Shakedown

You know, they say that the least important word in the English vocabulary is the word I. But it is also a word in which we love to use a lot these days. We love to use it because we all love to talk about ourselves. Blessed is the man or woman who doesn't, or is wise enough not to - talk about themselves that is. That is a precious gift and if I had possessed such a gift and the wisdom to discern it, I probably would not have been in the predicament in which I found myself; and probably would not be on record in a police data base for as long as I live. This book is no exception to the rule, since this an autobiography of my latter years there is no way around it. Most authors write for the sole purpose of personal gain and success and this of course means of course different things to different people. But this book goes beyond that.
