| Publisher Description: Diversion is about the opioid crisis, illegal drugs, murder, a missing girl, the Bonnaroo music Festival, and a plot to shut down American military drones. The drug crisis is fueled by the illegal use of pain medications like Percocet and Fentanyl. Until recently, pill mills in Florida were where you went for a prescription. Now those drugs are moving to rural Middle Tennessee. The bucolic area around Manchester and Tullahoma, Tennessee, has become infested with pill mills selling prescriptions for cash. That area is home to the Bonnaroo Music Festival and the propulsion test facilities at the Arnold Air Force Base that are essential to keep military drones flying in the war against terrorism. Both the Bonnaroo fans and the testing facilities are targets the country's enemies are willing to die for. A call for help from an old family friend puts Mark Rollins and his team of crime fighters squarely in the middle of it all. It was a simple enough request. All Rollins had to do was drive to the jail in Manchester, collect the girl, and take her home to her frantic mother. But, the girl wasn't there What had seemed simple quickly became dangerously complicated. Diversion--the opioid crisis, illegal drugs, murder, a missing girl, Bonnaroo, and a plot to shut down American military drones. |
Contributor Bio(s): Collins, Tom: - The London-based publication Citytech called him an "outstanding individual and visionary" when M. Thomas (Tom) Collins was named as one of the Top 100 Global Tech Leaders. Tom is also the recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award from the US publication Law Technology News for his contribution to the use of technology in the legal community. Although now retired from the commercial world, he continues to write and speak on leadership as well as managing for excellence and pen his series of Mark Rollins adventure mysteries. Tom Collins earned his Master's Degree from the University of Alabama in 1965 and began his career as a CPA with Price Waterhouse (now Price Waterhouse Coopers). He left Price Waterhouse in 1968 to pursue the emerging business opportunity that followed IBM's consent decree allowing the use of IBM computers for the purpose of providing services. It was the birth of the information technology industry. After serving as one of the principals of Compass, Inc., and then Vice President of NLT Computer Services, he joined with four associates to found the public company Endata, Inc. After leaving Endata, Collins began Juris, Inc. in March 1986. When Juris was purchased by LexisNexis, it had become the leading U.S. provider of financial and business information systems for multi-partner law firms.
