Night Road

a Novel of Suspense
“Like the man said, I was born ready.” Duncan said, “I don’t know, the thought of you in diapers and carrying a pistol just freaks me out.” You threatened my family. That’s the beginning and the end. The alpha and omega. I’m sure you understand. My family comes first, last, and forever. After you made threats like that, I can’t risk having you out there, no matter how many promises you make.” “Jefferson said ‘The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.’” A flash of memory, of dear old famous Diana Dean of Customs. She had single-handily prevented disaster. Belt and suspenders. I wanted to make sure the outcome tonight was in my favor. “The time between VJ Day and the invasion of South Korea. Our armed forces became a hollow shell. You had reservists and occupation troops from Japan, trying to fight off an invading army with surplus gear from World War II. For the first few months they got slaughtered.”
