A sheriff’s office seeks justice while a motorcycle gang and a crime family seek revenge
Barney Smith announces the release of ‘Justice or Revenge’,
a murder mystery novel
ELIZABETHON, TN – Barney Smith has previous law enforcement experience as a deputy sheriff with the Orange County Sheriff’s Office in Orlando, Florida. He enjoyed several different assignments but his most rewarding position was that of a homicide detective. His experience and education provide him with the proper foundation for writing mysteries, one of which is “Justice or Revenge” (published by LifeRich Publishing).
A motorcycle gang in Orlando is brought to the attention of law enforcement, after a gang member is murdered. The case is assigned to homicide detectives Jake Jacoby and his partner, Ed Rollins, of the Orange County Sheriff’s Office. The investigation brings suspicion that the biker gang is involved in dealing drugs.
An organized crime family from Philadelphia also becomes part of the investigation, when they are suspected of being involved in gambling, loan sharking and money laundering. The investigation takes another turn when it is discovered that a deputy sheriff is a true family member of this crime family. Significant issues are developed, identifying a connection of the two criminal groups. This results in investigators from several different investigative units being brought in to support the homicide unit.
“There are numerous motorcycle gangs operating in the United States. Additionally, there are several organized crime families operating in the United States.”
“Readers cannot solve the murders until I do. It will appeal to persons who like fiction murder mysteries,” Smith says. “Maybe it will help them in looking at ways to help in solving a murder case.”
