I wrote Five Point Star based on the tragic accident that killed three Secret Service Agents in Mariposa County who were serving to protect Queen Elizabeth on her trip to the United States in 1983. The story is about the crime and corruption in Mariposa that I discovered after the accident. I continued to write stories that included the murder of Julie Cross, the first female agent ever killed in the line of duty. The other stories are a compilation of real life experiences in the Secret Service.
