From Derringer Award winner BV Lawson come three tales featuring Scott Drayco, a man who had everything going for him: handsome, brilliant, a talented classical pianist in the prime of his youth. After violence scarred him physically and emotionally, he turned to an FBI career for ten years and now freelances as a crime consultant, taking on cases other people often don't want to touch.
In THE TRADITION THIEF, first published in "Rope and Wire," Drayco teams up with a Native American sheriff to find the link between stolen artifacts and a suspicious death; In TERROR OF THE MIND BANDIT, a man with dementia thinks the nursing home staff are trying to kill him, and Drayco begins to suspect there may be something to the man's claims; and in OUT OF THE CLOUDS, Drayco discovers murder and revenge at 20,000 feet.
