Behind the Curtain: Piercing the Witness Protection Veil (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781681814827)

Finding someone in the Witness Protection Program is excruciatingly difficult, precisely because the Marshals Service goes to great lengths to change a witness's identity and to move the witness, plus spouse and children, far away. Yet Private Detective Rocky Stonebrook accepts an assignment to do precisely that. Astonishingly, Stonebrook and his two sidekicks manage, with a great deal of luck, to locate the hidden woman. But in doing so, they encounter hostile federal marshals and unknowingly elicit the attention of three separate hitmen dispatched by the National Hitpersons Society. One hitman wants to murder the witness, one seeks to kill the witness' daughter, and the third killer tries to terminate Stonebrook with extreme prejudice. Behind the Curtain: Piercing the Witness Protection Veil is a taut mystery/thriller chock full of adventure, sharp turns, assassins, surprises, and several near-misses. In other words, it's a must-read. Garibaldi Sabio has published two other novels, 2358 (a mixed genre of sci-fi and courtroom scenes), and Action (a murder mystery for which Behind the Curtain is a sequel, and features the same central character). The author lives in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, where he is a member of the Jackson Hole Writers Group, Teton Back Country Horsemen, Citizens Mounted Patrol, and the Jackson Hole Historical Society, for which he is walking tour guide. In previous vocational incarnations, he was an attorney, mediator, trainer, planner, magazine columnist, and the editor-in-chief of a neighborhood newspaper.
