Meter of Corruption

Meter of Corruptiuon

Jon-Erik, Joey, Angel, and Tina have been through some severe tough times together, and they’ve made it through to the other side. But just as things are finally calming down and starting to go smoothly for them, chaos reenters their lives, and it threatens to destroy everything they hold dear.

***

Angel rolled out of bed around eight thirty a.m. on a glorious winter Saturday morning. Jon-Erik was still sleeping; most likely still dreaming of the crazy sex they had last night. Even though the couple were now almost five years past the insane events that transpired in Toronto that brought deception, murder and extortion to light as well as being hunted by a psychotic Ninja and vicious  Drug Kingpin from Argentina, they were still just as crazy about each other if not more so.

They finally had recovered sufficiently and got their personal lives back to normal to celebrate their engagement last night by staying in and ordering their favorite thin crust Pizza as well as downing a magnum of expensive Mumms champagne and ravaging each other the whole night.

Jon-Erik and Angel just could not get enough of each other and waited this long until they were both sure their lives were once again on the right track before finally making this commitment to each other.

Pete White, an insurance investigator disappears from the museum where he is researching the treasure. Did he uncover its true value or find it’s a fake?

Lieutenant Detective Philip Samyn wonders why he is assigned to investigate a low priority robbery from a museum. Is his boss trying to push him to retire?

In the stillness of the night the tree branches were full of noise from birds, squirrels and insects. Then all went silent. A slight jerk of Lee's head angled off to one side, signaled that he should leave. His nose still stung from the thick gun smoke hanging in the air.

When Bert Grayson is murdered, it sets off a chain of events to apprehend a relentless killer who would not be stopped.
Don't trust anyone, Lee and Miranda were warned!

But, they risked their own lives in this heart stopping race against time.

Lillian Grace, a woman with her own secrets, had loved Bert.

Death by Revenge

The residents in a sleepy English market town are shocked at the discovery of a decomposing body wrapped in black plastic, found in a nearby cave. Is it one of their own?

Once forensics identify the corpse, DI Helen Cooke who is already investigating the recent disappearance of three local women can start piecing together some connections between the women.

But what is that connection, and will it help to reveal the killer?

One man stands out in DI Cooke’s mind as the murderer, but without any evidence against him, she is powerless to make an arrest.

Walk A(New) Way

What is it like to be born fully awake while most of the world lies fast asleep? To grow up in a world where you know people's thoughts and true intentions, while what comes out of their mouths is the complete opposite?

Maddening? Yes. A bit horrifying? Absolutely.

Nalini McNab knows firsthand what it's like.

In her book, Walk A New Way, she takes us down her path less travelled, shows us first hand what it's like and how she navigated two very different worlds. But what emerged was a new path, a new way to walk. And we're all invited to come along. Not to walk her path, but to carve out our own distinct way of being in this world, while not being of it.

MAD, BITTER, ANGRY, SAVED, HURT, & RESTORED

The freedom that the Lord offers is for those who are lost, mad, bitter, angry, and hurt.

The Word of God is powerful and has the capability of restoring and mending relationships. For anyone who has been molested, raped, hurt, persecuted, and void of hope, I encourage you to read this book. Hear and allow God to minister to you.  He wants to help you to become the person that he died for you to be. Don’t live in bondage.

Dethroned – The Dark Side of Money II

D. E. Rogers

ebook2-1536x2048-1

 

Chapter One

 

Rain came down on Jaymee’s head like water pouring from Niagara Falls. On her knees and soaking wet, she wasn’t fazed by it as she stared at the headstone that read ‘Alexis Dean’. The heavy rain made it hard to see the tears racing down her face. She leaned forward and embraced the headstone like it was a person. The graveyard was in San Juan, Puerto Rico at the famous Santa Maria Magdalena de Pazzis cemetery.

It was Alexis’ wish to be buried there next to her mother and father. It was also on the shore of the Atlantic Ocean which made it a peaceful resting place. But knowing that Alexis was murdered, Jaymee found no peace. Her heart was filled with hateful revenge. The pain she wore on her face could be seen from far away. Jaymee was astounded as she thought about all of the stolen moments, the times she never got to spend with Alexis.

Alexis was her birth mother who had given her up to Gloria Dean to be raised as her own. She had recently come back into Jaymee’s life and given her the reins to the Gloria Dean Company by way of backend dealings, deception, and murder. None of that mattered to Jaymee; she was just fascinated with Alexis being her mother because of her poor relationship with Gloria and Jasmine, who was raised as her older sister.

Knowing that Gloria would fight until the end to get her company back, Jaymee had looked forward to her and Alexis destroying Gloria together. With Alexis now gone, Jaymee didn’t know exactly how she would achieve that goal; but with every bone in her body she was willing to die trying.

Prologue

Eighty.

That was how many paces it took to patrol each side of the building. Two years of sentry duty meant he had walked the circuit thousands of times. There was a lot of time to think while working and, given his nature, that usually meant worrying about one thing or another. But even when his mind was otherwise occupied, he still subconsciously counted off the steps.

He went over his checklist of current troubles. Maria had been unwell lately but she refused to visit the doctor, saying it was a waste of money. His eldest boy had been staying out later and later and he suspected his son was falling into bad company. More mundanely, as was usually the case, he was struggling financially. The younger children badly needed some new clothes and, once again, there was a problem with the starter motor on his truck.

Seventy-eight, seventy-nine, eighty. Turn the corner.

Roberto appreciated what he had. From his early days, scrabbling to make a living in the nearby Mexican border town of Conchillo, to the last couple of years working for El cártel de Zaragosa, there had been many reminders of how hard life could be. Some of the things he had seen were better forgotten. Sentry duty might be tedious but it provided for him and his family.

His wife did not like him working for the cartel. She had reluctantly agreed only after he had pledged to limit his participation to guarding the compound outside town. The truth, however, was that all of them sometimes had to participate in the punishment of those who crossed the cartel. He hated the deception, but who could afford to pass up the chance of a steady wage?

Fifteen, sixteen, seventeen.

Patrol was the worst part of the night shift. At least if you were inside, you had company and even the chance to catch up on some sleep. Outside, you spent most of the time alone, pacing your circuit. He didn’t enjoy the violence; he never strutted around as some of the younger men did, infused with the sense of power that came with their brutality. Where he did find common ground with them was on the pointlessness of this monotonous work.

Two pairs of men were assigned to each four-hour shift. One pair patrolled the perimeter fence, while the other took care of the building. The extensive security didn’t take into account the absence of any threat to the cartel: the dual strategy of intimidation and corruption had worked. Night after night, all this wasted effort.

Twenty-eight, twenty-nine, thirty.
