Al Pennyback is just your run of the mill private investigator. He and Heather Bunche, his partner, are on retainer for a law firm, doing routine legal investigations. They handle the occasional over the transom case, so they’re accustomed to strange cases, but when a morbidly obese client offers Al one hundred thousand dollars to pick up a painting worth three quarters of a million dollars, he learns what strange really means. What he figured would be a well-compensated, but routine, and probably boring, pickup and delivery turns into a run for his life as rogue Russian gangsters decide he needs to die.

I've been writing since my teens. In addition to writing for several newspapers and magazines in the US, Europe, Asia, and Africa, I've written two books on leadership and a number of fiction works. I'm also a published poet, photographer, and artist. I write in several genres, reflecting my broad reading tastes. I spent 20 years in the army, retiring in 1982 and becoming a diplomat. I've worked in about 10 countries and traveled to about 30 more, mining each for material to write about.
