About this ebook

Jack Hastings is in a heap of trouble. Following a stellar career in the U.S. Army that began at West Point and ended with his retirement as a Major General, he now owns a small arms manufacturing company located in Stillwater, Oklahoma. Mesquite Manufacturing builds a unique weapon that has caught the eye of certain nefarious groups below our southern border. Mexican drug cartels usually get what they want. But, when General Hastings refuses to sell his product to them, a young lady friend of the General’s ends up dead. With his footprints and fingerprints all over the scene, and his admission that he had been there, Major General Jack Hastings has a new uniform... the orange jumpsuit issued to him by the Oklahoma City Jail. He also has a wife who has found the end of her rope.

Now General Hastings has his flaws, but is murder one of them? Attorney Sally Stillwell is faced with defending the General against a mountain of circumstantial evidence tipping the scales against her. Harry Kincaid and the upper echelons of U.S. Intelligence have other interests in the case. Once again, it’s Kincaid against the bad guys. And there are a lot of bad guys.

Author

A. A. MacQueen

I interrupted a Bridge game one Saturday night in 1947. Though I remained an only child, my parents continued to play Bridge well into their 80s. I lived the nomad life of an "Army Brat," which I consider a wonderful up-bringing even though I did attend 10 schools in 12 years. I began writing as soon as I could hold one of those fat pencils to my Big Chief tablet but I allowed a 30 year career in sales to get in the way of taking it seriously. I got a degree in Economics from Auburn University and there is absolutely no truth to the rumor that after five years of missteps and changed majors, they just threw a diploma into my car when I drove slowly down College Street. I spent three years working for Uncle Sam as an Army officer and served one of those years in the Garden Spot of Southeast Asia, otherwise known as Vietnam... also known as "the land of the two-way rifle range." I'm not one of those malcontents with a chip on his shoulder for having served there. I am proud of my service to the country to whom we all owe so much. I made life-long friends in the Army and saw parts of life that I would not otherwise have seen. Much of my writing draws from that experience. I write for pleasure. Both mine and yours.
