    About this ebook

    In the fifth book of the Godsend series, Echo and Brian work the cold-case murder of a gay man who was stabbed in the head 23 years ago. While Brian is busy running down leads, Echo encounters a Middle-Eastern man whom he suspects is a terrorist. Echo's Plan is simple: Kidnap Abul al Shaziz' wife, and if the man doesn't report her missing then he must be up to no good.

    Brian has just learned that his main suspect in the cold-case murder claims to be a Christian man of God, so now it's time to confront the good Reverend Ambercrombie on the job. What is done in the dark must come to the light, but thousands will witness Brian's work. And by now Echo has shot Abul in the ass and has paralyzed the man from the neck down. An al Qaeda terror plot involving five bombs in California is discovered. Two deadly explosions occur, killing 24, but it could have been much worse. This pushes Brian and Echo to train three new Private Eyes, but first they must show them the ropes.

    K Elliott

    K. Elliott, aka The Well Fed Black Writer, penned his first novel, Entangled, in 2003. Although he was offered multiple signing deals, Elliott decided to found his own publishing company, Urban Lifestyle Press.Bookstore by bookstore, street vendor by street vendor, Elliott took to the road selling his story. He did not go unnoticed, selling 50,000 units in his first year and earning a spot on the Essence Magazine Bestsellers list.Since Entangled, Elliott has published five titles of his own and two more on behalf of authors signed to Urban Lifestyle Press. For one book, The Ski Mask Way, Elliott was selected to co-author with hip-hop superstar 50 Cent. Along the way, he has continued to look for innovative ways to push his books to his fans while keeping down his overhead. Not wanting to keep such valuable experience to himself, Elliott did two things.First, in 2010 he forged his vision of low-cost publishing by in 21 Black Street, an eBookstore to mirror a traditional African-American themed bookstore - except it could totally cuts out a publisher's printing costs.Second, Elliott created the Well-Fed Black Writer, a blog for authors to find life-hacking tips for more efficient, effective self-publishing. The Well-Fed Black Writer includes podcasts, video and blog posts, all to help aspiring authors turn their manuscripts into publishing success stories.

      Chapter 1

      Echo was leaving the upper-class neighborhood of Cedar View in San Diego, California. He was driving Shree Lockhart’s Mercedes and had just interviewed a witness for the new cold case he and Brian were working on. As he neared a stop sign and slowed the vehicle he could see a Toyota Camry in his rearview mirror, and it didn’t appear to be slowing down. Echo was about to cruise past the stop sign to avoid the accident, but two cars were only seconds from the intersection. He brought the Mercedes to a smooth stop and braced himself for the fender-bender.

      The Camry banged into the read end of the Mercedes at about 10 miles per hour. Not a serious wreck, but airbags deployed and bumper damage was evident.

      Echo threw the Benz in park, leaned away from the annoying airbag, and got out of the vehicle. Beautiful trees, spaciously organized and planted many years ago, helped create a picturesque view with the help of homes in the background ranging from $800,000 to $1.7 million in value.

      A forty-year-old man got out of the Camry and met Echo at the rear end of the Mercedes.

      Echo wore a dark brown suit with a black and brown tie. He was concealing a handgun beneath his sport coat.

      The driver of the Camry said, Sorry for your accident. Please accept my apologies. His accent was Middle-Eastern. He looked white with a slight tan.

      "Sorry for my accident? Didn’t you see this big-ass Benz? I saw you looking my way before you hit me."

      It was the brakes. They did not work because the gas pedal continued . . . eh, sticking. Got stuck.

      Echo looked at the damage. He’d heard about certain Toyota models having such a problem. They had . . . Toyota had a recall in 2010. Why didn’t you get your shit fixed?

      How much. What is the cost? the man said.

      You don’t pay for recalls.

      No, I . . . eh, want to pay for your repair?

      Echo said, You’re coming out to Cedar View; don’t tell me you don’t have insurance.

      Yes, but quickly. I pay for repair quickly.

      What’s your name? Let me see your driver’s license.

      The man reached for his wallet. I am Abul al-Shaziz. He gave his license card to Echo.

      Echo looked at the card. Spring Valley Lane. Is that in this neighborhood?

      Yes.

      Echo assumed the man was either a business owner or a fucking tech wizard; he must be, with a funny name like Shaziz. Okay, Abul. You dented my shit up pretty bad. Can you write me a check for twelve thousand dollars? The actual damage was worth no more than three thousand dollars.

      Abul smiled and said, "Expensive automobile. Excuse
