Some Things are Never Forgiven

"Some Things are Never Forgiven" is a historical thriller. Edison Andrews was born with a unique ability to observe the truth in others, which he believed was his and his alone. Just after the end of World War II, he found out that there were others with the same ability and they were pouring into Washington, DC. Told many years later by an 84 year old Edison Andrews to his 30 year old grandson, the story of the events of November 1948 tie these gifted men to the New York Mob, the White House and a search across DC for one extraordinary man. The cover-up of the events surrounding President Truman's effort to empower the United Nations was not complete until Edison unveiled the story to his grandson.

From the Back Cover

The Tale of Edison Andrews - A SEER I am apparently a very slow learner or I was so as a child. My mother used to like to tell stories about how I would ask why the color of people's eyes were changing so much. With much laughter, or fury, or exasperation, or downright anger depending upon her mood, my mother would say that I saw things that simply were not there. My mother was wrong on this one. I did see eyes change and knowing how that change worked gave me an advantage in my life. My 'gift' was turned against me and against those I loved when I was an adult, costing me everything that was dear to me. Revenge may be sweetest when cold, but I believe revenge must be exacted! Some things are never forgiven.
