FEAR HAS A NAME (The Crittendon Files, Book 1)

A Haunting Name From the Past . . .

Granger Meade. He was mentally scarred as a boy by his religious zealot parents. He was bullied at school for his quiet, oafish appearance, which naturally made him a loner and outcast.
But one girl treated him differently—Pamela Wagner. Pamela talked to Granger, took an interest, listened, made him feel like a human being. She cared when no one else did, and Granger loved and respected her for it; and still does 20 years later.
So Granger goes back to their Ohio town. Back to Pamela.
But she is happily married to reporter Jack Crittendon, who's embroiled in a time-sensitive story about a pastor who's disappeared and left a suicide note; a case swirling with suspicion and scandal. When Granger crosses paths with Pamela, he snaps and does the unthinkable, putting Pamela's life in the balance, and sending Jack on a death-defying quest to save his wife.

People Are Sick And Dying in an Ohio Town.
Rumors Are Swirling Like the Poison in the Air . . .

Some claim chemicals leaking from a manufacturing plant are causing the cancer that's crippling people on the poor side of Trenton City, Ohio. Yet nothing at the plant appears amiss. The problem remains a mystery until reporter Jack Crittendon's long-time mechanic falls ill and Jack investigates.

Soon Jack becomes engulfed in a smokescreen of lies, setups, greed, and scandal. The deeper he digs, the more toxic the corruption he uncovers. As he faces off with the big-time corporate players behind the scenes and tries to beat the clock before more people die, he realizes the chillingly unthinkable—he knows way too much.
