The book contains three tales of suspense which show the author's creativity and expansive imagination. Story One is "Home Improvement." Herein, pertinent events occur in places as varied as Sydney, Australia; Tele Aviv, Israel; and Baton Rouge, Louisiana. From each locale, certain individuals find themselves united against their will in a frightening experience. In time they find that each member in the group of five has special attributes beyond ordinary human beings. Story Two, "That Good Image" describes how the will and resolve of two distinctly different individuals are pitted in a contest of endurance. But it is no fight to the death or anything of the sort. In fact the two are engaged in an activity that has promise to benefit them both significantly. That's if they can get pass their differences in value systems. As Mr. Redd tells his wife at one point in the story: "Whites is whites and coloreds is coloreds, Ruthie, and that's just the way it is." Finally, Story Three tells the tale of a middle aged woman who has experienced a long series of unfortunate trials in her life. Now, she feels compelled to blow the whistle on some rather unsavory practices of a quartet of her friends. She sets up another occasion to be interviewed by a police officer. But Detective Stephanie Mousse is very leery of accounts rendered by the informant. Most likely, the reader will never guess until the end where this story is headed.
