Detective Davis
Detective Davis The case of the Missing Keys Detective Davis hangs up the phone. A fire flashes across the man's face and his back straightens. Detective Davis; a private detective with the most diverse reviews and the most outstanding results. The truth behind Detective Davis is simple. Three years ago, the then 23-year-old detective made headlines for his first case. Solving the mystery of the cartel evidence quickly made Detective Davis incredibly famous. Talk about an introduction, Detective Davis proves smarter than the police, the government, and CIA personnel. A detective who specialized in locating evidence for the prestigious John F. Barrett quickly was elevated to best in the business. At 23 Detective Davis working under John F. Barrett, took a misplaced block of wood, and was able to trace this mysterious object to its original location. He made his way to headquarters of the largest and most devious criminal cartel. All the police, government, and CIA personnel working on the case were put to shame by Detective Davis. Solving this case made him so popular that he had to immediately become a recluse to continue working on his career. John F. Barrett being responsible for Detective Davis’s clearance to solve the cartel mystery went ahead and became a handler or assistant to the young detective. Together they could work in anonymity to help the world solve important cases and mysteries. It has been three years since that case and the name Detective Davis has become a whisper. Many articles and information had been released (true believers suspect by John F. Barrett himself) selling Detective Davis to the public as a myth or legend loosely based on the exaggerated accomplishments of detective John Barrett. To most folks when they hear of Detective Davis, they think of him like Santa Clause, a make-believe hero, one you would never see in the flesh.

Searching For The Reason Why
Murderer. Serial killer. Sociopath. There are so many different words for people who take the life of others. For me though, there is so much more behind those words. It is not always about who killed someone but the why behind it all. Why did the preacher's wife Mary Winkler shoot and kill her husband Matt? Why did Casey Anthony kill her two-year-old daughter Caylee? Why did Zach Adams murder nursing student Holly Bobo? Why did Jeffery Dahmer start raping, killing, and eating other men?

Wishes
Mr. Eckert came into the diner each morning at exactly 6:30, sat in the booth closest to the kitchen, and by 6:40 had finished his first cup of coffee and patted Meg on the butt twice. By 6:45 each day, Meg would have told him to knock it off. Some days politely. This Monday morning, she was less than polite.

Just Let Me Die Here (A Serialized Novel) 7
Thankfully, it’s a blizzard-free drive to Banff. Not to say it isn’t somewhat eventful. Snow from an earlier storm has melted and refrozen on the road, leaving several precarious stretches of black ice. The afternoon sun bounces off these patches, causing a blinding glare. I grip the wheel in these spots and tense with each slide of the tires.
