Welcome to the "THE CHOICE, the unexpected heroes" Blog Tour! @gmplano @4WillsPub #RRBC


I'm please today to welcome fellow Rave Reviews Book Club member Gwen Plano. She's promoting her book The Choice, now available for $0.99! Take it away, Gwen! 



***

As a child of the Sixties, tragedy squelched my idealism. First, the unbelievable occurred. President John F. Kennedy was shot and killed. His death was followed by the murder of civil rights leader and minister, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. A few months later, JFK’s brother, Senator Robert F. Kennedy was assassinated. Three notable and beloved leaders were dead.

These events shook the nation as nothing had prior. There were answers given, culprits found, but many of us did not believe what we were told. Doubt became part of the fabric of our lives.

In THE CHOICE, questions are raised about key deaths and theories abound. In this clip, a traitor (Robert Sullivan) is murdered while in prison. 




Excerpt:

Admiral Parker walks into the OPS Center and asks for Sergeant Gruner. A staffer leads him to the back office.

“Good morning, sir. You must have heard from General Taylor.”

“I sure did. What in the world happened?”

“The preliminary reports show that Sullivan was poisoned. The kitchen delivered breakfast at 0600. The airman brought it in to the prisoner. He began eating at 0620 and became unresponsive by 0625.”

“Did you check the camera feeds for anything unusual?”

“Done it, sir. This has to be a professional hit. We also checked the camera feed in the kitchen and don’t see anything unusual.”

“How many trays were prepared today?”

“Besides this one, fourteen to the medical center.”

“Does this one stand out in any way? How do you identify them?”

“Each tray gets labeled because of the special diets in the clinic. This one simply said, prisoner.”

“What about the delivery truck and driver?”

“Nothing unusual so far, sir. We’re going over every inch of footage.”

“All right. Call me if you find anything.”

“Copy that, sir. I’m sorry I let you down.”

“You didn’t let me down, Gruner. We just got too close to the Lion, andhe sent a clear message.”

“Sir?”

“No one will stand in his way.”
