Heartless Cruelty: a Mr. Bachman Mystery Richard W. Goffman

HEARTLESS CRUELTY is A twisted murder mystery. A passionate romance. A tale of political and moral corruption set in the not-so-idyllic Jersey shore town of Atlantis. The first in a series of novels about a complex, flawed, courageous everyday hero. William Bachman is a champion for his students, and for the real, effective, life-saving power of the written word. HEARTLESS CRUELTY will appeal to anyone who, as an adult or a teenager, has ever spent time in a high school classroom. Despite Mr. Bachman?s protestation that ??heroism is a myth ?There were protagonists, not heroes,? anyone who can recall a teacher who stood out as particularly caring and wise will recognize the potential for heroism in that iconic figure. Anyone who teaches or has taught may find something of his or her best self in Mr. Bachman. If you remember a special teacher who changed your life, you will enjoy reading HEARTLESS CRUELTY, the first book in the Mr. Bachman series.
