What began as a time filler for Tom Griffin evolves into an exciting series of short stories, THE JAKE BENNETT ADVENTURES. A young bi rookie cop from the sticks encounters murder, corruption, and sexual thrills within the concrete jungle of Los Angeles. Jake soon has a boyfriend and a girlfriend, and a killer on his trail. In terror of being outed, Jake tries to keep his various lovers secret from each other: but inevitably his different worlds collide. Exiled, humiliated, and alone, the young ex-cop moves to the swinging city of San Francisco, where he finds a new lover, starts a new career, and begins his life over. As Tom's writing evolves, his hero Jake finds love as well as too much liquor. By the time he's ordered into rehab, Jake must uncover the answers to his long-buried family secrets, hoping they hold the key to his addiction. As the series comes to its climax, dilettante author Tom Griffin has become a serious novelist, and you will never forget his exciting and deeply moving adventures with Jake Bennett. The Center for Restoration is a philanthropic humanist foundation invented by Bayla Dornon, in his previous series, "The Restoration Series". bayladornon.com
