Mystery Private Eye
Nashville private investigator Jared McKean has a son with
Down's Syndrome, a best friend with AIDS, an ex-wife he
can't seem to fall out of love with, and a weakness for
women in jeopardy - until one frames him for murder. His DNA and fingerprints are found at the murder scene. His
voice is on the victim's answering machine, and the victim
was killed with a bullet from his gun. To make matters
worse, his teen-aged nephew comes out of the closet and runs
away to join a dangerous fringe of the Goth subculture. Now Jared must find a way to clear his name, hold his family
together, and solve a case that could cost him his life.

Re: Racing The Devil
Sad thing. I have never watched Saving Private Ryan. I am an obsessive reader and never seem to watch Tv or go to movies. Pathetic, isn't it? (Vicki Hancock 5:19pm March 2, 2012)
I haven't seen it yet either, I knew how WWII ended. But your character sounds great! (Lisa Elwood 7:03pm March 2, 2012)
I loved the movie Saving Private Ryan, even though I don't watch many movies!! It is one of my favorites. I am particularly drawn to movies about WWII. I think it's because I used to watch them a lot with my Dad when I was a little girl, and I asked a lot of questions. That doesn't mean I always got an answer, because my Dad was in the service under General Patton, but I asked anyway. Because your character was screaming to be let out, I am screaming to turn the pages of your book and be lost in its' pages. I'm sure I'll enjoy the ride. (Peggy Roberson 9:16pm March 2, 2012)
Vicki, I think you'll be glad you watched it. It's a powerful movie. I think if you paired it with Schindler's List, you might have the two most important movies of all time. Or at least of our time. Watching it gave me a new perspective on it--especially the landing at Normandy. I'd seen actual footage, but somehow that didn't capture the horror in the same way. Probably because of the editing at the time.
Thank you, Lisa and Peggy. I hope you love Jared as much as I do. If you read the book, I'd love to hear from you.
Peggy, I can't commend your father's courage and service enough. Without it, we would be living in a very different world--and many of us would not be living at all. (Jaden Terrell 11:50am March 3, 2012)
You do have a strong protagonist as a main character and he seems halfway human with multiple dimensions. (Alyson Widen 1:20pm March 3, 2012)
Your book sounds really good. I also like to watch John Wayne war movies. the Private Ryan movie was good too. (Joy Isley 5:30pm March 3, 2012)
Oh, I LOVE this hero already just from the description.
I am fascinated by the World War II movies, also - my father was in the Navy during WWII and my mom's brother was a Marine wounded on Iwo Jima - they are definitely part of The Greatest Generation. (Felicia Ciaudelli 12:33pm March 5, 2012)
