Deceptions: The Iron Eagle Series Book: Thirty-One

“Man, don’t you know there are dangerous people on these streets?”

Back Matter:
Child Protective Services. The very words call to mind images of dedicated case workers protecting innocents and improving families. Those who enter the field are seen as selfless for their actions, but every saint has a secret. As a 30-year veteran at CPS, Anita Bandon was the rock everyone in law enforcement leaned on, including the Iron Eagle. But when Bandon is gunned down in an apparent professional hit, an unfathomable reality comes to light. John Swenson and Jim O’Brian uncover corruption and cruelty so unthinkable that only the Iron Eagle can stop it.

Inside Flap:
Secrets are hard to keep, especially when revealing them could shake an entire industry. Such is the case for Anita Bandon, the acting director of Los Angeles County Child Protective Services. Despite a 30-year career built from the ground up, Bandon’s life is abruptly ended in what most would write off as a random act of violence. But Bandon’s death in a gang-infested Watts neighborhood is actually the first in a series of killings targeting the one entity whose sole purpose is to care for innocent children. As John Swenson and Jim O’Brian investigate her death, an elaborate deception comes to light … one that only the Iron Eagle can stop.
