In Bob's first crime-fiction novel, The National Bet (November 2014), FBI Special Agent "Joe-L" Wilson leads the investigation into the mysterious deaths of thousands of Americans during the Fourth of July weekend. The biggest challenge of Joe-L's law enforcement career, the investigation becomes personal for him after he realizes he shares one thing in common with those who died: The National Bet. In Bob's second nonfiction book, The Clapper Memo (May 2013), he offers irrefutable evidence of an unconventional war being waged by polygraph loyalists against all challengers to their century-old credibility assessment technology. Among those involved in this "turf war" is Director of National Intelligence James R. Clapper Jr., the nation's top intelligence official. In Bob's first nonfiction book, Three Days In August (October 2011), he chronicles the life story and wrongful conviction of Sgt. 1st Class Kelly A.
