Two of the Abernathy family had careers as lawmen. One of them, a cowboy from Kansas growing up in the days of Wild Bill Hickok learned the fast draw and started out as a hired gun but became a sheriff and landowner in New Mexico. The second Abernathy lived in modern times and grew up in Canada where he became a detective on the West Vancouver police department and received the famed Hercule Poirot trophy. Inspector Perry Abernathy was elevated to the position of Chief Constable in Nanaimo, a city on Vancouver Island. Both Abernathys, Red the sheriff and Perry the policeman exhibit the traditional family trait, namely a passion for the opposite sex and a love for vodka. The patriarch of the Canadian branch, the Reverend Abernathy sits in heaven and watches over his flock, making the occasional visit to help where he can. This is the fourth book on the Abernathys. They were very prolific and who knows when the stories will end.

Ernest Abernathy is a writer who wanders in and about historic haunted mansions in the Maritimes with a partner who has gifted capabilities of her own. The pair meet ghosts of the past who have been earthbound and seek release to join their comrades in either Heaven or Hell depending on their deeds while on earth. The second story is about another Abernathy, also from the eastern part of Canada. His name is Ahab and like the sailor of old he is a sea captain. His ship the Mary Jane and his crew of divers are after sunken treasure and dive on relics that sank back when Spain was taking gold and silver from the Americas.

Politics has always held a special place in the goals of many of the Abernathy tribe. This volume describes three of them. One is a paleontologist, one is a small town sheriff and the third is a lawyer. All of these men live and operate in Canada. One even becomes Prime Minister. The Internet is used as a political tool and many of the suggestions in the book make common sense and offer a truly bipartisan approach to many of the problems that face us all, regardless of country. The stories have humor and since all Abernathys are women chasers and drink vodka they may even represent today's politicians.

Religion is a part of all our lives. The Abernathy clan is no exception. It would be destined that at least two of them would respond to the call for worship, and two of them did. The Reverend Malcolm Abernathy followed the faith of the Anglican Church and Father Umberto Abernathy opted for the Roman Catholic Church. These two men spent most of their time in Canada, Malcolm getting into politics for a while and Umberto introduced what he considered a more practical approach to awarding of penances. In both instances the Abernathy genes prevailed and neither one practiced abstinence which was a more serious situation with Umberto than with Malcolm. Their lives and exploits are not to be taken too seriously. They are obviously figments of the imagination of the author, and are meant to be enjoyed or possibly envied.

This book covers the antics of two of them: Vladimir and Enrique Abernathy. One is an assassin employed by a special branch of Scotland Yard and the other is a jewel thief. The incentive behind both men is obviously money. They lust after women like all the clan and have a thirst for Stoli vodka. Vlad and Enrique team up with attractive women as partners and pursue their nefarious activities with the luck of the Irish.
