About the Book
Title: Amongst the Killing
Author: Joe Compton
Genre: Crime Thriller
For as long as he could remember,
Detective Charles Street wanted to be a police officer, moreover a
detective. He wanted to be knee-deep in the action, working the biggest
cases, and reaping the biggest rewards. But he didn’t think when his
dream job came calling that it would ever turn into his nightmare.
For as long as he could remember, Jack
Casey just wanted to be free, his own man to do what he pleased, when he
pleased. He too craved action, and when his dream life came calling, he
didn’t think he would meet anyone who was his equal, and definitely
didn’t think he would ever have difficulty leaving behind the world he
loathed and mocked.
Amongst The Killing documents
both of their stories, told in their own words, as the moments unfolded
when their paths first crossed and their lives intersected. How could
two men, with two different philosophies, be so different and yet so
connected?
As the ultimate cat and mouse game
unfolds, each has to deal separately with the other’s decisions and the
effects they have in turning their lives sideways and upside-down. Will
one of them crack? Will one of them succeed? Ultimately, the journey
may mean more than the game, and show both of them the outcome neither
was ever expecting.
Author Bio
Born
in Hawthorne, CA in December of 1973 Joe grew up in Southern
California; the majority of that spent in Torrance, CA. Writing has
always been that thing he could do at an early age. He spent many a
summer stints with his Grandma and Aunt where he was left mostly to his
imagination and would escape by writing scenes and short stories;
then acting them out in the backyard. Sometimes bringing in his brother
to help act or just be an audience member. Then when his mother went
back to work, Joe would spend the summer with his brother, write scripts
( even before he knew what a screenplay was), and perform all the
characters for his brother. Joe went on to South Torrance High School
and while he wasnt the world’s best student, he did manage to have
3 short stories published in the school’s annual creative anthology.
They were mostly horror driven, in the vein of Poe or Lovecraft. It
would be Joe’s first published works. One of those stories Joe would end
up turning into a screenplay and short film. Joe served his country in
the United States Marines for 4 years, were he wrote the very first
draft of Amongst the Killing. Once he was out of the Marines Joe moved to Denver, got another short story published in a underground magazine called Harvest Moon, a sort of reader’s digest for Horror fans. Joe started writing screenplays and decided he would like to try making movies. He shot his first movie, Karl’s Liquor in 2001 ; which had one screening and one screening ever, at the awesome, world famous Mercury Cafe in Denver, CO in August of 2001. You can still see the trailer on youtube. Joe went on to make 2 more short films, Devilwind and aforementioned (short story turned into movie) Out of Range. Joe at one time had a deal in place with a publishing company to publish Amongst the Killing but
didn’t want to change the principle concept and thus walked away. Now a
few years later he has started this company and decided to his first
release would be Amongst the Killing . In 2010 Joe met the
love of his life, his wife Shawna. Knowing that they will have children
very soon he wanted to have something to hand over to his child, should
they want it. So he felt the time was now to do this.
