After a While You Wonder
"The year is 1997, and five former Los Angeles police officers gather for lunch. They begin reminiscing about their assignments at 77th Street Division. They talk of racism, riots and their lives on the LAPD's strong blue line of silence. Two months before the 1965 Watts Riot, one of the men, Q. Sanes, corroborated the testimony of a white officer who claimed the LAPD was racist. With the conviction of O.J. Simpson a few days before in the civil suit for the wrongful death of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman, the men realize that the racial volatility of the City of Angels is still prevalent after three decades of deep social upheaval and change.""N.E.

After a While You Wonder
In 1997, five former black Los Angeles police officers gather for lunch and begin reminiscing about their lives at the 77th Street Division during the 1960s. They remember the riots, the racism, and the discrimination. Two months before the Watts Riot of 1965, one of the officers, Carl Quincy “Q” Sanes, corroborated the testimony of a white officer who claimed the LAPD was racist. A few days after the conviction of O.J. Simpson in the civil suit for the wrongful death of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman, the men realize that the racial volatility of the City of Angels is still prevalent after three decades. After a While You Wonder if things will ever change. “A thought-provoking, gripping, and graphic account of service as a black police officer in Los Angeles in the late 1950s and 1960s...There are touching moments as the main character develops relationships with people living in Watts that come to him for help and advice. You feel the slights and indignities endured by black officers who could not even use the shower in the station or ride in patrol cars with a white officer.” — R.D. Moore, author, Chopper Caper

Tuesday After Next
Kevin Moore, a single and handsome U.S. Treasury agent from Washington, D.C., and Karen Doupchek, a beautiful married DEA agent from L.A., are assigned to a Joint Task Force to investigate drug laundering in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands. The agents are instructed to look like lovers as they check out the exclusive boutique hotel, Aubrey of St. Thomas. The hotel is managed by Aubrey Sanes, widow of ex-L.A. cop Carl Quincy “Q” Sanes, who died during church services four years ago. Q was cremated and his ashes thrown into the sea, but there was never an autopsy report or death certificate. The doctor who certified Q’s death in Puerto Rico also died, leaving no records. The widow’s profitable resort was started with a half million dollars that Q left her. The agents want to know how she parlayed that into such a money-making operation. Thinking the boutique is too much of a good thing, Kevin and Karen search for the “dead” Q, the money trail, or both. While sharing their progress on the case, the agents realize they’ve fallen for each other. Tuesday After Next is the second book in an intriguing trilogy.
