About the Author: Carl's professional career began as an Army and then FAA air traffic controller. He advanced from a small radar van in the Central Highlands of Vietnam to the TRACON in one of our nation's busiest airports. He also became a commercial pilot and flight instructor, retiring after thirty-nine years of flying. By 1986 he was experiencing severe burnout. He put himself through the police academy, resigned from the FAA and became a deputy Sheriff in Reno, Nevada. He retired after a distinguished career on the street. Not only the cop on the beat, Carl became a renowned traffic accident reconstructionist on his departments Major Accident Investigation Team, as well as a highly acclaimed crime scene investigator. Throughout his life Carl has been a student of the paranormal and often experienced the effects of the supernatural in his personal life. In 2012 he became involved in the saga of the haunted Allen House in Monticello, Arkansas and its resident spirit, Ladell Allen Bonner. The result of dozens upon dozens of paranormal interactions with Ladell led Carl to write his first book about Ladell's life and death. Writing that first book sparked a latent avocation in his life: writing. Carl has always been a connoisseur of military history, and that interest began a new direction for his writing. This latest book, the second in the Behind The Lines series, is the story of the C.I.A. in Japan and Korea beginning in early 1950, and the battles they fought not only with the North Koreans, but with General MacArthur and his bumbling intelligence chief, Major General Charles Willoughby. The North Korean Army captured Major General William F. Dean, commanding General of the U.S. Army 24th Infantry Division early in the war and held him in solitary confinement in northern North Korea. Although several military attempts to repatriate him failed, can the C.I.A. put together a team and succeed? This fictional accounting based upon actual military records will keep you on the edge of your seat.
