    About this ebook

    Young Sarah Willis was reported missing to the Medford police by her father. When Greg Willis decided the authorities were dragging their feet, he hired private investigator Tom Casey, better known as Hawkman, to find her.

    When Hawkman began to dig into Sarah’s personal items, his wife convinced him he didn’t understand the workings of a young girl’s mind, and needed her help. As they dug into the inner parts of Sarah’s computer, diary and notes, they discovered some disturbing facts which led them to a ranch in the Medford hills.

    The owners of the ranch happened to be Darek and Lea Thompson, a wealthy family with a teenage daughter, Brenda, who attended the same high school as Sarah, and another reported missing girl, Patricia Riley.

    As Hawkman continued his investigation, he felt some sort of witchcraft played a role, and that ’s boyfriend, Jerry Olson, the Thompson family had something to do with the girl’s disappearance.

    Betty Sullivan La Pierre

    Born and raised in Oklahoma, Betty Sullivan La Pierre attended the Oklahoma College for Women and the University of Oklahoma, graduating with her BS degree in Speech Therapy with a Specialty in the Deaf. Once married, she moved to California with her husband. When her husband was killed in an automobile accident, she was left with two young boys to raise. She is now remarried and has had another son through that marriage. Ms. La Pierre has lived in the Silicon Valley (California) for many years. At one time, she owned a Mail Order Used Book business dealing mainly in signed and rare books, but phased it out because it took up too much of her writing time. She’s an avid reader, belongs to the Wednesday Writers’ Society, and periodically attends functions of other writing organizations. She writes Mystery/Suspense/Thriller novels, which are published in digital format and print. Her Hawkman Mystery Series is developing quite a fan base. Most of the stories are set around Copco Lake in Northern California where Hawkman lives with his wife, Jennifer. If you read the “THE ENEMY STALKS” you’ll get the feel for Hawkman and where he comes from. After that, the books can be read in any order, as each is a complete story. Betty’s also written two stand-alone Mystery/Thrillers, “MURDER.COM” and “THE DEADLY THORN”.
