Sam Morton’s 12 year law
enforcement career with the Richland County Sheriff’s Department (South Carolina) included assignments as a detective
working robbery and homicide. Sam Morton is the author of Disavowed. And, the upcoming book Ramblings.
According to the book description
of Disavowed, “armed with a new
identity, Chandler, a disgraced ex-cop, takes on murderous white supremacists to win back his honor. In the process, he discovers
it might cost him more than he's willing to pay. When an innocent woman is kidnapped, Mike battles time, the FBI, and the
kidnappers themselves to save her life and his one chance at happiness.
He is soon reminded that life
is never easy, as the people responsible, thinly veiled as a corporate "Board of Directors," are well-heeled, intelligent,
and well financed. It will take more than government bureaucracy to bring them to justice. Heart-pumping action plunges Mike
headlong into a nightmare of fear and intrigue. Will his wits be enough to save him, or will intolerance prevail.”
According to one reader/reviewer
of Disavowed, “I picked up "Disavowed," carried it to the airport
with me and started to read while waiting for my flight to take off. In no time at all, I was hooked. This is one truly intriguing
story. I'm usually a pretty friendly person. But I quickly found myself wanting
to tell the woman next to me that I was really more interested in reading and not talking to her. I can't find any other books
from Sam Morton, only short stories. But I'm looking forward to his next novel. If it's anything like this one, it will be
a truly worthwhile read.”
According to another reader of Sam Morton’s Disavowed,
“In Columbia, South Carolina Mike Chandler was forced to resign from the police in disgrace as IA blamed him for the
Payne fiasco. Currently he works in the summer heat frying flounder at the Dixie Fish and Oyster Company. Attorney Henry Stearns
hires Mike to find a missing person for his wealthy clients; they want Mike to locate missing amateur Civil War historian
Parris Bennigan, who had been hired to help this group locate two million dollars in lost silver
Mike easily finds the missing professor in the Bahamas where he learns his clients
are influential lethal white supremacists The Board of Directors. The next day Bennigan is assassinated. Back home, the FBI
using a phony charge demands Mike help them by infiltrating the deadly BOD. With no choice Mike accepts the job of pretending
to be a racist. His only contact is FBI psychologist Dr. Max Sheldon, who is "married" to Mike and pretends to be
a mother of a five years old daughter. Mike knows he would risk his life to insure the females in his "family" stay
alive from dangerous individuals who willingly kill non-white infants.
This gripping police procedural thriller
hooks the audience from the opening horrific hospital prologue, picks up speed in the Bahamas and goes into hyper once Mike
is forced to go undercover. Mike is a terrific honorable protagonist who gave away his dream to protect others and would die
to insure his beloved females are safe, but perhaps the most fascinating character is a white supremacist Jason who provides
insight into the belief of those who insist beauty is skin deep. Fans will root for Mike as he risks his life to destroy the
powerful BOD.”
