About the Author :
Phillip W. Price began his law enforcement career with the City of Canton, Georgia, Police Department in late 1974 (at the age of nineteen). On January 1, 1976, Price was hired as a radio operator for the Georgia State Patrol assigned to the Headquarters Communications Center. On January 8, 1978, Price transferred to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) as a special agent. Price retired as a Special Agent in Charge (SAC) in 2006. After a stint as a traveling consultant, conducting training on methamphetamine manufacture, Price was hired as the task force commander for the Cherokee Multi-Agency Narcotics Squad (CMANS) in May of 2010. Price retired on December 17, 2021. In 2021, Price completed his first novel, "Mountain Justice." The setting for the story is the North Georgia Mountains, and the story follows a young GBI agent, Daniel Byrd, who uncovers corruption and murder in the otherwise idyllic setting. Price followed the first novel with "A Little Bit Kin," the tale of a methamphetamine cook who gets in over his head. The drug disruption scheme spirals out of control, and GBI Agent Byrd is left to pick up the pieces. Much of the novel revolves around the world of methamphetamine abuse and the lifestyle that goes with it.

Soon, Byrd ends up on the Texas/Mexican border in a fight for his life.
