关于此电子书

Five years ago, Detective Tim OBannon, NYPD, was shot during a robbery. He died on the way to the operating room. Thirty-six minutes later, he woke up as they rolled him into the morgue. Since the bureaucracy didnt know where to assign a dead detective, he was retired on full pension. He felt pretty bummed out until his brothers convinced him to go private. He takes an office above his brothers bar and grille. It is located between the office of Samantha Smith, a beautiful attorney, and Jake Goldstein, a very interesting forensic psychologist. That was the beginning of Unusual Investigations. She woke up in a hospital. She had bandages on her face, and her mind was a blank slate. The name on her chart was Mary Hill, but it didnt sound familiar. She knew she was American, she knew who the president was, but she knew nothing about Mary Hill. Doctor Connors told her that her mother and father died in a plane crash the same weekend of her assault in Maine. She was the only heir to a billion-dollar company, Hill Pharmaceuticals. A nice-looking man came to see her and said he was her husband. He talked and talked about who she was and their relationship. When the doctor shooed him out, she said, Theres no way I would have married that guy. When she asked for help, her pastor, Father Duffy, suggested Unusual Investigations. Tim OBannon travels from Glen Cove, Long Island, to Bangor, Maine; from Washington, DC, to Camp David. He meets with the Secret Service, with terrorists and other assorted bad guys. He learns more about the secret work of Hill Pharmaceuticals than he ever wanted to know.

作者简介

Jack of all trades and master of some. Born in the Bronx, New York, he got his first job at fourteen in a bowling alley. He was a pin boy, not much call for that anymore. Then projectionist at Reeves Sound Studio in New York. When he was seventeen, like everyone else, he joined the navy. The Japanese heard that he joined, so they quickly surrendered. Having been a very small part of the war to end all wars, he signed up in the reserve. He went back to work in the sound studio, but the union took away his job. He was an unhappy young man. He went to the YMCA Auto Repair School. After a year of study and experience, he went to work at West End Cadillac. After six months, he was recalled to the navy. They called it a police action in Korea. Six days after leaving work at Cadillac, he found himself on the Icebreaker Edisto heading to Thule Greenland. With his ship based in Boston, he met Gloria, and upon his navy discharge, they were married. He went to work in Danvers, Massachusetts. He was a part-time cab driver and a full-time policeman while attending a two-year business college. Seven years later, he moved his family to Cape Cod, opened a gift shop, then a boat yard, and a restaurant. Convinced by a priest that he could teach Christian doctrine, he continues to share his faith. Twelve years later, he packed up his wife and five children and moved to Florida. He sold real estate while preparing to open Musicana, a musical dinner theater. Twenty-eight years later, after auditioning 120,000 singers, producing a thousand shows, in theaters, resorts, and cruise ships, he wrote a book. You should read it!
