The Face of Persecution
About this audiobook
In the seemingly tranquil town of Gig Harbor, the seasoned and once-complacent Sergeant Jack Reiner finds his tenured position shattered by a gruesome murder that rips through the community. As the chilling details of the crime emerge, Reiner is thrust into a high-stakes hunt for an elusive killer, a case that quickly spirals beyond anything he's encountered before. With every step toward the truth, he's met with a relentless barrage of obstacles, from uncooperative witnesses to dead ends, making an already complex investigation even more fraught.
As the body count rises and public fear intensifies, Sergeant Reiner battles not only the unknown assailant but also the pervasive negative public perception of the police department. Each misstep or delay fuels the media's scrutiny and the town's growing mistrust, threatening to derail the investigation and shatter his career. Reiner finds himself in a desperate race against time, not just to catch a murderer, but to restore faith in the badge he proudly wears and confront the chilling reality that the face of persecution might be closer than he ever imagined.
Will Jack Reiner overcome the internal and external pressures to unmask the killer and bring justice for the community, or will he become another victim in the crosshairs of a ruthless enemy and a skeptical public?

About the author
As a new author, my journey into writing stems from a profound need to express myself and illuminate experiences often left unspoken. My first novel, Scorched Earth, is a direct reflection of this. In it, I delve into the intense impacts of military trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and depression, exploring how these powerful forces reshape a veteran's view of the world and their connection to the community around them. This is a topic incredibly close to my heart.
My background includes serving in the United States Marine Corps as an Infantry Rifleman with the 1st Battalion 5th Marines from 2013 to 2017. Those two deployments, serving alongside the bravest men imaginable, were foundational experiences. Upon my return to civilian life, my focus shifted to my own recovery and treatment. I then forged a career path in real estate and corrections, finding a rhythm that offered more balance with my family. This new chapter also afforded me the invaluable opportunity to achieve two separate degrees in Business Administration and Management with Leadership through American Military University, while also dedicating time to personal development through religious studies to deepen my philosophical understanding of what it means to be a better person.
What began as a therapeutic process through writing has organically transformed into a fulfilling hobby, and now, a passionate venture. I am genuinely excited and hopeful to share these literary stories and ideas, believing they can resonate deeply with others
