Under Seal

This book contains sex, greed, government corruption, and murder. This begins in the quiet setting of Blount County, Alabama, home of one James Rhodes, a.k.a. Rhodi. He is a strong character who has suffered a painful romance that ended in divorce. He stays close to his former wife to be near his children. He took early retirement from the Department of Justice avoiding government corruption, to move from Washington DC to Blount County Alabama where he grew up. Shortly after his return to the rural life, he discovered that the corruption he left behind begun to creep in to his hometown. In the course of helping a friend, from the J. B. Pennington High School in Blountsville Alabama, Rhodi unwittingly puts his children in danger. It is after placing his family in witness protection that Rhodi steps outside of the limits of the law to find justice for all involved. It is only with the help of a military assets that Rhodi was able to spoil a federal judge's plan to start her own civil war in modern day America. This is a fictional novel written by Kelly Patrick Riggs. It was inspired by his own experiences in Alabama, yet he has taken great liberties with the with reality. James Rhodes a.k.a. Rhodi does not exist, nor do the other characters in this book. Many accurate details of the Alabama area are used to add a sense of realism. Although this book seems so real that you would expect to meet its characters in downtown Birmingham, it is a product of Mr. Riggs's imagination.
