David
Allen Crockett, a disability retired police officer, simply wants to be left
alone. His seclusion is shattered by a phone call from his lesbian friend and
ex-therapist, Ruby LaCost. At Ruby’s request, Crockett agrees to teach one of
her clients, a troubled woman in fear for her life named Rachael Moore, how to
use a handgun. During the course of those lessons, Crockett and Rachael are
drawn out of their respective shells and, as Ruby knew they would, begin an
intimate relationship. When Rachael dies of an apparent suicide, Crockett is
shattered, and Ruby begins the loving work of putting him back together.
During
Crockett’s recovery, he is contacted by Rachael’s aunt, who believes the
suicide was staged by Rachael’s father. Soon, Crockett finds himself in a world
he thought he’d left behind...a world of murder, treachery, and shameless evil.
Together, Crockett and Ruby begin an investigation that leads them into
discovery, deceit, and death. Intertwined throughout the story are the
relationship dynamics between Crockett and Ruby, and the discovery that, while
love between a straight man and a gay woman may not overcome homosexuality, it
can make it something less than a deal breaker.
Why
will you like Call Me Crockett? Simple. Crockett is a non-violent man capable
of extreme violence. He is a strong character who offers second chances for
himself and those he loves. The novel
flows smoothly with unexpected twists and turns, believable action, humor,
love, revenge, and hope. A reluctant hero, David Allen Crockett will remain on
the big screen behind the reader’s eyes long after the book is finished. But
just call him Crockett. He likes it that way.
