About this ebook

The book reflects what every one of us wants. We all have visions of being an action hero. The person who saves the day. Our writer is such a person. It is he who is playing the part, acting out every scene, every piece of action and putting himself completely in to the character. Pete Devine was doing all right as a private investigator, nice easy jobs and no danger. But now he was about to be tested to the limit. He was coming up against an Asian drug gang who were not worried about who they wasted and who had one of the detectives involved in the case on their payroll. In the days following his first involvement, he would be shot at, beaten and questioned and had his girlfriend kidnapped and used as a bargaining tool. Devines days as a private investigator were about to get very interesting.

About the author

Since the downturn of the construction industry, James Carroll has been looking for new ways to earn a living. He has tried a few different projects, but, having been involved in the construction for 30 years, he was finding it hard to adjust. That was until he came across some notes he had written some years before, when he had wanted to write but did not have the time. He had been accused, at the time, of stealing a jacket from a trader on Portabello Road and had successfully conducted his own investigation and proved his innocence. Being involved in construction he was unable to get time to write properly. But now the opportunity had presented itself again and James decided to give writing another try. After all it should be in his blood as his father had penned some plays for the local theatre group as well as writing some well known poetry. It was therefore fitting that James should continue his work and to dedicate his writings to his late fathers memory.
