I’m a disabled Vietnam Marine Veteran. After I was discharge, I was a long-haul truck driver. When my Vietnam injury forced me to stop working. I was trying to figure out what’s next. In 1997, I moved to Colorado. I was in bad shape. I had a job with the Colorado Food Stamp, where they sold Food Stamps. The office would collect close to $100,000.00. I was thinking of a way to rob it. I went on vacation to New Hampshire. I was with my brother in-law for an alibi. My wife found out about it. So, my life of crime ended before it started. My wife tried to get me to write a book, instead of going and robbing the place. I tried, but I couldn’t get motivated. Back to truck driving. We moved back to New Jersey and went back to truck diving, after 35 years of driving my injury had gotten worse. In 1996 I got divorced. I remarried and moved to Pennsylvania. I was still trying to figure out what I was going to do. I’m not young anymore. I always love old classic detective movies. Like The THIN MAN, MICK Spillane, CHARLY CHAN, and others. So, I thought that I would write a book as a detective and a WWI Veteran. That’s when I made up the name “JAY JAX 1936”. I wrote the book and to my surprise people actually liked it. So, now I’m A published writer.

JAY JAX, Mike Morris, and Anthony Mattola were three friends of the Great War. Jay was from New Jersey. Mike was from San Francisco. Tony was an Opera singer from Milan, Italy. After the war, each went their separate ways. Jay became a Woodbridge, New Jersey, cop. Mike was a cop in San Francisco, and Tony went back to the opera.
Eighteen years later, all three lives become intertwined. Jay moved to San Francisco after Mike offered him a job on the San Francisco Police Department. In 1932, Jay was seriously wounded during a shootout with a Canadian bootlegger. After a year convalescing, he became a Private Investigator. In June 1936, he was a witness to a suicide. Or was it? It will take Jay on a 3,956-mile train trip to find the answer.
