Inhaltsangabe

Set in the mid 70’s, there are no cell phones, desktop or laptop computers, just a few mainframes that are just beginning to replace written records. Most of the story takes place in Chicago, and our hero is a Chicago boy of Polish descent. His name is Richard Dzik. To help you along, the name is not pronounced in English like it is spelled. The closest I can come to describing the pronunciation is to tell you to pronounce it “G”, as the letter is pronounced, and “eek” as in seek. He’s a private detective at the start of the story, but life throws him a few curves and he ends up in the middle of something he never expected. Dick’s partner is a dog named Percy. As police dogs go, he is nothing like you would expect either. Together they make a daunting pair and manage to turn both sides of the law in Chicago against them. The street gangs want them dead and the cops won’t protect them. Between Dick’s smart mouth and Percy’s personality, I hope this one makes you smile.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Born in Chicago in 1947 I grew up with Hopalong Cassidy, Gene Autry, Roy Rogers, and of course John Wayne. They complicated my life immensely. Mostly because I believe the stuff they taught. I tried to emulate them doing what was right and speaking the truth as I saw it no matter the consequences. You can only imagine the trouble that got me into. I can only conclude they had better writers than I had. I went on to serve in the United States Air Force, get married, father two children and make a carrier in Purchasing and New Product development for Brownells Inc. and Battenfield Technologies. Having attended Gunsmithing summer courses and working in the firearms industry for over 25 years I learned a great deal about the subject. My writing career started with magazine articles dealing with firearms restoration and repair and have appeared in several national magazines including American Gunsmith, Shotgun News and Shooting Times, . I've always been a storyteller so, I have tried to combined my love of history and firearms knowledge into stories of my own featuring characters trying to live normal lives, but caught up situations beyond their control. Today I live in retirement in Missouri with Cecile my wife of 47 years and our dog Amber. I consider myself blessed with two grown children and four grandchildren.
