Terror from Within (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781461113621)

To what extremes would you go to provide for your family? Would you turn to crime to keep the wolf from your door? Would you resort to an act of domestic terrorism that threatens the peace of an American city? In Terror from Within, Craig L'Esperance's explosive, authentic crime thriller, domestic terrorism is taken to a new level when the recent economic downturn hits a small suburb northwest of Detroit. Penetrating the thin blue line to shed eye-opening light on the criminal mind and the American justice system, Terror from Within follows the catastrophic course of one man in an all-too-imaginable contemporary predicament-as well as the detectives who must tap their considerable skill, wits, and dedication to respond to his ill-fated actions. Robert Whitlock, a down-and-out Michigan native has lost his job, and, along with it, his wife and children. Served with divorce papers and an order of protection, Robert finds himself banished from his own house. As he struggles to cope with the pending court battle, his resulting tailspin forces him to make some decisions that compromise his moral fiber. A mundane burglary quickly takes a terrorizing and unexpected twist into something more sinister, cunning, and even deadly. It's up to a true man in blue in the form of a self-sacrificing career cop to change this deadly chain of events. Detective Blake Talbot embraces a tenacious work ethic that allows the budget-strapped detective bureau to continue running smoothly despite recent cuts. In the exacting, gripping real detail that only a veteran law enforcement agent can provide, Terror from Within serves up a play-by-play of every loaded moment of the investigation, as Blake furiously gathers and analyzes events and evidence to thwart a terrifying local threat that is chillingly real for all of us. It's a must-read for anyone who craves the real deal in law enforcement, and relishes a suspense-driven read where only a few good men can secure a city.
