What was real and what was fantasy?

When Frank and Dora Parker, in their Boston Whaler, are fly-fishing for trout one day in their hometown of Twin Valley, Oregon, ghostly fog begins to roll down from the mountains. With it comes a haunting scenario.

On the lakeshore, a mysterious woman emerges from the forest holding a large knife in her hand. Then a man steps out of the woods dragging, what to Frank Parker appears to be a dead body. However, only he observes this. His wife claims she doesn’t see anything except fog and a desolate shoreline. How could that be? How could Frank Parker be witnessing a gruesome murder taking place and his wife, who was there in the boat with him, not see anything?

Former NYPD forensics expert Celia Strong thought she’d left the world of crime behind when she opened an ice cream shop in idyllic Blue Lake Village in the Adirondack Mountains…

But when a wealthy banker is murdered on a summer tour bus, Celia and her daughter must team up with locals to help the inexperienced new sheriff solve the crime!

Summertime in Blue Lake Village.

Celia Strong, a former NYPD forensics expert, arrives with her teenage daughter Katie to start a new life as the owner of Ye Olde Ice Cream Shoppe.

As Celia settles in, she bonds with the other local business owners on ‘the block’ — eccentrics Helen and Henry from the antiques store, the unflappable Lorna at the history museum, and good-natured Cal at the country diner.

But maybe Blue Lake isn’t as peaceful as it seems.

It’s just a typical summer Friday when a tourist bus pulls up with seven passengers on board, and before long one of them ends up dead on the bus with a knife in his neck.

The six remaining passengers each hide a secret. Is one of them the killer? With a new and inexperienced acting sheriff on duty, it’s up to Celia — with the help of the rest of ‘the block’ — to solve the case.

by Doyle Glass

Winner of the 2023 PenCraft Book of the Year Award for Best Nonfiction

2024 Amazon Bestseller- History
2024 Amazon #1 Bestseller- Vietnam War History

“I served in Vietnam and reading Swift Sword is as close as you can get to reliving the terror of personal combat without actually being there.”
– Larry D., Vietnam Veteran

Monday, September 4, 1967…

Eyes peeled and moving quietly, Lance Corporal Jack Swan led 164 of his fellow US Marines from Mike Company, 3rd Battalion, Fifth Marines over the face of a bare, rocky knoll deep in the Que Son Valley of South Vietnam. The men knew every step could be booby-trapped and the enemy might be hiding behind any bush. Carrying unreliable M16 rifles that often malfunctioned, their job was to rescue an isolated company of fellow leathernecks besieged by the Communist North Vietnamese Army.

The sight of a serene, shrub-covered rice paddy greeted the Americans as they crested the knoll. “Too serene,” Swan thought as a bush quivered in the corner of his eye. “I think that bush just moved,” he whispered to his squad leader. “If it moves again, shoot it!” The shrub moved, Swan fired, and the bush went down.

Then, all hell broke loose…

A hailstorm of rocket-propelled grenades, thundering mortars, and AK-47 machine-gun fire strafed the exposed men from all directions. The Marines of Mike Company had walked into an ambush laid by over 2,500 well-camouflaged North Vietnamese warriors.

It seemed as if the Angel of Death was swooping down upon the Americans like a swift sword.

Instead of rescuing their fellow comrades, the Marines now faced complete annihilation. Outnumbered, out-gunned, and exposed, there was nowhere to hide. Would any of them survive to see the setting sun?
