Inhaltsangabe

This book includes three short stories based on characters in the authors’ debut novel "MURDER IN TWOS AND THREES", which they self-published in 2012. The first two stories were previously self-published, and the third story is brand-new. "SILENT NIGHT MURDER NIGHT" is a tale of kidnapping and revenge. A dry-cleaning store owner, Billy Lawrence, is living under witness protection after exposing the mob family he had unknowingly worked for, sending all of that family to jail. The leader of that family finds Billy and threatens to kill both him and his employee, Fred. The secret federal Task Force Division gets word of the event at the dry-cleaning store and sends its field team leader, "Spy", to save Billy and Fred if he can get there in time. "REEL TO REAL MURDER" follows Task Force Division agent "Proteus" during her civilian job as a Hollywood makeup artist supreme, where one of the actors was killed on the set as the cast and crew were arriving for another filming day. After the police does its investigation, "Proteus" takes over and uses her advanced Task Force technology to follow the killer’s trail. "RUSHMORE TO JUDGEMENT" is a brand-new tale which features a prior agent code-named "Spy" and current team member "Seeker" in an adventure that takes place prior to "MURDER IN TWOS AND THREES", where they are assigned to stop the destruction of Mount Rushmore by a small group of terrorists. They succeed, but after this mission decide that they should leave special messages to their loved ones in case they are ever killed on assignment. The story then advances to after the events of "MURDER IN TWOS AND THREES" for a special Christmas message to a fellow agent, and another special Christmas event for "Seeker". The story then leaves off on a cliffhanger that is continued in the next, and already-published, Task Force novella, "TRAIL OF THE TALON".

After 23 years in management, Jack entered retirement.From 1993 to 2016, Jack also appeared as Santa Claus for Beaufort, SC, and the surrounding areas of upper Beaufort County.
