The Grasshopper’s Shadow

About the Book

This is the story of a man who, because of a tragic experience in his youth, becomes a borderline vigilante. He seeks to obtain justice for anyone who is bullied, stalked, or abused. The offenses usually cannot be proven using normal methods. In these instances, he aids the authorities by obtaining information not readily available to them. His goal is to help people he has chosen through online visits. Mark Percy had been a soldier in the United States Army. He had been trained in the art of combat. As a member of the Special Forces, he had a license to kill. However, Mark was not a murderer. He was just an ordinary man with a desire to protect and serve, especially those who were at the mercy of a devious opponent.
