Abuse of Privilege

About the Book

A rainy night’s telephone call leads J.C. Ducheck to believe that he will finally learn who shot and tried to kill him three years ago. The caller is Jason Saxberg, the man who accidentally interrupted the attempt on J.C.’s life. Saxberg says his own life is now jeopardized because he has just discovered the shooter’s identity. J.C. takes his whimsical but loyal friend, Wally Gustavson, along to meet with Saxberg, only to find him dead. They chase the killer, who narrowly escapes at a railroad crossing, seconds in front of a speeding train. With little evidence and few leads about Saxberg’s case, the police turn their attention to the murder of a prominent minister, prompting J.C. and Wally to investigate Saxberg’s murder on their own. Their inexperience at crime solving is further complicated because they have to keep Detective Paul Andrews, Wally’s nephew, from knowing what they’re up to. After a series of humorous attempts to interview and surveil suspects, Paul joins J.C. and Wally as their endeavor becomes increasingly more dangerous. To everyone’s surprise, a connection between J.C.’s shooting and the other murders unfolds.

About the Author

[these are blurbs to go in the place of a bio] Even while he has us bouncing over the rutted back roads of southwestern PA, with two of the most likeable blue collar characters in fiction today, Mr Anderson keep all the balls in the air. This is a complex, yet fast paced, tale of murder and betrayal. The stunning ending is skillfully pulled together, but leaves the reader wishing he had time for one more Iron City draught in Duchek's Bar. Ed Dee author of The Con Man's Daughter. "A great first effort from an author who will certainly be heard from again. At taut, gripping tale with elements of wry humor which delves into a small town's hidden secrets and lies."
