John Thornton returns home from the war in Iraq, being wounded, suffering post-traumatic stress disorder from his combat experiences and attending the United States Homeland Security School and returns to his job at the Center City, Oklahoma, Police Department as a detective. When a very strange haunting of a local elderly ladies’ home and three suspicious deaths occur in Shaney, Oklahoma, a suburb of Center City, it becomes apparent the current investigation authority of the Center City Police Department cannot solve these cases. John Thornton serves as a liaison between the US Department of Homeland Security and the Center City Police Department and makes a plea to a retired United States senator, Nathaniel Andrews, for help, which brings him, Robbie Jensen (US DHS medical examiner), Sofia Clark (a CIA agent), and Dr. Lisa Wayne (psychiatrist) together to form a specialized US DHS Special Investigations Division into existence to work these cases under the authority of the United States Department of Homeland Security. Although John does not believe in the paranormal, what he experiences firsthand changes his mind. However, even with this group, with the aid of the Oklahoma Paranormal Research Association, the investigations are still very dangerous for all. The tension is high for everyone as the tasks become much more dangerous, both physically and psychologically. The solving of these cases, however, makes the risks all that more important to the US DHS Special Investigations Division team members to save innocent lives.

You know how you go about your day minding your own business and all of a sudden you find yourself regretting something that seemed like a good idea at the time? And by suddenly, I mean a split second decision and not when life throws you a curveball. I’m talking about when you throw yourself a curveball as you jump over a hurdle that’s on fire. With the kind of heat that comes from a 6 foot tall Greek god that has a jawline that could cut you. With eyes so blue that you wouldn’t mind getting lost in that sea. Now I’m rambling and I blame my discombobulated brain for this. As I was saying, you know that strong craving you get when you’re monthly visitor is around? Not that “oh that looks good” kind of craving. I’m talking about the “itch you can’t scratch, need it NOW or I’ll starve” kind of craving. But you don’t eat it because it’s 2 am and where are you going to find a bakery open that late anyway? So then you put off getting it until you feel like you want to claw someone’s eyes out. That’s the curveball I threw at myself with the Greek god I mentioned so protect your eyes. Also, please. Send help.

In the year 1995, the National Police of Barcelona faces a series of accidents and suicides that have the peculiarity of occurring on terraces of buildings where the deceased did not live. These deaths, initially unrelated, give the Homicide Group 3, led by Inspector Bellido and Sub-inspector Mónica, a headache. With the imminent deployment of the Autonomous Police, the August vacation just around the corner, the increasingly precarious financial resources of the National Police, and the accumulation of cases, following the trail of these seemingly random deaths becomes a true torment for the investigators. But the biggest surprise for the police comes when, collecting the data, they discover that all these deaths occur on the same day of the week: Thursday. And between one event and another, there are usually five to six months. In all cases, there is always a witness who claims to have seen the victim in the company of someone they have never been able to recognize.

One Year in King City High School

Book Description
John Holbrook, one of the heroes of this book, once told me that he had mused his way to the conclusion that a school is to a community what the skin is to a body. “You see the rash on your arms and you might think that it’s the skin that’s sick, when actually the disease is somewhere deep inside, and it is only reflected in the skin. Or, conversely, when the skin is silky smooth - soft, and supple, and pleasant to the touch - it’s because the entire inside of the body is healthy.” It has just occurred to me that I have written a book to illustrate what John said. I must confess that at times, in order to better move the story along, two or three real-life persons have been shoved into one, or one person has been split up into two. Chronology has not been always rigorously followed, either, and real lives have been twisted to allow the sap of fiction to better flow to the heart and mind of the reader. Wait. Did I say fiction? I’ll take that back. For this is not a fictional book. The stories, all of them, without any exception, the stories, they are true. And if they sometimes seem far-fetched it’s only because many times reality is stranger than fiction - and also more pitiless, and more brutal. I have kept some of the original quizzes, essays, newspaper articles and classroom drawings to give the book its well-deserved air of authenticity. If you are a teacher, you will read the book and nod in agreement. If you are a parent, now you know – a teacher’s life is not the bowl of cherries you always thought it was. If you are a principal, or a superintendent, you will naturally want to burn the book in the public square - this book is a mirror and you will not like what you see. Some of the real names of the characters have been maintained: Marina Argueta, Elizabeth Ramirez, Franklin Sosa, Jose Alberto Ochoa and the rest of the Ochoa clan, Hector Mandujano, aka Camarón, and most of the soccer players on the KCHS varsity team have given me kind permission to use their real-life names. Only one character in the entire book is completely fabricated, and I will allow you, the reader, the investigative pleasure of discovering who that character is on your own. If you like the book, please recommend it to your friends, to that nasty brother-in-law of yours who gets drunk on Thanksgiving, to the guy sitting next to you in the carpool, or to your fellow teacher in the teacher’s lounge. But don’t lend it to him. Let him buy his own copy. You see, I live off the books I sell. Author :Saileanu, Cristian
