My Love, My Enemy is a spy thriller, a love story, and an adventure
story woven within the fabric of actual historical events during
the American Civil War. Fairfax and Cassandra love one another
deeply; however, each takes a different side during the Civil War.
Unknown to Fairfax, his wife is recruited to spy for the Union
while he serves in the Confederate Army. In studying the Civil War,
Author Joe B. Hewitt found that according to letters sent home by
soldiers, that both sides believed deeply that their cause was
just. My Love, My Enemy expresses those convictions felt by both
the North and the South. Both used the same slogan, "Our cause is
just, continue we must." My Love, My Enemy is not a sociological
treatise, although it expresses the determination of abolitionists
to end slavery and Southern plantation owners to keep it. The book
expresses the deep resentment Negros had for being forced into
slavery and their yearning for freedom. It expresses the mindset of
Southern preachers that used the Bible to justify having slaves,
and of other preachers that used the Bible to prove the opposite.
The reader can get a picture of the extreme bigotry that people
learned from childhood, and the uphill battle that non-bigoted
people faced regardless of whether black or white. My Love, My
Enemy is Joe B. Hewitt's sixth book and third novel. This book is
quite different from the first two novels. Murder on the Sky Ride
and Mystery of the Vanished Gold are murder mysteries set in 1978
and 2007.
Three robbers wearing Alfred E. Newman rubber masks rob a Dallas
bank of $20 million and several safe deposit boxes containing gold.
During the robbery a killer handcuffs two men together to a barred
gate and executes them with a .22 bullet to the head. The invasion
robbers move with military precision and vanish with the money and
gold. A newly-commissioned Texas Ranger, Hank Garcia, chases the
gold and money to Spain, South Africa, Panama. Not only is the
vanished gold a mystery, but also the motive for murder. Hank's
16-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, gets involved and vanishes. FBI
Agent Naomi Robertson works with Hank and becomes a love interest.
Some of the other characters that lend color to the story include,
Emo Etto a Nigerian soldier of fortune; Wan Ol Key, a 130-pound
martial arts expert using a Mongolian passport; Sheikha Eisha ben
Ali, wife of a mysterious Arab of questionable existence, who can
charm the gold out of men's pockets; Handsome Jorge Sanchez, a
Panamanian lover of women and gold; Nurse Alberta Shehzad whom Hank
covets; Emile Deutchmann, South African soldier of fortune; and two
beautiful young women, Gayle and Katie, who are involved more than
they know. Regardless of numerous suspects and possibilities,
Hank's excellent detective work triumphs. If you like mysteries,
action, interesting characters, frequent changes of scenes, an
adventure story with romance, but no gutter language, you will like
this novel. About the author: Joe B. Hewitt started writing as a
reporter for the Lima, Ohio, News. He covered the police beat, and
later the courthouse beat. He went under cover for three months and
did an expose of vice and crime in Lima and Allen County. During
that time his life was threatened, and he believed he needed to be
armed, but Ohio law said only sworn and bonded peace officers could
carry concealed weapons. The sheriff of nearby Auglaize County,
where Hewitt resided, appointed him a special deputy sheriff
investigator, sworn and bonded, but not paid. Hewitt was promoted
to national and international news editor and occupied the city
desk's slot from which he coordinated other editors' work. He later
was editor and publisher of three different Texas weeklies, two of
which he owned. He continued to write non-fiction books, articles
and curriculum. Murder on the Sky Ride was his first novel, which
was set in 1978 in San Marcos, Texas. This novel is set in 2007 in
Dallas, Texas, and has a second generation of characters from the
first novel.

Witnesses think the way they do, and how they can be helped to
escape the cult. The book will also give you the information you

Killers cut an amusement park sky ride cable that kills a prominent
Hispanic politician and a woman who drowns when her cable car falls
into the water. The Texas Governor orders a young Texas Ranger to
take over the investigation because he had arrested the politician
victim on drug smuggling charges. The politician's brothers stalk
the Ranger because they believe he framed their brother. A
21-year-old sky ride attendant becomes unwillingly involved, and
gets into deep trouble with the killers and the law as well. This
is an action filled detective story with bad guys who are really
bad and a clever, yet quite human detective. No graphic sex scenes
or "F" word, but macho appeal is still there. It's clean enough
that you could give it to your daughter or your mother. Other
titles that had been considered will tell you something: Trophies
(one of the characters is a compulsive trophy collector.) Homicide

but each policy has a homicide exclusion. Some of the characters:

Enrique Jr.; Steve Pierce, 21, with a prison record who is caught
up in the crime as a suspect and a victim; Thomas, law student who
became a career criminal; Hawknose, his sociopath partner; Burke
Masters, "big man in town" and obsessive compulsive trophy
collector; Ben and Johnny Diaz, amateur assassins; Two detectives,
a surly police chief, and several women you'll get to know.
