He'd much rather be back at the hotel he won in a poker game. Still, it's not a smart idea to say no to a crime boss. Before you can say "whacked," Benson finds himself on the streets and following clues.It isn't long before Benson realizes that this isn't just a typical carjacking (as the police suspect) or even a mob hit. Instead, the case will take him to suburbia where he soon discovers that every family hides a dark secret. And, sometimes, those secrets can be deadly.

The Good-Looking Dead Guy
Uncried Tears is a story of a young girl in Vietnam whose family was torn apart when she was just seven years old. It is not a story about the war. It is about this young child who struggled to care for her younger sisters after being abandoned by her family. It is a heart-wrenching tale of life in an orphanage, and her courage in surviving living without her parents, growing up with strangers, and ultimately, bringing her family back together while undergoing untold suffering and pain. A story about poverty, adversity, and sorrow. A message of faith and hope.
