A riveting, action-packed, murder mystery novel by a retired Green Beret. Drowning Creek is not just for fans of the action adventure genre, but for anyone who appreciates a good tall tale. Peter Crittenden is the son of an Australian ex-patriot who grew up in Sumatra, Bangladesh and Thailand in the 1960s and 1970s before joining the US Army Special Forces. During the course of his military career, Pete travelled extensively throughout the world gaining additional experience in Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, Australia, and the Americas, and speaks four languages; English, Spanish, French, and Thai. Pete also had the privilege of serving as a survival instructor at the John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. Since retiring from the military, Pete has worked as a security consultant and personnel recovery advisor for government agencies and corporate clients. Needless to say, Pete is a professional outdoorsman that has been practicing bushcraft and wilderness survival skills during a lifelong journey beginning with the foundation laid as a child growing up in Southeast Asia and later enhanced and further refined throughout his training and experience as a Special Forces Noncommissioned Officer. Pete is married to an accomplished artist and they have two children.
