the Ghost, was pure Cajun protecting his younger brother and sister since age
eleven in the swamps of the bayou. Taught to survive by an old Choctaw Indian,
he seeks justice for his brother with his bow and arrow. Sergeant Jack Delaney,
head of the Doom squad, is stumped. This was a first. Why were these males,
seemingly unrelated, showing up with arrows stuck in their heads. Why is the

Mike Smitleys Implied Contract,
in the world of law enforcement, there are few things more complicated and
exasperating than the investigation of a serial murder. Multiple victims and
multiple crime scenes require extra attention and extraordinary analytical
skills. The rare instance of a sniper serial killer is perhaps the most

high-powered rifleman represents an investigator's worst nightmare. That
nightmare has come true for the characters in Implied Contract.
