It's never too late...
His favourite light reading comprised the four large volumes of The Science of Police Detection and at thirty-four he had passed all his examinations and could be promoted at once.
But Superintendent William McIntosh, Head of the C.I.D., has no intention of giving Detective Sergeant Kenneth MacDonald a promotion - not just yet.
Kenneth is desperate to get his promotion to inspector, and he's willing to do anything it takes to get it, even though many believe he lacks the 'human touch.'
In order to gain his promotion, he is given the task of protecting Miss Veronica Jane MacKay from an unidentified criminal known as "the Actor" from the O'Sullivan gang in New York.
Veronica Jane is everything Kenneth doesn't understand about women.
She is brave, feisty, and gorgeous.
Most importantly, she is young and reckless and it is Kenneth's duty to protect her.
In his journey to finally unmask "the Actor", Kenneth must learn a great deal about women and the world if he is to gain the illusive promotion he so deeply desires... .
Escort To Adventure is a thrilling tale of crime, mystery and the uncontrollable force of love.
