When fashion designer Calvin Rigg was accused of murdering his partner, he turned to Al Pennyback for help to prove his innocence. Now, he and his staff are being threatened by a mysterious caller who wants money and revenge. It couldn’t come at a worse time – Rigg’s designs have come to the attention of the New York fashion industry, a chance for him to move up in the fashion world. Al finds himself once again immersed in the world of high fashion and evil deeds as he races against time to keep Rigg from ruin. It becomes even more urgent when the extortionist turns to murder to prove that he’s serious. Al must not only save his friend’s business, but the lives of his staff – as well as his own.

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.
