Glenn Rogers Announces "Love and Lies," the Second Book of the Mystery-Thriller Series Featuring Detective Jake Badger
Estherville, IA, July 08, 2015 --(PR.com)-- Glenn Rogers’ mystery-thriller, Love and Lies, featuring private investigator, Jake Badger, explores the question of whether or not there could be informants inside the FBI, the nation’s premier law enforcement agency.
While an FBI agent, Jake had been in charge of a sting operation—buying illegal weapons from the syndicate. The sting went bad and Jake’s partner and lover, Elaine, was killed. The official agency position was that the sting was a botched operation. Hurt, angry, and guilt-ridden, Jake left the agency and started cage fighting. After forty-plus fights in two years, all won by knock out, Jake quite fighting when he put an opponent into a six-week long coma. A few months later, less angry but still guilt-ridden, Jake opened his own investigation agency. Two years later, one of Jake’s friends, who knew about the sting operation and how Elaine’s death had impacted Jake, asked him if he had ever discovered who the mole was. Jake realized that he had been so torn up over losing Elaine that he’d never questioned the agency’s interpretation of events. But now, the more he thinks about what happened and how, the more he is convinced that there must have been an informant.
Jake shares his thinking with his best friend, Special Agent in Charge of the Los Angeles office of the FBI, Alex Watson. Alex agrees with Jake, and together the two of them set out to discover who the informant was … or still is.
As the investigation heats up, Jake enlists the help of his friend and fellow investigator, Monica Nolan. Monica is beautiful and just happens to be in love with Jake. But Jake, still hung up on Elaine after four years, can’t even contemplate a relationship with another woman. A former Army MP and very capable investigator, it is Monica who makes the breakthrough, discovering who the informant was. Will knowing who betrayed him give Jake the closure he needs and allow him to move on? Monica can only hope.
“Grief is a difficult concept,” Rogers said. “People grieve in different ways and at different rates, and closure, if it comes, may or may not allow one to ‘move on’ into a new relationship. The intricacies of grief and closure are part of what I wanted to explore in Love and Lies.”
Love and Lies is available from Amazon as a Kindle book or as a paperback or hardback. All of Rogers’ novels are highlighted on his website: booksbyglennrogers.net
