About the author
Murder is Don Trimble's third novel. Hybris and the sequel to Hybris, Eviction Notice, were his first two. Murder takes a turn away from the mildly science fiction topic of Trimble's first two novels and focuses on today. Quint and Doris Ursini awaken to the horror of being handcuffed to their respective beds that are located in a "care" facility. Quint soon finds out that he and the others in the care unit are awaiting their "final shot"—euthanasia. One of the doctors in the facility takes a liking to Quint and enjoys having long discussions with this soon-to-be legally-murdered former casino hotel owner.
Having owned four major casino hotels in Vegas, Quint had prepared for unknown disasters; however, being held for the final shot was not on his list of possibilities. Under false charges of tax evasion and skimming, Quint and Doris' hotels, homes, and properties were illegally confiscated by joint cooperation of the IRS, Department of Justice, and the Nevada Gaming Commission, to cover the erroneous fines, fees, and past due taxes. The Ursinis were never given a chance to defend themselves or their properties. All bank accounts were seized and medical files sealed. They were assigned a number in lieu of their names. Does the term, Auschwitz, come to mind? This is the Affordable Care Act's ultimate goal in action—population control, property confiscation, and redistribution; abort the unborn, and euthanize the old.
