Synopsis: A troubled youth, Randy Curtis, takes things as they come and deals with them as any young street punk does, violently. When he is adopted by a well-known psychiatrist who vows to help him, little does he know that his violent tendencies will be used as a means for murder when Curtis reaches adulthood. Seduction and death follow Randy Curtis and his aliases around the country and over a span of ten years while Detective Rudy Augur methodically searches to find this killer, who seems to seduce young starlets at will. How many will he kill? How can a man who disappears into thin air be found? Will Curtis make a mistake and lead Augur to his Capture? Follow this tale of exploitation, deception, sex, and murder as it entwines and unravels only to leave you wondering.
Autobiography: I grew up in a small town in North Central Michigan and began playing golf at the age of eight. As a teenager, I played competitively and continued to do so in college and the US Army from 1969 to 1971. In 1974, I became a PGA Golf Professional and spent 30 years
teaching nearly 30,000 golf lessons to players of all levels. In 2003, I invented a putting aid called The PuttingTemplate (www.theputtingtemplate.com). In 2008, I joined my wife in the insurance industry, and together we own CCIS Insurance Group, a retail agency in Fresno, CA. Now, at age 77, I still play golf regularly and write sparingly.
