About this ebook

This is an historical caper set in July in 1938. It starts with Carl Duryea & Johnny Blackham being released from Leavenworth prison. Johnny wants to go back to his hometown of Fresno, California and clear his name. He hasn't a clue as how he will accomplish this. Carl decides he wants to help Johnny. he needs a stake to begin life again and maybe there's some of the money left from the bank robbery four years ago. Blackham has an ally in Fresno, Liz Peck. She's a personnel director at the bank that was robbed and believes she can get Johnny hired as a security guard. The problem is no one knows who had really robbed the bank. Duryea is also hired at the bank as a bookkeeper but something doesn't seem right. he has three days before the 4th of July to figure it out or Johnny and maybe him will be killed.

Author

Peter Butterworth

aloha, I was born in Providence, Rhode Island but began a life of many moves soon thereafter (3 high schools, 2 junior high schools...even 2 kindergardens). I kept moving in a westerly direction until I reached Hawaii. If I moved any further west it'd be east so I returned to California (& gave up a Hemenway scholarship from UH). Spent too much time in competitive athletic endeavors (I was told I was the only history major at La Crosse State U. I was there to play baseball at a very good phy-ed school). Yes, history was my major but you can do only 2 things with a history degree: teach or write. I wasn't ready to do either so I ended up as a pysch nurse (after doing this and that). My motto: Life is serious but...you cannot take it seriously. I've always been interested in people and the human condition and I have the gift of wonder (ex. if wisdom is important why does our culture - and others - ignore it and not esteem it? Our educational system doesn't even teach it in philosophy classes ['No more Kant and the color red already!]). Hence (or is it ergo?), I've matured enough to devote myself to the scribbling craft. Mahalo, Peter
