They killed his friend. Now, he’s out to make amends.
Meet Joe Beck – brutal ex-cop who rights wrongs, reaps riches and deals in vigilante justice in this Kindle crime action, mystery and suspense thriller. A number 1 category bestseller!
Joe Beck is a private eye, but not the typical type. He’s unlicensed. His office is his cell phone. The gun he carries is unregistered, and his methods are outside of the law. He’s not a man to mess with – a brutal ex-cop who roams the United States righting wrongs, reaping riches and serving up his own hard brand of vigilante justice to those who deserve it most.
In Army of One, Joe Beck is in McAllen, Texas, – a city not too far from the US-Mexico border – for the funeral of an old friend who, he heard, took his own life. While in town, he bumps into a beautiful escort named Sapphire, who mistakes him for somebody else. They make plans to spend the night together, holed up in a cheap nearby motel.
But things don’t go as planned.
They’re soon abducted at gun point and bundled into the back of a black SUV by a sinister group of men they’ve never seen before.
Under orders of a man known only as ‘the chairman,’ the men drive them out to a desolate stretch of land in the dark Texan desert where a hand-dug grave, a gut-wrenching discovery, and a harrowing demise awaits.
What do the men want? Why did they abduct them? What horrors will come to light in the dark of the Texan night? And how will Joe Beck react?

Mystery at Glennon Hall (A Glennon Normal School Historical Mystery Book 1)
by R. A. Wallace
Genre: Mystery, Thriller & Suspense
FREE for a limited time
A Glennon Normal School Historical Mystery Book 1
Early September 1918. The Great War. Although the world is at war, Delia Markham is adjusting to her job as a typewriting teacher at the Glennon Normal School in the fall term of 1918. Her new life revolves around teaching future teachers. It isn’t an easy transition from her former assignment as Yeoman (F) in the U. S. Naval Reserve.
When the call was made for women to help in the war effort, Delia was one of the first to sign up for a four-year enlistment using a loophole in the language that allowed women to join the service. That loophole relieved men of the clerical duties that kept them from combat. It offered women equal pay and rank for the same work. Thousands rushed forward to fill that gap. To differentiate them from other yeomen, the (f) designation was used.
After spending years caring for her parents and ultimately losing them both, joining the service in the spring of 1917 was an exciting opportunity. One she relished for the time she put in as the amanuensis to a high-ranking officer. Her life with the admiral and his wife allowed her to grow, learn new skills, and enjoy new experiences until she was sidelined in the summer of 1918 by an incident that meant the abrupt end of her military career. A career that was as exciting as it was fulfilling.
Circumstances and a remaining family connection brought Delia to the Glennon Normal School when other doors were closed to her. She was happy to have the job and her new home with her cousin Hazel, the head chef at the school. But life at the teachers’ training school isn’t quite as exciting as her time in the service. Not until a mystery at Glennon Hall is followed by a murder and Delia finds herself drawn into both.
Suddenly, some of the past excitement found its way back into her life.

Trail of Tears (Native American History)
by Hourly History
Genre: History
FREE for a limited time
In the early 1800s, the Five Civilized Tribes — the Cherokee, Seminole, Chickasaw, Muscogee-Creek, and Choctaw — were living in lands allocated to them by the United States government in present-day Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee. In general, the Native American people lived in peace with the increasing numbers of white settlers coming to these areas, though there were occasional conflicts as settlers took lands that belonged to the tribes.
To many white Americans, the existence of these people in lands that could be used for the expansion of the United States was unacceptable, and many wanted the Native American to be removed and relocated to a new area, west of the Mississippi River which was not then of interest to settlers. In 1830, the administration of President Andrew Jackson signed into law a new piece of legislation, the Indian Removal Act, which gave the government the power to force these tribes to relocate to new lands in Indian Territory in present-day Oklahoma.
The forced relocations that followed have become known as the Trail of Tears. Some were conducted with extreme brutality, and many thousands of Native American people died as a direct result. Once they had been uprooted from their homelands, many tribes found themselves unable to continue with ways of life which they had followed for thousands of years, and the nature and character of Native American culture and society was forever changed.
This is an account of the privations of these forced relocations and the indifference of the U.S. government and the majority of Americans to the suffering they caused to the Native American people. This is the story of the Trail of Tears.
