The Innocent Project

David Wiyrick

Publisher: BooxAi

Summary

John Adams was a single 30 year old man and well respected in the small town of Wheatland in Central Washington. His handsome features made him a magnet for the women in the community, but it all ended when one cold December morning he was shot and killed in his front yard.
Marianne Shutt was a current girlfriend of John Adams and told the investigators the only person she could think of that might have committed the murder was her ex-boyfriend Dustin Silver.
The wheels of the police investigation began turning to gather evidence that would support their suspicion that Dustin Silver was the perpetrator.
An early arrest was made on Dustin Silver and he was charged with First Degree Murder and the police reported to the local news media that Silver had the means, opportunity and motive to commit the crime.
In comes experienced Seattle Attorneys Jackie Skelton, Mark Scalia and Colin Thurgood to defend Dustin Silver.
Private Investigators David Anson and Monty Victor joined the Defense Team.
The Private Investigators soon developed information that two local well known criminals, Ryan Bates and Juan Garcia were the actual killers. Their crime spree continued after the death of John Adams and exploded into violence that killed gang members and drained local law enforcement resources to control the spiraling violence.
Detectives David Anson and Monty Victor went into the underbelly of the drug and criminal scene to locate witnesses that would not speak to the police and gathered evidence to exonerate Dustin Silver.
Much suspense and a page turner to the end.

The Ambassador

Brian C. Baker

A disgraced politician relegated to an ambassadorial post in a third world nation rediscovers the principles that began his career and stands off a tyrant's besieging army to protect the refugees that sought shelter within embassy walls.
The Ambassador is an exploration of the nature of good and evil and a deeply moving story about the power of redemption.
The little girl was gutshot. Her father held her outside the gate. He begged as junta soldiers closed in and rounds CRACKED past and Marines shouted. He begged as she bled.
All the while, her eyes were on me.
What would you do?
Jackson Ford’s a disgraced former governor who recognizes a second chance when the president’s chief of staff dangles it.
The president needs an ambassador in a third-world nation. Someone to help local tyrants stamp out insurrection while keeping privation and violence out of the election-year news. Jackson Ford is a tough idealist, but, as a result of his fall from political grace, this administration makes it clear that his qualification is best summed in one word . . .
Obedience.
When a rebel leader shows up outside the embassy gates with a wounded child in his arms and soldiers closing in, Ford can watch the girl bleed out or invoke the wrath of dictators and the president.
Ford’s decision to provide sanctuary puts the embassy under siege.
Ford and the US Marines are outmanned, outgunned, and outmaneuvered by an army outside their walls, even as they’re betrayed by enemies within. Ford doesn’t know if they’re defending the Alamo or Bastogne, but he does know they will not betray the ideals that should stir in the heart of anyone who sees the American flag aloft and under fire.

Everly Dupree is neck-deep in trying to solve Davina Benet's murder when self-proclaimed paranormal investigator Delilah Cannon rolls into Mooselick River, determined to crack the case first. 
While Everly believes the killer is connected to one of Davina's missing persons cases, Delilah insists the murderer is a local. And as usual, Davina's ghost is being spectacularly unhelpful about the whole thing. 
Then Delilah turns up dead before she's even had time to unpack her suitcase, leaving Everly with a chilling realization—maybe the irritating investigator had been right all along. 
With two ghosts now haunting her and Thanksgiving plans crumbling faster than day-old cornbread, Everly races to connect the dots. The evidence points to one killer for both victims, but the list of suspects grows longer by the minute. 
As news of Everly's ghostly abilities spreads through town like wildfire, she finds herself in the spotlight she's always dreaded. Now she must solve this double homicide before her reputation—or worse, her life—becomes the next casualty. 
In a town this small, everyone's a suspect. And this time, not even the dead are telling the truth.
