Inside the FBI
An impressive dossier of red-hot cases from the files of the FBI and other independent sources compiled by an author who knows how to pick 'em―an IRS agent ventures into a second career as a devious kidnapper, a Bible quoting writer wannabe decides to hijack a 747, a musician and piano teacher moonlights as a serial killer, or, how about this one, the P.F.F., Inc. -- the Police-FBI-Fencing, Incognito -- a cooperative effort of four law enforcement agencies who pose as Mafioso in an illicit purchasing establishment that collars crooks and becomes astonishingly successful.

Life Support
In 1945, during the bombing of Dresden, nine-year-old Nemamiah Heinrich suffered burns and a concussion. After awakening from a coma, Nemamiah discovered he possessed telepathic powers that enabled him to make people do his bidding. Two years later, Nemamiah and his father emigrated from East Germany to the United States, making their home in Asheville, North Carolina. Here, they flourished and Nemamiah became a geriatric physician. The doctor witnesses the inhumane treatment and unnecessary deaths of nursing home patients, and he vows to reform these institutions. He calls on his fortune and telepathic powers to recruit nursing home residents as assassins, confound the FBI, terrify eldercare legislators and industry officials, and shut down the federal government. A masterful blend of suspenseful fantasy and humor, Life Support narrates a captivating and fast-paced story that reveals and calls attention to the startling maltreatment of residents of many nursing homes.
