BANG STICK: A Jake Smith Mystery Book 1

It is New Year's Eve in nineteen sixty-nine and Southern California's normally placid climate is

experiencing a bitter winter cold snap. It is certainly not the weather for murder.

The strange unknown weapon constitutes the perfect crime. Bodies are stacking up faster than

chips in a winning hand of high stakes poker. The only thing piling up faster is the

ever growing list of suspects. Incompetent San Diego Police Detective Jake

Smith is in charge of the investigation. His life is spiraling out of control both professionally and

personally. The obnoxious detective's attitude certainly is not benefitting either areas of his

tenuous existence. He is either ending up the squad room hero or miscreant.
