PI Frank Sanders is “blown away” by the woman who strolls into his office one morning. Not only is she drop-dead-gorgeous, she’s also rich and willing to pay whatever it takes for him to find her missing father, world-famous geologist Dr. Stephen Jaspers who went rock hunting in the desert and hasn’t been heard from since. A retired Riverside California Police Department detective, Frank is used to searching for people. He takes the case, assuming it’s a simple missing person. But what he uncovers is more than he bargained for, leading him to suspect that he’s about to be blown away—literally, this time—along with everyone else in Southern California.
*********
In Operation Scorpion by John R. Beyer, Frank Sanders is a
private detective in Southern California. When a beautiful
client comes in, asking him to find her missing father, Frank
takes the case, thinking the man just got busy and forgot to
call his daughter. But Frank soon learns that it’s not that
simple, after all. As the case develops, he discovers a ring
of corruption with some very powerful and dangerous players.
True to Beyer fashion, the story is fast-paced, intense at
times, and thoroughly entertaining. It will hold your interest
from beginning to end. ~ Taylor Jones, Reviewer
Operation Scorpion
Operation Scorpion by John R. Beyer is the story of Frank
Sanders, retired River California cop turned private detective.
He gets a new client whose father is missing and, at the
time, all Frank knows is the client is beautiful and rich
enough to pay him for the work, and she hasn’t heard from
her father in over three weeks. The case should be a simple
search and find. But alas, that is not to be, and Frank is soon
embroiled in deceit, betrayal, and deadly secrets that put
everyone in Southern California at risk. Who do you trust
when the corruption goes to the highest levels? This time,
Frank may have bitten off more than he can handle. Operation
Scorpion is fast paced, tense, exciting, and intriguing. I
really liked Frank and thought the character development
was exceptional. There’s a lot going on, so you’ll want to
read carefully, or better yet, keep it around to read again if
real life gets too boring. ~ Regan Murphy, Reviewer
