A Taste of Freedom

Doug Samuels is a highly respected but emotionally challenged ex-cop turned private investigator, who is reeling from a heartbreakingly painful loss. Working out of a small office in the St. Louis neighbourhood called Central West End, and with the assistance of his best friend’s wife, he receives little warning of his destiny.

Wittingly chosen for the task, Doug is hired by the spouse of a successful investment banker. The alarmingly sexy blond suspects the man she married of cheating and asks Doug to verify her suspicions. His pretty client entices and manipulates Doug’s vulnerabilities as a second case, involving an ex-pimp turned NFL running back, lures Doug back and forth across the country, forcing him to dodge and deflect warranted scrutiny from the FBI.

Accepting each case with the best of intentions, Doug’s professional ethics, and high moral standards are continuously challenged as he’s pulled deeper and deeper into a world of deception, lies, sex, and murder. Doug’s good nature paired with his inability to say no changes his life forever.

A Cold Case

It is a story about time and memory. The protagonist pieces together meaning from the evidence he encounters over a thirty-year time span: the first-person narrative that moves back and forth between the last years of the Cold War and the present. The novel explores overlapping milieus in Frankfurt whose uneasy coexistence sometimes erupts into violence: competing elements in the German underworld, the personalities and bureaucracies of German policing, American military personnel and military police, German and American academics. The reader shares the immediate experience of the American investigator, a former officer of the American Military Police who was once stationed in Frankfurt. The reader shares his reflections, as well, as the older man’s accumulated experience becomes a lens through which he views his younger self. The dramatic and violent events of the first investigation, interspersed with the calm and reflective atmosphere of the second search, create the novel’s particular rhythm.
