Christopher Cross has it all – a woman who loves him and a son who adores him. When he runs afoul of mobster Augie Manson, though, he must give it up to save those he loves. So, he does what any good con man will do when threatened; he runs away. Cross’s girlfriend, Candace Kaine, hires Al to find him and bring him home. What should have been a simple missing person case becomes complicated when Al finds himself in Manson’s crosshairs. Our intrepid detective must use all his wits to survive and find Cross before Manson does.

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.
