Doug McPheters
In the next exciting thriller by Doug McPheters, "Stepping on Fingers", Lea Holderness, a young teacher in far Northern New York, was sent to a penal colony on a remote island in the Chukchi Sea, north of Russia, by an American religious court for speaking out against intrusive new Federal laws.
The Movement, which fights attempts of the Federal government to infringe basic freedoms, helped her escape the prison colony.
Upon her return to America, Lea rescues her young daughter from Federal clutches. In return, she joined the Movement's drive to stifle the Federal government's unpopular plans to erase many Constitutional rights, often in dangerous ways.
Tactics Teams Talk
Tactics Teams Talk Police Managing Crises
Gerald Gregory Doane
In the Fall of 1973, Detective Harvey Schlossberg, PhD, and Lt. Frank Bolz, both New York Police Department (NYPD) visionaries, brought their magic to the San Francisco Police Department’s (SFPD) Police Academy, at my request, so that we mere mortals could learn the trade of dealing with terrorists, criminal hostage-takers, and your average human in some sort of mind-bending crisis.
It has taken me the bulk of fifty years to put together the teachings of Harvey, Frank, and many, many others (including my own teaching, writing and field experiences) into a three subject treatise called, TACTICS – TEAMS – TALK, Police Managing Crises.
The first subject is TACTICS.
The second subject is TEAMS.
The third subject is TALK.
So, this is my story and I’ll be sticking to it, hopefully in plain English and in abbreviated form so we call all understand the processes involved. But before we start, bear with me while I define some terms we will be using throughout our work.

A Stunning new profile of the California Zodiac Executioner, his motive revealed.
Gerald Gregory Doane
In October 1969 I was one of twenty-five or more San Francisco Police Department (SFPD) officers who responded to the murder of a Yellow Cab driver in the Presidio Heights district of San Francisco. Investigators later attributed the murder to the so-called Zodiac killer.
Long after my police career, I began studying five Zodiac cases, his phone calls, and his written communications. I concluded that the motive in four of the murder and attempted murder cases consisting of Lake Herman, Blue Rock Springs, Lake Berryessa, and the Presidio Heights district in San Francisco, involving a total of seven victims, were cases of displaced or redirected aggression. Follow my leads and come to your own conclusion.
