This is the third story involving the characters of Major Sam Call (retired), and David Lytle, former military and private
investigator. Set in Highlands, North Carolina, Honor For Sale, is a story of the peaceful life of a small, resort town in the
Smokey Mountains, the sometimes-cutthroat Real Estate business, and lastly the power of money and its effects on
even the most honorable.
Set in the year 2000, Sam Call is shocked when his daughter is found murdered along with her much older live-in boy
friend, of whom Sam does not approve. The nature of the crime, and the unaccounted for behavior of the murdered man,
leads the local police to determine the murders were drug related. Sam and Mary are devastated by the death of their
daughter, but unbelieving of the police chief’s findings in the case. Calling on his old friend and business partner, Sam
sets out to find the truth. What he finds is that money, sex, and loneliness can take even an honorable person to places
they would have never dreamed possible of going.
The story Honor For Sale explores Highlands North Carolina. It provides an intimate view of real people and the real life
goings on of a resort town, including the infighting and struggle between those trying to keep it a ‘small town’ and those
who want to make it the “Aspen of the East.’ This story again explores the true and powerful relationship between Sam
and his wife. The many years together have not dimmed the passion or the banter between these two lovers. What is
new is the heartbreak and vengeance brought on by this murder tragedy.
Honor For Sale brings together the military team from Tenth Man and Very Public Data, to investigate, discover and
extract an accounting of the crimes committed upon Sam’s family. The military team shows its loyalty and life-long
commitment to each other, and how the bond of honor among soldiers and their families transcends time, position, and
status. Honor For Sale shows not only the sinister side of life that has become all too common, but also the joys of life
as developed through comradely, love, and respect as given by people of character and honor.
