WRONG MAN, WRONG CRIME, WRONG TIME Swifty King was convicted of a crime that he did not commit. In a strange twist it was the best thing that could happen to him. This compelling story traces his life from wide-eyed kid to savvy “fixer.” He struggles between love and hate for the father figure who caused him to go to jail while he gains more from “the man” than Artie Leonardo took from him. Artie Leonardo is a convicted felon, a decorated Veteran of WWII, a legitimate businessman and a father. He loves his son Jake and his daughter Toni Marie, but his son’s attitude and overbearing behavior vex him. Swifty King is the kind of young man he would like his son to be. As he struggles to guide Jake and make up for what he did to Swifty, he learns more about himself. Swifty’s beautiful but disapproving wife Kim also gains from the relationship and ultimately finds her life in the hands of “the man” and his influence. As she faces a life threatening disease it is Artie and his influence that hold out the only hope for her survival. She is ambitious and smart. She loves Swifty, so she is willing to compromise, first to keep her life with him and to build a business career, later in order to save her life. Always lurking in the shadows are the side characters who helped make Swifty and Kim who they become: K.K. Faust, Swifty’s, brilliant best friend who narrates, Nelson Leigh and Connor Grove, his jailhouse mentors, Norm Cellestine, Artie’s partner and Kim’s boss, who rises from nothing to riches, only to be struck down with Alzheimer’s, Gladdie Ames, Kim’s sister and Swifty’s former two-timing girlfriend and many others. Swifty is a complex story of innocence and guilt, love and jealousy, crime and political avarice, friendship and commitment.

Swifty King’s adventures have been detailed in five previous novels. He is the proprietor of Swifty King, Advice (SKA), and along with his partner, retired businessman Kyle Faust, he provides the kind of advice and negotiation that governments and private citizens cannot do on their own. Recently, the two men, along with some special colleagues, put a stop to an international conspiracy to influence minds using all forms of media, including video games. The intent was to inspire creative souls on the edge to work together to upend society as we know it. The evil mind behind this plan was thwarted once, but now he is back. Somehow, he has gained release and has continued his evil plan. Swifty and Kyle are involuntarily sucked into this world again. Swifty is kidnapped, tortured, and reintroduced to an old friend by a sadistic enforcer. The “brain’s” new man really enjoys inflicting pain and indiscriminate murder. All the while, the guys have to deal with the business, which includes bailing out a movie producer and finding an answer to the kidnapping of his wife. It is an almost insurmountable challenge that takes these characters halfway around the world and nearly costs Swifty his life! Along the way, Swifty bonds with a former target, and Kyle finds a new love. It is harrowing, dangerous, and sometimes fun but never dull. Swifty and Conspiracy Control is intense and fast. Enjoy it!

Kit Andrews, owner of Rocky Mountain Searchers, receives a request from a woman in Santa Fe, New Mexico, to locate her missing son. Her son, a twenty-seven-year-old ex-Marine, disappeared two years before after being discharged from the Marine Corps at the conclusion of two tours of duty in Iraq as a scout sniper. The woman requires Kit to travel from Kemmerer, Wyoming, to Santa Fe to meet with her personally. When Kit arrives in New Mexico, he receives a shocking surprise about the identity of the woman and her son. Because the last sighting of the son was in Wyoming, Kit has been hired as a local expert. In addition, the other firms the woman had hired found no trace of her son in two years of searching. Kits partner, Swifty Olson, is sidelined with a broken foot, so Kit enlists his father to assist him in the search. Kit narrows his search to two possible locations in Wyoming that are inaccessible in winter. He and his father search and eliminate one area and concentrate on the Big Horn Mountains above Sheridan, Wyoming. They find some clues and decide to add some help. Kits father enlists the help of old friends from his days in the army, and they discover they are not the only ones searching for the womans son. It seems the ex-Marine sniper was so good at his job that Islamic fanatics have put a price on his head and sent a hit squad to the United States to kill him. Now, its a race to try to find the son before the terrorists and their hired thugs do.
