the imagination, couldn't be put in the category of an ordinary person. His extensive military training and natural instinct made him a valuable member of a secret military unit called Team Elite. It contained only five members, who took down drug lords, terrorists, slavery groups and contract killers. But his world came crashing down when upon returning from his latest mission, he learned his true love and wife of ten wonderful years had been killed in a hit and run car accident. Now with a daughter to raise, he knew they needed a change. So Chad resigned from the military and with his daughter and sister, left Washington D.C. to start a new life in Bullhead City, Arizona, as a detective on their newly formed homicide department. Little did he know that the new position would take all his wits and training just to survive as it leads him down the road of a serial killer that has been terrorizing the country for nearly two decades. As Chad Cassidy tries to adjust to life without his wife and protect the people of Bullhead City, he soon finds himself in his most dangerous mission yet. Does he have the strength and will to pull it off? About the Author This writing of books for me is possible through what I like to think of as the "Wonder Years" of growing up in Minnesota. I was a middle child and seemed to live a lot in my own thoughts and imagination. I was one of nine children and my father was for the lack of a better word "a tinker-man." We were a Walt Disney type of family and had many wonderful adventures in both play and work. After high school I caught the wandering bug. It was a great adventurous bug that had me join the U. S. Navy. There I saw many different countries and their cultures, and I thrived on the whole experience and thought the scenery was to die for. After the service I fell in love with my wife Janella and we raised four daughters. It was at that time in my life I knew that like my father, I also had the tinker-man spirit. During the years that followed, our family saw much of the country and lived in both wealth and poverty, showing us both sides of the money fence. After all these years, I find a vivid imagination still runs deep in me. So after some years of writing and re-writing, that imagination is now displayed in my books. This is the first book in a series of detective mysteries - I sincerely hope you all enjoy reading this book as much as I enjoyed writing it.
