Alan Garrett comes home to California after a twenty-year career as an Air Force Special Investigator. He sets up shop in Manhattan Beach as a newly-licensed Private Eye. He receives an invitation, and decides to attend his high school twenty-year reunion -- even though he remembers almost none of his fellow graduates. "Might be a blast" he thinks -- renew old friendships, have a few laughs, exchange some war stories, might even be good for business, " I'll pass out some business cards . . . drum up some business." . Little does Alan know that this night will materialize into his first major case. He has stumbled upon an evil which has grown in scope to affect scores, even hundreds of unwitting victims, and left a trail of blood, starting with a pool at his very feet on this reunion evening.

This is an adventure book, the first of several projected as "Read a book to a kid" book -- designed to be read by a parent to his/her child or children. At the end of each chapter is a short list of questions to develop retention skills, and to encourage dialogue between parent and child. This book is about Harry, a four year old. From birth, he's been living in Chicago in a nice Brownstone . . . but, his folks just bought a small farm in Wisconsin, and are about to move out of the city. Harry is all excited! The most exciting thing: he's promised a puppy! Harry's parents teach him valuable lessons in social interaction, proper behavior, and a spiritual foundation. His parents are teaching him well, even calling him out publically (but kindly) when foolishness comes out of his mouth. In his Chicago Brownstone, Harry had but one young friend; here on the farm he has already made friends with four or five neighbor children, and there will be more. Sharing responsiblities is necessary in a rural atmosphere. As the family farm broadens it's scope of industry, Harry finds farmlife comes with chores, sometimes unpleasant -- like rising before the sun comes up. But he looks forward to each day with a willing attitude.
