Book Excerpt
The Byrd Files…Case #1: CARRION
June 7, 2058
“For forty years, death was my daily bread. As a patrol officer, a detective, a private investigator, and a consultant, I worked every type of murder scene, and witnessed the most brutal crimes, often amid hostility, backlash, and condemnation. Along the way, I tried to keep my soul intact. Don’t know if I succeeded, but this is how it all began.”
My partner finished reading the introduction and removed his glasses. “Do you really want to tell our story?”
I touched his cheek. “I have to.”
“It reads like fiction.”
“But you and I know the truth, love, and that’s all that matters.”
