The Pickett Factor

Mackland, PA Chief of Police and his old college friend, Attorney Brady Pickett, work to solve multiple crimes that are tearing their historic small town apart: a police officer is ambushed and murdered on his way home from a shift; a mother of four children goes missing; father of the missing woman is killed in a suspicious hunting accident; a mother and her teenage daughter are brutally slain in their bedrooms, their throats slashed and shot to death; several drug groups brazenly operate in the town and attack citizens on their own property; an old 1979 disappearance and murder could have something to do with the current events plaguing the town.

This fictional novel is inspired by a current on-going set of crimes in a real town, not the one depicted in the book. Those crimes are mentioned above, and have at this time not been solved. The reader only has the author's imaginative fiction to guide them to a climactic ending.
