Red Flagged Joe Bailey

In the darkness of an early fall morning a group of heavily armed men, who wore dark clothes with no identifying marks, broke down the front door of the remote ranch home of Mark and Charlotte Barlow. Charlotte, thinking it was a home invasion, met the intruders and attempted to defend her home and two children. The men were actually a local SWAT team, sent on illegal orders to "red flag" the Barlow family. During the fray, Charlotte Barlow was wounded and Jake. her three year old son was killed. The "no knock" warrant was based on the lies of a wealthy neighbor who wanted to buy the Barlow ranch. And, when Mark refused to sell, the neighbor filed false charges and then called upon the county judge and sheriff whom he had contributed money to their political campaigns. These illegal action reverberated across a two state area and brought on the wrath of mark Barlow's brothers John and Luke. Their actions fill this book and bring justice to the evil doers.
