CREAGER The Van Joe Parker Saga: Take a roller coaster ride. An action adventure with crime, mystery, suspense, and plenty of humor.

What has got Detective Creager’s mind so twisted up?Is it the pandemic threatening to destroy the local Native American Reservation, or is it the bank robbery where his partner, Detective Alex Ritch, takes a bullet? Maybe it’s the woman his best friend is having an affair with who is being indicted for killing her husband. And then there’s the Morman group chased off their land by the cartel.

How about the two women who are kidnapped from Beck’s Saloon? Could it be the notion of the soon-to-be new addition to the Creager family?These are just a few of the challenges Creager is faced with. You can be sure Detective Creager and his elite group of crime fighters, some slightly unorthodox, are up to the task.

Except for the baby, Sheri’s got that!!This book is the second edition of the CREAGER saga books. Just like the first, CREAGER, The War Paint Killer Saga, it takes place in a scenic region south of Denver.

Bedford Township, created in the early 1900s, like many developed areas, experienced times of prosperity and periods of decline. Early in the 2000s was one such period of decline.

Something had to be done. The proximity to the Platte River made it the ideal location for developing a lake.

In 2012, construction on the Rove Dam began. When completed, it created the largest lake in the state.

Large deposits of cobalt, lithium manganese, and copper were found during the excavation of the lake bed. With the increase in the demand for EVs (electric vehicles), those minerals became much more valuable.

The competition and land wars began. To boost their stagnant budget, in 2014, the state legislation made Colorado one of the first to approve the recreational use of cannabis.

Cartels from the Golden Triangle of Sinaloa, Chihuahua, and Durango moved in. Who will control the production and flow of cannabis in the state? The town began to prosper, bringing in droves of outsiders.

As the population increases, so does the crime. .
