An Orange Wild Rooster

About the Book

An Orange Wild Rooster is the first in a series of four Bo Rohas adventure novels, filled with non-stop action. In his first adventure, Bo Rohas was a homicide detective in a small town in southeastern Texas. From that point he turned electrical construction worker back to homicide detective once again in an attempt to track down and catch, maim or kill the murderers of a woman he thought the world of and one of his best friends and mentor. This trek takes Bo Rohas from the southern states to Las Vegas , Nevada to the Bahamas in his quest for answers. His life takes a drastic turn due to his entanglement with a lady by the name of Jodie Fisk. Jodie, who holds double masters degrees, is sister to Jim Fisk, owner of the Rainbow Bar and ex-partner of Bo Rohas.

The story has a southern flavor, with such characters as Frenchie Trahan, a wealthy Cajun shrimper who can barely speak English, to Peaches Goff, a beautiful 40 year old southern belle, engaged in the business of raising Basset hounds for a living, while catching the eye of one of the other major characters. Mixing in three corrupt union officials and one corrupt banker would probably be enough. However, when you factor in a huge drug smuggling family who control the largest drug, prostitution and money laundering ring, it really gets exciting. Add in southern humor and you have an adventurous, funny, sensual, fast paced, exciting novel you will not want to put down.

This exciting adventure also sets the atmosphere that leads up to the new and completely different position offered to Bo Rohas as he embarks on his second adventure, "Justice Old Testament Style."

About the Author

R.L.Mondey was born and raised in a small town in Southeast Texas, close to the Louisiana border. After leaving the service in 1969 his preferable and intended plans were to go to a police academy and eventually become a Texas Ranger. Being married to his first wife at the time and a possible future family on the horizon, he was dissuaded about attending the academy by his father, who knew R.L. would not be able to treat all assailants equal, as a police officer was expected to do. Compliments of the U.S. Government, R.L. had been taught to act out of instinct with techniques and a mindset not conducive with the patience required to let justice run its natural course, which was required for police work. He knew if R.L. happened upon a rapist or child molester in progress, neither of the aforementioned would make it to the station house in one piece, thus the wrong person ending up in jail. Consequently, R.L. worked the oil field related entities around the Gulf Coast, including refineries, and became an electrical construction worker/ supervisor, taking to the road and working jobs from coast to coast, where he was able to meet people that helped shape the characters in his novels. He now lives in Las Vegas with his wife of 19 years, writing his novels and taking on projects where he serves as an electrical construction defect expert witness.
