Xulon Press Announces New Book Offering Mystery and Suspense

In Charles B. Shanks' new book Wisdom of the Father ($24.99, paperback, 9781545606223; $9.99, eBook, 9781545606230) midnight brings the detectives to the scene of a homicide. Subsequent investigation finds Levi, the lead detective, standing in on the autopsy of the "Jane Doe" victim. The medical examiner, Dr. Whitaker, stirs his interest in forensic sciences, but Levi soon develops a deeper interest in the doctor's departmental secretary. Caroline, a raven-haired young lady, soon commands his dedicated attention. Levi finds ways to make frequent visits to the University Pathology Department. The enigma of the homicide drags on while romance blooms.

Shanks writes, "Controversial issues relevant to political and ethical standards are presented from a conservative point of view. Newer forensic studies are discussed without going into technical detail. New diagnostic DNA studies are hit upon briefly, all making this book newsworthy and relevant for today."

Charles served in the United States Air Force and Naval Communications where he developed a love of freedom and country, which continues today. He is a graduate of Cleveland Institute with an AEE degree and East Tennessee State University with a BSN in Health Sciences. He worked for 30+ years in local emergency medical services. After retirement, he developed an increased interest in writing. Charles is currently active in many civic and volunteer agencies in the local area. He is an active member of the Gideon's International. He is also a lifelong woodworking enthusiast.
