Who Killed Trixy Morgan

by Mary Base

Overview

Detective Sergeant Margaret "Magnum" Schultz has been a cop with the Porterville Police Department for ten years. The old adage "a woman has to work twice as hard as a man to get half the credit" may apply, not only because Schultz tops out at five-four but because not all the men she works with think she should be there.
A hooker is found strangled behind a local tavern. Magnum goes after the killer. She chases a Dodge Ram out into a muddy field in her Ford Crown Vic. She gets surprised in her own garage by a serial killer, whose last victim was hacked to pieces and fed to pigs. The knock-down-drag out that ensues speaks well of the Model Mugging techniques she uses to survive. Her primary concerns are the safety of her 13 year old daughter and getting the job done well.

About the Author

I was raised til age 15 on a farm in Central Idaho. My dad was a Czech immigrant and my mom was an Oklahoma City business woman. I graduated from Gonzaga University in 1968 with a B.A. in English.

In the days before women routinely became street cops, I'd read a book about a woman who did that and decided that was for me. Beginning in 1981 I worked for 21 years as a police officer, first in Davenport then in Cheney, Washington .

In 2002 I hung up my gun belt and went back to school for a BA in Education so I could teach Criminal Justice at Lewis & Clark High School in Spokane. After three years of that, I decided that the public school system and I were not going to see eye-to-eye, so hung up my lazer-pointer and turned my attention to the martial arts school I'd established in 1998.
I'd studied marial arts since 1974 and, over the course of 34 years, earned a 4th degree black belt in Goju-ryu Karate. But I'd also, with my husband, team-taught women's self-defense based on the well-known "Model Mugging" system.

Since I'd first been able to put words to paper, I'd aspired to be a writer. So, here I am.
