For five days in Disneyland everything we did required us to stand in line and weave our way through a roped or chain maze. Everything. Food, rides, bathroom, you name it. In fact, people were so used to standing in line that if you just started a line in a random place, people would soon start lining up behind you. This actually happened. We had seven in our group and we were talking to a Disney Cast Member, asking her a question. We were kinda in a line, so people started filing behind us. I thought this was rather strange since there were other cast members around if they had a question as well. After a few minutes I overheard one person ask what the line was for, and the other guest responded that they weren’t sure. I turned around and told them we were just asking a question about the rides. They looked at me a bit irritated and left. Sorry.

The Templar Map (The Detectives Book 1)
by K.R. Hill
(34 Reviews)
Genre: Action & Adventure | Literature & Fiction | Mystery
FREE for a limited time
The FBI is searching for it.
Israeli agents are killing people to find it.
The criminal organization that got cheated out of it, is looking for blood.
Into the office of Private Detective Jason Dalton, walks a beautiful widow with a clue to the location of a priceless Templar map.
Dalton had an office in one of those old buildings downtown. You know the type, built in the twenties with a marble staircase, a huge lobby that smelled old and stale, a broken elevator with brass fixtures. Dalton and young Nick, his assistant, were working nickel and dime stuff: missing persons, insurance fraud, and rounding up a fugitive here and there.
Then she arrived. Dalton heard heels clicking on the tile landing, and looked up from his desk. Into his office walked a redhead with an envelope full of cash. As she crossed the room in that tight skirt, his mouth dropped open.
Mrs. Sophie Devonshire had been attacked. Her home had been burglarized. It all started, she said, when she found a photo of an old map among her late husband’s things. Could Mr. Dalton help her find the real map?
But the case seemed too good. Somebody was going to a lot of trouble to get Dalton involved. Could it be a trap? Then he found a tracking devise on his coat, and two military thugs burst through the weapons drawn.
What was Dalton getting into?
