Las Vegas, NV -- (SBWire) -- 11/20/2012 --When describing our life-stories, many will be picky about what information they volunteer. However, for the protagonist in the latest novel by Darlien C. Breeze, his choice to withhold information could cost him his reputation.

‘A Life of Crime’ takes readers deep into the world of the world and mind of an old Lawman who sees no opportunity as wasted.

Synopsis:

“Straight arrow Lawman, Josh Cummings retrieves over a million dollars from a snow filled gorge and keeps it. As he relates his most interesting cases from fifty plus years in law enforcement to two young reporters, Steve Simon and George Smitts he conveniently leaves this part out. Over a period of weeks, the reporters ply Josh with very expensive cigars and Jack Daniels while gathering information for a book about his life.

Each chapter is a stand-alone story running the gamut from dark comedy to crime thriller. The reader has a glimpse of the old lawmans inner thoughts as he deals with people in every strata of life. He has dealt with the very wealthy while struggling to make do on an underpaid public servants salary.”

“It showcases, with stark detail, the struggle each person living in the face of temptation must face,” says Breeze.

She continues, “Readers quickly learn that how we deal with temptation defines our true character.”

Since its release, the book has enjoyed much acclaim. However, this isn’t Breeze’s first literary success. In fact, she has a number of previous titles to her name.

“The beauty of fiction is that it can transport us all to places and positions we’re unlikely to ever experience. My books embody the power this gives a writer – and there are many more works to come in the future,” she adds.
