K. A. Lugo will have you rooting for Jack as he is forced to remember the past that changed everything. Shocking at times, gruesome as the body count rises. K.A. cleverly leads the reader down the path of Jack’s investigation, giving away nothing until ready to do so. A thoroughly engaging, edge of your seat thriller that rates high up there with the likes of Lee Child, James Patterson, Tess Gerritson, Sandra Brown, Karen Rose, John Grisham etc; you can see where I am going with this. First class writing, I look forward to reading many more books by K. A. Lugo in what I hope is a not to distant future</i>.</p><p style="text-align: center;">- G.

The first being I've had a few readers ask me why Jack has left his family home a crime scene. He moved out the night he came home and found his daughter and the family dog had been murdered, and his wife missing. When asked why I added this element to the storyline, I simply say, "What if investigators missed something?" "That's hardly likely to happen," is the usual reply.</span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br />Well, Jack isn't the only one to have closed the door to preserve an active crime scene. The house where the above woman had been murdered was treated exactly the same, only it had been closed for ten years. It was left nearly exactly as it had been found, except for the victim's body being removed and the evidence collected by the CSIs.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Why? The same reason as Jack's. What if investigators missed something? Until a case is solved and the assailant(s) brought to justice, having a 'live' crime scene left to go back to can take those investigators right back to the day the murder happened. Perhaps a new investigator will see something with fresh eyes or a virgin perspective.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh2aDuauhGoVOmFTae2_0B-LzDwavHLrMoiFT5dvspDOJd8aM_XICIClW02N78A6asMfgPESafk_p_V9wDiGQeePlSOhYIN2z6tcobGxnVDiJ2CsZl6NXWMz0qtHdQ_gu544Xbu9CMi3k/" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a></div><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">This is part of why Jack left his family home a crime scene. No one's perfect. What had investigators missed? And what did HE miss simply because he was too familiar with his own home? Jack's counting on it to find his wife, and those who killed his daughter and her dog.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The other reason I bring his up as on the last post I talked about Lee Lofland and his annual <a href="https://writerspoliceacademy.com" target="_blank">Writers' Police Academy Murder Con</a>, which has gone virtual this year.</span></p><p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img alt="" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh2aDuauhGoVOmFTae2_0B-LzDwavHLrMoiFT5dvspDOJd8aM_XICIClW02N78A6asMfgPESafk_p_V9wDiGQeePlSOhYIN2z6tcobGxnVDiJ2CsZl6NXWMz0qtHdQ_gu544Xbu9CMi3k/w240-h320/image.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="240" /></span></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i>David Alford, FBI agent</i></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-size: large;">What other reason would I bring up the above murder and that the house had been closed up for ten years? Because one of his speakers is <b>FBI agent, David Alford</b>, who was an investigating office in that case. He'll be talking about the investigation, along with showing real crime scene photos, and tell attendees who committed this horrible crime during a piece called <b>Case Study of the FBI</b><i>—</i>#4 of the above link.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">During this murder con, David will also be discussing blood in a segment called <b>“Spatter” or “Splatter?” Have You Written it Right, or Wrong </b>That will definitely be interesting too!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">This year's murder con is featuring several speakers, including the Guest of Honor, Andrew Child, brother of Lee Child who, already an established writer, has now donned his brother's crown to carry on the Jack Reacher series.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Registration to attend the murder con <b>opens on Sunday the 14th of March</b>.

There, he shares some amazing tips and facts from his experience as a police investigator. Retired now, Lee is helps writers add authenticity to their writing. Case in point...</span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">In this week's installment, <a href="https://leelofland.com/dont-pet-the-peeve-8-facts-about-police-detectives-youre-probably-not-getting-right" target="_blank">Don’t Pet The Peeve: 8 Facts About Police Detectives You’re Probably Not Getting Right</a>, he explores things in fiction writing that are some of his pet peeves. Check it out.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I try very hard not to cross into Stereotypeland or bow to Hollywoodland programs that make their money on the backs of way too much creative license. A little goes a long way, as the saying goes. I don't want my books to be predictable. At the same time, I want them to be believable because the situations are true-to-life...even if they ride really close to the rails.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">In my case, my bad for giving Jack a #4 family crisis. But this is what drives him. However, that's where the stereotype ends. Jack has not become a drunk or a drug abuser as a way to cope. He stays focused in his investigations to find the truth...for his clients and for himself. It doesn't mean the loss of his family doesn't haunt him, because it surely does.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">#6 gets a little leeway because Jack's former boss wants him back on the job, and he cuts Jack a little slack because he's uncovered some seriously bad people in the city when clues ran dry for department investigators.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Even with crossing the line into two areas for Jack, the reasons are not common and I hope not predictable. I love to throw in curveballs to keep readers thinking. And of course reading.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">If you've read the Jack Slaughter Thriller series, I'd love to hear from you. What did you think? Is Jack something new to the game, or is he pitching with used balls? Let me know?</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">And if you're a writer, check out Lee's book in the Howdunit series: <b><a href="https://amzn.to/2OdFjDz" target="_blank">Police Procedure and Investigation: A Guide for Writers</a></b>. It comes as an <a href="https://amzn.to/308hcJ9" target="_blank">ebook</a> or in <a href="https://amzn.to/30eUWx7" target="_blank">paperback</a>. And get in on his <a href="https://leelofland.com/the-graveyard-shift-blog" target="_blank">newsletters</a>. You'll find tips like these, as well as information for his <a href="https://leelofland.com/classes" target="_blank"><b>Writer's Police Academy</b></a> conferences. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Thanks for your support, and if you'd like to get in touch with me, just use the little mailer on the right side of your screen.

I really felt for Jack as memories of past Christmases with his wife and daughter swamped him. Long walks with the only purpose to “get away” from those thoughts lead him to a situation the book’s title no doubt came from. I now know a bit more about Jack but also still want more so do hope there will be a book three in the future.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">~ Cathy Geha, 5 stars</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">THANK YOU, Cathy!
