Dead Drop

by Jesse Miles

Overview

Jack Salvo teaches philosophy one night a week at a local community college, but he pays his bills by working as an L. A. private detective. A local aerospace company hires him to investigate a small-time embezzlement. The company assigns a pretty, quick-witted security expert named Lilith Lin to work with him. It's a piece of cake - a direct route to the embezzler and a client with deep pockets. But another embezzlement and a pair of corpses expand his investigation into a labyrinth of espionage, kidnapping, and murder. Jack's life and Lilith's are at stake, as are classified secrets that could impact national security.

About the Author

Jesse Miles grew up in Central California, where his ancestors had arrived from Arkansas and Oklahoma during the Dust Bowl migration. When he was eleven years old, his father took him on a business trip to Los Angeles, and little Jesse immediately decided he wanted to live in L.A. During his college years in Orange County and Los Angeles, his part-time and summer jobs included work as an insurance investigator in the Hollywood area. That work experience provided some thought-provoking insights into the human condition and laid part of the foundation for his writing detective novels. He earned an MBA at UCLA and put in three decades with a large corporation, working in computer security and other phases of security. Over the years, he worked with a wide range of law enforcement and military intelligence veterans, learning many lessons of criminality, investigation, and survival. Jesse currently lives in the Brentwood district of Los Angeles.
