About this ebook
Harvey Plains is an honorable man, a homicide detective, caught in a corrupt justice system. The last straw is a solid heinous murder case that is thrown out of court. He gets a proposition to work on a tropical island against those same people. He is pragmatic, and sees a way to handle the problem in both places.

This is a work of fiction. Any resemblances to actual persons or events are purely coincidental.
Det. Lt. Harvey Plains had it with police work in Fairfield, Texas. He had to get away, but any nearby state was the same. Cpt. Vernor was just leaving the station, after telling Harve that the judge threw out his case against Oswald and Gene Malcolm.
That was proven ten times over! They killed Jorge and Sylvia Gomez in as heinous a way as he had ever come across!
The Malcolms were rich rednecks. The Gomez family was Latino. He should have known.
He sighed and e-mailed Carter Amos, a friend who was on a long vacation in the Caribbean. He got a reply in less than two minutes.
Hi, Harve – Still want to get the hell out of the rat race there? Maybe work on something a lot different?
Come to Tinta Verde Island! This is right down your line! It could lead to you having a permanent job in Heaven!
He thought about it, sent his reply, and started writing his resignation. This time, he was going through with it.

About the author
CD Moulton has traveled extensively over much of the world both in the music business, where he was a rock guitarist, songwriter and arranger and in an import/export business. He has been everything from a bar owner to auto salvage (junkyard) manager, longshoreman to high steel worker, orchid grower to landscaper, tropical fish farmer to commercial fisherman. He started writing books in 1983 and has published more than 250 books as of January 1, 2016. His most popular books to date are about research with orchids, though much of his science fiction and fantasy work has proven popular. He wrote the CD Grimes, PI series and the Det. Nick Storie series, Clint Faraday series and many other works.
He now resides in Puerto Armuelles, Panamá, where he writes books, plays music with friends, does research with orchids and medicinal plants – and pursues his favorite ways to spend his time: beach bum and roaming the mountain jungles doing his botanical research. He has lately become involved in fighting for the rights of the indigenous people, who are among his closest friends, and in fighting the extreme corruption in the courts and police in Panamá.
He offers the free e-book, Fading Paradise, that explains what he has been through because of the corruption.

Disgust
Det. Lt. Harvey Plains had it with police work in Fairfield, Texas. He had to get away, but any nearby state was the same. Cpt. Vernor was just leaving the station, after telling Harve that the judge threw out his case against Oswald and Gene Malcolm for the torture murders.
That was proven ten times over! They killed Jorge and Sylvia Gomez in as heinous a way as he had ever come across! They were tied, beaten, cut, burned ... it was truly a sickening, disgusting murder scene.
The Malcolms were rich rednecks. They owned a few thousand acres of mostly cattle land. They seemed to be well above the law. Harve had actually seen them unloading some very suspicious packages from a small plane on their private runway.
He couldn’t report that. He wasn’t, technically, in a legal position to be on the property. He was acting on information, on his own. He knew that reporting it would end up with him being fired or worse. Nothing would be done.
This, rather obviously, extended to murder.
The Gomez family was Latino. He should have known.
He sighed and e-mailed Carter Amos, a PI who was working with some kind of government thing, and a friend who was on a long (probably working) vacation in the Caribbean. He got a reply in less than two minutes.
Hi, Harve – Still want to get the hell out of the rat race there? Maybe work on something a lot different? It’s part of police work, but you won’t have to put up
