HONOLULU, HI, May 06, 2013 (Press-News.org) Seeking a mid-life adventure, Detective Mike Granger leaves his small city police department in New Hampshire to join the little-known United Nations Police Force. While facing armed assailants and bloody riots in war-torn Kosovo, he slowly learns the skills necessary to survive. The final test will be if he and the UN Spec-Ops team he now leads can protect a young human-trafficking victim who has been targeted for death by a brutal crime boss.
Tom Donnelly has a background that includes work as a U.S. Customs officer, business intelligence analyst and trade compliance professional. He is currently working on several other novels that are in various stages of development. A graduate of Northeastern University, Tom lives with his wife, Judi, near Boston, Massachusetts.
Co-author Mike Munger is a retired police detective and paramilitary operative. He lives with his family outside Boston, MA. In the summer of 2001 he deployed for 13 months as a United Nations Police Officer in Kosovo. After September 11th, he served as a U.N. Special Operations Team leader. Mike is currently working as a private security contractor for a company based in South Carolina. He and Savant author Tom Donnelly were college roommates.
"Our story depicts the risks and sacrifices of a small and unsung force of dedicated police officers," says Donnelly. "They represented, and still represent, departments from all over the world with a common goal of preserving the peace after destructive conflicts."
Munger agrees. "It was an honor for us to write this story."
"Blessed are the Peacekeepers" by Tom Donnelly and Mike Munger - 296 pages - 6" x 9" Trade Book - Color Softcover. ISBN 978-0-9886640-0-5. Suggested retail price $16.95. Released in May 2013 by Savant Books and Publications, Honolulu, Hawaii, USA.
