Robert Banes is no super-action hero. He's just a father, a man like any other man--that is, at least, until the evil and greed of people with little regard for the rights of others with whom they share the planet violently torture and murder his son. The police were more interested in labeling Robby a gang member involved with drugs and violence than in searching for the people responsible for his demise. Armed with only a page of names and figures torn from a ledger, a ziplock bag of illegal drugs, he sets out to gather information that will clear his son's name and hopefully convince police of a criminal element they say does not exist in their town. His clumsy poking about and asking questions around the docks makes someone nervous enough to put a stop to it. Even after being found on the docks, the back of his head bashed in, the police still refuse to take him seriously. He is, after all, just another distraught, grieving father who finds himself a victim of a crime. These frustrating events conspire to transform the usually mild-mannered widower into an instrument of bitterness and rage. From this moment on, his only reason for living is to locate and punish the people who have destroyed his world. Unfortunately for Banes, the organization he takes on is more powerful and just as determined. Before he knows what hit him, the only two people left for him to love in this world are targeted. His girlfriend is molested and threatened, and a street kid named Billy who'd helped him at the dock has been kidnapped. This leaves Banes with only one option: hit back even harder.

Inside Out

By: Ricky D. Douglas

They thought they'd conquered him, thought they'd put him out of commission, thought they were rid of him forever. Him, the most diabolical criminal mind the world has ever known. Him, the serial killer who made all those before him look like choirboys. Well, they were wrong. All of them. Far from being done, he'd discovered a challenge nearly as exciting as was his hobby withering the souls of men. Randolph Dorfman couldn't remember a time when he hadn't wanted to be a FBI Agent. Not a badge toting, gun wielding street agent either. He could have signed up for any number of law enforcement possibilities for that. No, he wanted a position which allowed him to study the thoughts and actions of the criminal mind putting him in a position to out think and out maneuver future actions. Never had he considered that such a position would land him in a deadly game of cat and mouse, pitting him thought for thought with possibly thy most diabolical serial killer the world has ever known. But it had, with serious consequences to his marriage, his freedom, his friends, and his very life. If he is to survive, theirs is a contest he can't afford to lose.

Room Without a View

By: Ricky Douglas

Learning that he is sterile and has been for some time was devastating enough to Ty Jaymes. The crushing blow, however, was in the knowledge that if the doctors were correct, not only had his wife lied and been unfaithful but also that the son he'd raised from birth was not the fruit of his loins. This, added to the betrayal of his mother, who at best tolerated him as a child and, at worse, disdained the thought that he was his father's son, was more than he could stand. When a night of drinking ends in the vicious sexual assault of a woman in the bar's parking lot, Ty finds himself facing charges that make his family troubles seem trivial by comparison. Prison was not an easy adjustment for Ty. Trouble above that of the average inmate dogged him at every turn. A confrontation with another offender leaves him permanently blind, further destroying what had once been an all but perfect life. To survive in mind, body, and soul, Ty will have to change the way he thinks, the way he feels, the way he acts. And with the love of a good woman, he does just that. Released from prison and the owner of the most unique restaurant in Houston, again, he finds himself at the pinnacle of life, his world all but perfect. When the horrors of the past begin to haunt his future, his world is crushed anew. No way could this be happening to him again. No way. But it is.

Fleeing Mississippi

By: Ricky Douglas

It is 1949. Harry “the Hammer” Higgins’s first mistake was winning a fight he’d been paid to lose. His second mistake was that the man he’d beaten was the reigning heavyweight champion of the world. Framed for the champ’s death, he is forced out of boxing. Now he earns his living fighting in barns and alleys of small backwater towns. Although the standard pay was about fifty dollars, the biggest share of his profits came from the side bets common at such events. Whether he was supposed to win or lose made no difference to Higgins. He wagered accordingly. After accepting money to throw such a match, he was forced to change the outcome when winning turned out not to be enough for his opponent. The man accepted a baseball bat from someone in the crowd with the intention of using it on Higgins as he lay prone on the mat, pretending to be too whipped to continue. As before, winning a fight he’d agreed to lose infuriated those in the know who’d wagered heavily against him. And like before, these men wanted revenge for their losses. For Harry, it was time to get out of Mississippi. While traveling by freight train back to his home and family in Saint Louis, he encounters a kid nearly as desperate to get out of Mississippi as he was. Despite the fact that a black man traveling with a white kid could get him hanged, the two become travel mates. The journey soon proves to be more adventurous than either traveler is prepared for. And soon, each finds they are dependent on the other for their very survival.
