Overview

Ray, a city kid from the wrong side of the tracks meets Elizabeth, a person of privilege. After coping with opposition from her socialite mother and an unexpected pregnancy, the young couple eventually marry and start living the American dream. Their life is shattered when a child molester abducts their young son. Acting upon reliable information, Elizabeth confronts the kidnapper and she also goes missing. When the predator is named as a person of interest, Ray-although warned by police-breaks into the man's house and beats him nearly to death. Charged and convicted of various crimes he serves an eight-year prison sentence while the molester goes free on a technicality and eventually wins a civil suit stripping Ray of all his assets. Bitter and vengeful, Ray enlists other victims of legal indifference or limitations, and the grieving relatives form THE JUSTICE CLUB, a group that circumvents the judicial system acting as judge, jury and executioner for unpunished crimes against children. Just as Ray is finally about to lay his ghosts to rest, fate has yet another hand to deal.

About the Author

I grew up playing on the streets of Chicago so that makes me a city kid. I'm the second oldest of 13 children born to Irish Catholic parents and that made me a poor city kid. The big city has a lot to offer about the secrets of life and my character and who I am are reflected from that learning experience. My literary efforts include human interest pieces, children stories, short stories and three full length novels. My favorite genre is crime fiction and each story is character driven with a believable plot and numerous twists. Although I write mostly fiction my manuscripts are often fed with antidotes from either my life or from those I've met on life's journey. Those, along with a healthy dose of imagination often fill the pages of my manuscripts. My articles and short stories have appeared in various newsletters, newspapers, and national magazines for the past eight years.
