A member of the Naval Institute, Dewey Lambdin makes his home in Nashville, Tennessee.JOHN LEE's highly innovative work in the fields of emotional intelligence, anger management, and emotional regression has made him an in-demand consultant, teacher, trainer, coach, and speaker.

He currently resides on breathtaking Lookout Mountain in Mentone, Alabama with his three happy dogs.
I will be assuming that you have read the prior books in this series therefore there will be at least minor spoilers for those earlier books.

Reliably readable. I'm reasonably sure that there is some repeated material, and different readers will be looking for thrills in different places, but I am amazed (and amused) to see how well Dewey sustains the storyline while developing the main characters, especially our doughty hero, Alan Lewrie......more

Another great read from Dewey I'm hooked for the rest of Lewrie!. I can't ever get enough.blah blah blah blah blah and more blah blah. Who thought up the number of words requirement for a review should be carted.......more
