Past Perfect

About the Book

Some sixty years after the murder of his uncle in World War II by members of his own platoon, private investigator Jim Morrison discovers that the post-war investigation of the murder was suppressed. When he tries to publicize the results of his inquiry, there are several attempts on his life, all sponsored by Daemon Crux, the would-be candidate for the Republican nomination for president. To protect Jim, his friend, Police Lieutenant Sean Murphy provides him with a hi-tech safe house that he has designed himself. Meanwhile, Sydney Gellar, a prominent reporter, picks up the story. Working together, the three of them try to stop Crux’s attacks and expose his misdeeds before he succeeds in killing Jim and ending his investigation forever.

About the Author

Gene Gold has lived an unusual life, involving music, editing, stay-at-home parenting, OCD and PTSD, the combination of which has taught him much about the human condition, and helped him develop an ironic sense of humor. He has learned to weave themes together in an almost musical way to create books that engage the reader personally in the unfolding drama. His terse prose and graceful commingling of tragedy and comedy provide an engaging, “can’t put the book down” story that never fails to entertain.
