Gapp's Generation - Hardcover

by Wade Powers (Author)

John Gapp lives in Seattle, Washington as a retired and decorated police officer. A series of personal tragedies has left the man as a frightened soul and an agoraphobic. One highlight of Gapp's life is his radio show, which is broadcast from a studio that is adjacent to his apartment. Crime on Ice, is a hit and has just been syndicated. While working through his demons of the present, an old one comes calling. A serial killer of children that Gapp had almost apprehended in Vietnam in 1968 is up to his old game again. In 2008, he attempts to draw John Gapp out of hiding for one last showdown. At age sixty-two, the former detective must make the choice if he is to face the world and attempt to bring down this dark angel of death. Can Gapp stand on the sidelines while more young lives are destroyed?
