Criminal Agenda

Salt Lake City, Utah in 1983 is a beautiful and vibrant metropolis with patrolmen on foot, bars were regulated by the drinks they were allowed to sell, and the licenses cost accordingly. Beer bars sold domestic brands, mixers, and wine coolers, but you provided the liquor.

Shopping was done at the local department store, furniture store or, the Crossroad’s Mall, ZCMI Center (Zion’s Co-operative Mercantile Institution), or Trolley Square, and pagers and payphones were the tech of the day. Imagine no laptops, or cell phones. No Google, Suri, or GPS. You have to read a map, and you ride a bus wherever you needed to go for about thirty-five cents one way.
This is the world of Amanda Granger until her ex-husband sells her to a local drug dealer to try to turn her into the man’s personal money maker. Now she meets the darker side of humanity, and must decide who she can, or cannot, trust, and she discovers there are hidden wars no one sees.

In this first in the series, she finds herself the attraction of an attacker who continues to invade her home, and a drug dealer slash pimp who has decided she challenged him too many times by refusing to work in his stable. From Salt Lake City to Park City in Utah to Reno, Nevada, she struggles to maintain her sanity and find a way home. Two Salt Lake City's police officers' are trying to track her and are further hampered by a lack of solid leads. DNA is not being used yet and they must find him with good old-fashioned police work.

With her abduction the police concentrate their efforts on locating and freeing her unaware that her ex-husband has followed her. She meets a gentleman's gentleman named Jeremy who’s real job is to help women like her escape the men you attempt to sell them into slavery. The men from Salt Lake City arrive in Reno and Jeremy turns evidence over to the officers' and they can now bring her original abductor in and free her. With plans finally coming together, the Reno, Nevada arm of the syndicate sticks their nose into it.

A final dramatic scene where the syndicate sends their men in one more time and her ex-husband tries to grab her and from Jeremy’s private estate outside Cedar City, Utah. With his plot foiled, she is finally able to go home. For a while anyway.

Agenda criminala Salt Lake City, Utah, in 1983, este o metropola frumoasa si vibranta, cu patruleri pe jos, barurile erau reglementate de bauturile pe care li se permitea sa le vanda, iar licentele costa in consecinta. Barurile de bere vandeau marci interne, mixere si racitoare de vin, dar tu ati furnizat lichiorul.
