Albert Einstein said that ‘it is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge’. That was certainly the case with my high school history teacher, who brought history alive and started my fascination in Ancient and Early Modern history. There are countless mysteries that still remain unsolved and I have a real suspicion that we have lost or forgotten more knowledge than we have ever gained.
After a career in business, business support and as a trainer for Dale Carnegie, I did some consulting. It was a client who once said to me that ‘I was a useful man to have around’, based to some degree on my ability with the written word. When retirement loomed his words, my interest in history and a very patient and supportive wife encouraged me to ‘put pen to paper’ and with heart in hand resulted in my first book ‘The Quest for Eternal Life', the first in the ‘Last Librarian’ Series. That was several books ago in a growing portfolio.
Emil Beckman a wounded German soldier, is experiencing the extremes of battle fatigue during the last days of World War II. He's presented with the opportunity to take the identity of another man, a British officer, Lieutenant James Howard. The decision is to change his life in ways that he couldn't imagine.
When the wartime diaries of a deceased Chaplain surface unexpectedly in the hands of a blackmailer revealing Beckman's real identity, Beckman has only one option – murder - which unleashes the suppressed symptoms of a high-functioning sociopath. Several murders later Beckman comes to believe he's invulnerable.
Until Samantha Weller an investigative journalist, starts to unravel the story behind the latest murder and at the same time brings together Beckman's family who he thought had perished in the bombing of Cologne into an accelerating climax of justice, family reunion, new love and a new beginning.
