A tragic death takes place on the beach of Santa Cruz, California
on the occasion of a USO dance during the last days of World War
II. The incident involves three young sailors, close friends for
years, who try to cover up what happened. News of the atomic bomb
destroying Hiroshima overshadows the investigation which then lies
dormant for years until a retiring sheriff reopens the case.
Circumstances haunt the three dispersed suspects who believed that
their part in the incident was well behind them. "Incident in Santa
Cruz" is a mystery and Jack Petro's third book. "No Ordinary Spy"
chronicles his exploits as a US Navy Classified Materials Courier
during the Korean War. "Santa Line Murder" is a journal of his
notes taken during his tenure as foreman of the jury in one of
Cleveland's most famous murders. Jack is a WWII Navy Pacific and
Korea War Sixth Fleet veteran. In his 38 years with General
Electric, he managed several manufacturing facilities. He now
operates a Web Site where he critiques live theatre in North
Central Florida. Also to his credit are numerous awards for short
stories including "The Princess" which made the top 100 list in the
79th Writers Digest Writing Competition. Jack lives in The Villages
of Florida with his darling wife, Jan.
