Neon Nightmare

About this ebook
Set in the 1980s when mail still came in envelopes, Veteran LAPD cop Carlyle Phelps had to do things the old-fashioned way. It was a time when cell phones were clunky and rare. Google was a character named Barney Google in a 1940s comic strip. Investigations relied even more on shoe leather than they do today. Still, it was the guys in the white hats against the guys in the black hats. Phelps knew how to deal with the black hats. He wasn’t sure he knew anyone with a really sparkling white hat. As is the case today, the police action played out almost exclusively among infinitely subtle shades of gray.
Officer Neon Miller’s worst nightmare comes true when his efforts to help a young boy are misread as abuse. It’s up to Carlyle Phelps to get to the truth and keep Neon out of prison—not to mention saving his reputation and career. Some investigators in Internal Affairs are set on making an example of Neon regardless of the facts. But Phelps believes all the resources at their disposal are not as powerful as the truth. If he can prove it.

Larry Kerr spent four years in the United States Marine Corps and three years working in construction before beginning a 25-years career on the Los Angeles Police Department. He took advantage of the G. I. Bill to attend college, graduating from California State University, Fullerton, with a degree in English literature. Larry has always been fascinated by how the great novelists from Tolstoy to Tom Wolfe made their characters so timelessly believable. And while only a gifted few can play in their league, there is no excuse for anyone who puts pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard) not making the effort. Character is what makes the plot work. In his next lifetime, or perhaps in tonight’s dream, he plans to create a Hamlet or a Falstaff.
