Admittance of existence, and at the same time, denial and obfuscation yield the best results for concealing the truth. Will we ever know the exact intent of the rumored conspiracies? The answer is, as with most things of this nature, probably not. Still, the quest for verity lingers.
So, with that in mind, sit back and turn the pages of H.A.A.R.P.’S FURY, RED 7, and CARIBBEAN AGENDA, and then let Bryson McGann put the pieces of the puzzle together for you. For it is only in the realm of storytelling, where fact and fiction coincide, can there be answers to the puzzling and collusive events that wait to shatter the world around us.
~William Beck
"I consider your writing to be the unique and perfect blend of Tom Clancy, Stephen Coonts and Clive Cussler. Bryson McGann is Jack Ryan and Jake Grafton all in one but smarter. Your experience with the high seas and knowledge of military and covert government ops give you an impressive background that drive your characters into reality. Very impressive work." -Bradley Nickell, Author and Police Detective

About the Author:
Christopher M. Baughman has made a meteoric rise within the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department since becoming a patrol officer in 1999. A year and a half later he was reassigned as an investigator in the Bolden Area Commands Problem Solving Unit which.
Two years later he was recruited to the Gang Crimes Section and distinguished himself by locking away some of the most violent gang members within the Las Vegas Valley, including national high profile cases such as "The School Bus Shooting," where six kids were shot while exiting a school bus. Christopher solved the case in four days.
Four years later, Christopher was recruited to the Vice Crimes, where he changed the culture and scope of the crimes investigated by the Vice Crimes Section. As a result of Christopher's detective abilities, a team was built around him, the Pandering Investigation Team (P.I.T.) and Human Trafficking Task Force.
In less than a year, Christopher's team arrested and convicted several of the wealthiest and most violent criminals in the city. This success of this team caught the attention of investigative reporter Chris Hansen of NBC Dateline Undercover "To Catch a Predator."
Christopher has served as reference expert for the television show CSI: Las Vegas, specifically for the ground breaking crossover episode CSI: Trilogy. Christopher teaches the anatomy of pandering investigations to other departments across the nation, including members of the FBI, IRS Agents, Federal Parole and Probation.
Christopher Baughman has that rarest quality among authors: a truly original voice. OFF THE STREET is like no other book I've ever read. Coming across as a real-life, crime-fighting, near evangelical super-hero on steroids, Baughman takes us with him every step of the way as he builds an impregnable case to take down a vicious Vegas pimp, but it's his commitment to the life he's chosen, and to the fascinating anomaly he has become as a cop, that renders this book unforgettable. I couldn't put it down, and neither will you. ~John Lescroart, New York Times Bestseller author of the Dismas Hardy novels and The Hunt Club

“John Testarossa (not the car!) is no ordinary LAPD dick. He’s an Italian redhead who bears the weight of his heritage and familial tragedy like a hip-holstered 9 mm Smith and Wesson. A story filled with dialogue as crystal and true as a Southern California sunset, Testarossa is procedural crime novel will please mystery fans who love to curl up with thrillers that are as much motivated by crime solving as they are strong, and at time, troubling, family ties. If you love Harlan Coben, Peter Robinson or Kelly Armstrong, you’re going to absolutely die for Julie Dolcemaschio.”

About the author:
RICK NICHOLS has held a deep fascination for Feudal Japan and the code of bushido that guided the samurai since childhood. For Rick, writing was always just a hobby until college, when he got the idea for a character named John Logan— an ex-spy turned private detective. That spurred him to begin to really learn the craft of storytelling.
Rick has served in the U.S. Army as a Military Policeman, and is a graduate of Glenville State College, the Ft Leonard Wood Law Enforcement Academy, and a couple of things that he can’t talk about. He holds a belt in Ko Setumi Sei Kan karate and has also studied Aikido, Judo, Kung Fu, and even aki-bujutsu—the original unarmed combat taught to the ancient samurai.
Nichols’ ability to take the reader’s imagination and put it into overdrive is impressive… brilliantly conceived. The raw emotion brought out in the story is something that makes the book hard to put down.”
– Bradley Nickell, Police Detective and author of Repeat Offender

Unreasonable Inferences is a true crime story written by a prosecutor in the Wisconsin county where the events recounted occurred. From the brutal assault of a woman jogging along a remote stretch of beach on the Lake Michigan shoreline, through a history-making verdict twenty years later, it's a fast-paced story full of suspense. The astonishing aftermath of the original trial received extensive coverage in the New York Times, the Chicago Tribune, Fox News, NBC, and CNN, among others.
But Unreasonable Inferences is more than just another fascinating true crime story. It's a chilling example of what can happen when those in power lose sight of their calling, and a stark reminder of the unintended consequences that can flow from a single wrong. Police and prosecutors were forced to make decisions in this case that tested their moral fiber, and their failure to make the right ones ruined the already troubled life of one person and tragically wreaked havoc on the lives of several others.
Prosecutors rarely dwell on wrongful convictions, especially when the exonerated man was a nefarious sort like Steven Avery -- a lost and dangerous soul with a record a mile long. "Who cares about the likes of Steven Avery?" is a common refrain. Maybe he was innocent this time, but sooner or later he would have landed in prison anyhow -- and that's where he belongs!
But by unpeeling the layers of this twenty year crime saga, Griesbach shows how that view is not only wrongheaded, but dangerous to public safety. Because when it comes to crime and punishment, "a single injustice can fester for years."
“Griesbach tells an electrifying story about how justice isn't just blind but downright narrow minded. ... Well-written, fast paced, and an avant-garde storyline, Unreasonable Inferences is destined to be one of 2010's top true crime books.”
