About the Book:
When Chicago detectives Frank
Campello and Andy Polanski are assigned to investigate the murder of Trina
Martinez it seems like an ordinary homicide. An unfortunate young girl in the
wrong place at the wrong time has been brutally murdered. But their investigation
is halted by a wall of silence, a wall erected by powerful interests that will
render their inquiry a lost cause.
Then they enlist the support of reporter Christy Lee – and come under
immediate fire. Polanski is arrested. Campello threatened. Christy is attacked.
It’s the case that every cop gets. The one that changes his life. The one
where justice is elusive and the hunter becomes the hunted.
Frank Campello and Andy Polanski are The Sons of Jude.
About the Author:
Brandt Dodson was born and raised in Indianapolis,
Indiana, which he would later choose as the
setting for his Colton Parker Mystery series. Although he discovered in grade
school that he wanted to be a writer, it would be another twenty-one years
before he would put pen to paper.“I knew in fifth grade that I wanted to be a
writer. Our teacher had given each of us a photograph which we were to use as
inspiration for a short story. The particular photo I was given was of several
young men playing handball in New York City.
I don’t remember all of the particulars of the story now, but I do remember the
thrill that writing it gave me.”
Later, while in college, one of Brandt’s professors would echo that
teacher’s comment.
“But life intervened and I found myself working at a variety of jobs. I
worked in the toy department of a local department store and fried chicken for
a local fast food outlet. Over the course of the next several years I finished
my college degree and worked for the Indianapolis
office of the FBI, and served for eight years as a Naval Officer in the United
States Naval Reserve. I also obtained my doctorate in Podiatric Medicine, and
after completion of my surgical residency, opened my own practice. But I never
forgot my first love. I wanted to write.”
During his early years in practice, Brandt began reading the work of Dean
Koontz.
“I discovered Dean’s book, The Bad Place, and was completely blown
away by his craftsmanship. I read something like 13 or 14 of his back list over
the following two weeks. It wasn’t long after that I began to write and submit
in earnest.”
Still, it would be another twelve years before Brandt was able to secure the
publishing contract he so desperately desired.
“I began by writing the type of fiction that I enjoyed; I wrote edgy crime
thrillers that were laced with liberal amounts of suspense. Over the years,
I’ve begun to write increasingly more complex work by using broader canvases
and themes.
Since securing his first contract, Brandt has continued to pen the type of stories
that inspired him to write when he was a boy, and that have entertained his
legions of readers.
“I love to write, and as long as others love to read, I plan on being around
for a long time to come.”
Brandt Dodson’s latest book is the crime thriller The
Sons of Jude.
