Going Gone!
by Anita Dickason
GENRE: Political
Suspense/Thriller
Code Name
Trackers: The elite of the elite. FBI agents, each with a secret, an
extraordinary ability that defies reason and logic.
An intricate scheme to kidnap the
children of high-ranking politicians on Capitol Hill gets disrupted when
private investigator Kerry Branson rescues one of the victims.
Teamed with FBI Tracker Ryan Barr,
they discover the plot extends to the Office of the President and—the horrific
plan has drug cartels and terrorist cells lined up to cash in.
Though
they had spoken on the phone, Scott had never met Arthur Larkin. Close to sixty
years of age, he looked ten years younger and was the exception to the rule
presidents aged quickly. At six-foot, one-eighty, with streaks of gray in the
dark hair, he had a commanding presence. He walked around the desk to shake
hands with Scott.
A
door opened, and Director of Homeland Security, Vance Whitaker, walked in.
Whitaker greeted Scott as the President motioned the two Directors to a sofa
and Scott to a chair before settling on the other couch. The fact he was seated
in front of them didn’t escape Scott’s notice. I’m the man in the hot seat.
Perched on the edge of his chair, unable to relax, trepidation over the outcome
of the meeting had his heart racing and nerves tingling.
Larkin
said, “Scott, I’ve received several reports regarding your extraordinary
ability in resolving difficult cases. I’m sure you are aware the carte blanche
given to your new command is unprecedented in the history of the FBI. When
Director Daykin first broached the concept for the Trackers Unit, I must say I
was skeptical, but his articulate arguments convinced me.” The President
stopped to look at Daykin, who smiled and nodded his head in agreement.
Turning
back to Scott, Larkin said, “This current situation is unparalleled. Where do
we stand on the investigation?”
Showtime—would
he still have a job when he walked out the door?
Award
winning author, Anita Dickason, is a retired Dallas Police Officer. Anita
served as a patrol officer, undercover narcotics officer, advanced accident
investigator, and SWAT entry/sniper.
Upon
retirement, she became involved in a research project that dealt with the death
of a witness to the Kennedy assassination. The research led to her first book,
JFK Assassination Eyewitness: Rush to Conspiracy, that details the results of
her reconstruction of the 1966 motor vehicle accident that killed Lee Bowers,
Jr.
The
project jump-started a new career as an author and publisher, and she started a
new business: Mystic Circle Books & Designs, LLC.
As
an author, her fictional works are suspense/thrillers with a touch of
paranormal and romance. Characters with unexpected skills, that extra edge for
overcoming danger and adversity, have always intrigued her. Adding an
infatuation with ancient myths and legends of Native American Indians, and
Scottish and Irish folklore creates the backdrop for her characters.
As
a publisher, her diverse background has proven to be an invaluable asset.
Assisting other authors to publish their works utilizes the gamut of her
experience. Graphics design has become one of her favorite endeavors.
Anita will be awarding a $25 Amazon GC to a randomly
drawn winner via rafflecopter during the tour.
