DEREK STRONG PI

About the Book

Created by President Richard Nixon, OSHA strikes fear in the bravest businessman and not unlike Orwell's "Big Brother" and the German Gestapo can haul you into Federal court before a Magistrate and fine you $50,000 and close down your business for not posting their warnings and directives where all your employees can see their "rights" with regard to lifting, bending, typing, hand washing, and use of industrials solvents etc., etc. and on and on. OSHA are real. They are not fiction.

Private Detective Derek Strong, a.k.a. THE OSHA MAN, meets Criminal Defense lawyer Sandara Lerner for the first time and is hired to investigate the murders of Lola Whitely and Roberto Allen at the El Cyuga mall and housing project in southwest Houston. Fee for service and cash up front, Dirk lands in an armored car heist, bank robbery, earth quake, hurricane, torrential flood, drug war shoot out, drug bust, and an assassin from Canada wanted by Interpol.

Satisfied with his performance, Sandra hires Dirk to investigate the disappearance of Arab Anesthesiologist Shari Lanka and the serial murders and mutilations of three black coeds from Saint Nicholas University. WARNING: Violence, profanity, and erotica Okay for dummies.
