Cruncher and the Ghost

About the Book

What do you get when you combine an overactive imagination with a desire to be a tough-guy private eye? Normally you’d just get a typical teenage boy. Now, what do you get when you throw in the ability to see ghosts? That’s correct—you get a scared teenage boy. Thus you have Joe Cruncher, and he’s extremely serious about becoming a private investigator. He’s even managed to convince himself that his ability to get into ridiculous situations shows he’s cut out for this line of work. All Cruncher needs is a good caper, and he can prove he’s a great detective. Fortunately, a ghost recently brought a job his way. From this point on, Joe Cruncher, Private Eye, is on the loose. Can Cruncher solve this case? It’s entirely possible. The real question is, can Cruncher solve this case without destroying the world around him? Silly question! Of course not!

About the Author

Robert Bruce O’Connor is a retired master sergeant from the US Air Force. His career was spent primarily in the rotorhead world of Jolly Green Rescue and Special Operations. He entered service as a mechanic on Sikorsky helicopters but was also a flying crew chief on the MH-53 Pave Low–type choppers. Although he survived a few crash incidents, he was, for the most part, merely an observer as the folks inside the helicopters with him did the really interesting stuff. He has traveled a good many places, but nowadays prefers to spend time at home, pursuing the hobbies he had to put aside while in the military. He enjoys building model kits and collecting Lionel Trains. He also enjoys writing, so expect to see further adventures showing up periodically.
