***Please be advised that ‘Eyes of the Predator’ is an intense, realistic and sometimes graphic portrayal of victimization.***
Eyes scanning, searching, the predator sits motionless in a parking lot. His next victim is only feet away. Within hours a backwater south Georgia county will be rocked by two seemingly unrelated murders that signal the arrival of a serial killer in the rural southland.
Hunting the killer and preventing the next brutal murder falls to a plainspoken country deputy and two agents of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI). The chase leads north from the swamps along the Florida line to the foothills of the Appalachians.
GBI agents Bob Shaklee and Sharon Price know that Deputy George Mackey is a natural hunter and if anyone can find the sadistic killer, Mackey can. But Mackey, haunted by his own demons can only wonder if he will be late again. It is his greatest fear.
His father’s work as a salesman filled Glenn’s early years with moves from the banks of the Chattahoochee River in Georgia to Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Petersburg, Virginia and Baltimore, until finally returning to the Atlanta area in 1965. From then on, he remained a Georgian, going to school and growing up in the Atlanta area.
His varied work and life experiences gave Glenn an appreciation for the virtues and faults of people at all levels of society. He has worked beside laborers, scuffled with bad guys, and stood beside presidents at corporate events. This exposure to such disparate groups exerts a strong influence on his writing. Hard working construction laborers, truck drivers, and farmers fill his pages alongside law enforcement officers, small town politicians and corporate bigwigs in leather chairs, filling boardrooms with their egos. He finds people interesting, at all levels of society. Respecting the strengths of people and understanding of their human frailties, his desire above all in writing is to bring life and reality to the characters in his books, exposing readers in a real way to a side of life and our society with which they may not be familiar.
There is an honest simplicity and grittiness to the characters in his books. The white hats the heroes wear are spotted and grayed by their own demons and struggles. The bad guys are not always misunderstood Robin Hoods. Sometimes they are just truly bad with no possibility of social redemption. In the end, the books are fiction, about fictional people. His desire is to bring a believable reality to the characters that populate the pages.
The characters he paints are not completely good and rarely completely evil. Like most of us, they lie somewhere in between.
