Some People Need Killing

We all understand that there are people who work with dependent children, children who are physically abused, sexually abused, neglected, or abandoned. We may be familiar with programs such as protective services or foster care. This book concerns one particular group in the dependency continuum less well known, abuse investigators. When a call comes into the Abuse Hotline, anywhere in this country, they are the ones who actually hit the streets, immediately or within twenty-four hours, to go into the home, make an assessment, and need to be right 100% of the time. They carry notepads instead of guns and keep their wits about them even in the face of real danger, real heartbreak, and agonizing frustrations. Almost always challenging, interesting, and even fun, the work seems to attract strong men and women of character who are committed to what they are doing. Hopefully, I was able to tell their story, to honor them for their dedication and service. This is a work of fiction and a little over the top to keep the pages turning. Adults, both male and female, who are looking for a good read, a rolicking thriller laced with social issues, cops, murder, sex,and fun should enjoy this book. No one wants to read a depressingly sad book anyway. I sincerely hope that the reader comes away with a better appreciation for these men and women and the extremely important job they do out there every day to help protect children.
