ABOUT THE SERIES

Cutter Grogan is a private investigator.

Not licensed, mind you. His history makes getting a permit from the state of New York, where he calls home and spends a lot of his time when he is not abroad, very difficult. A stint in prison will do that. Instead of a sheet of embossed paper hanging on a wall with his name on it, he works in, and half owner of, a one-man agency his friend Arnedra inherited from her late husband. Since he cannot legally refer to himself as a private eye like I just did, he answers the question of what his job was by saying he was a 'fixer'.

A couple of interesting buzz lines given about Grogan and his adventures tell us: "When the system fails, Cutter Grogan steps in." and "He served in the world's most dangerous hotspots and sacrificed everything for his country. His military file has more redactions than words." I particularly like that last part. Also: "The media calls him The Fixer. He uses his specialist skills to help those whom the system let down." And finally another good one with: "No one does vengeance like Cutter Grogan. He's made it part of his Fixing business."

Grogan, a former Delta Force operative who made an impressive name for himself in the Middle East fighting terror cells stands 6'1" and maintains an impressive physique. "Styled, dark hair. Green eyes. Clean-shaven ... Because of his deep tan, he could easily pass for someone from the Mediterranean region. Or the Middle East, South America, North Africa-a vast range of geographies." Could and has, including going undercover for two years in a super-max prison on behalf of his nation and in order to survive there, took the identity of a Daesh captured in a raid.

When he completed his last mission for the government and decided to start a new life as a fixer in New York, he had thought he put all that behind him and for a large degree he has. Several of the adventures we follow him on are outside the parameters of this compendium but enough are not that he belongs here and even when he is not helping out some government agency or other, his actions seem to find in the thick of things.

1 Break Break
Written by Ty Patterson

"When a mother wants him to free her son from the grasp of drug dealers, it sounds like a simple assignment. Knock some heads, give a stern talking to the delinquent. Walk away. But nothing's ever that simple. When the most vicious gang in New York is involved in a conspiracy that can destroy the country's foundations, he has a choice to make. He can back off. Or, he can clean up. The decision, again, is simple."

"The call comes just as Cutter Grogan, the Fixer, has completed yet another mission. Arnedra Jones, his business partner and friend, has been killed in LA. He can mourn and let the LAPD investigate the murder. That's not who he is, though. He decides to take a hand and finds himself in a world of vicious gangs, suspicious allies and a fight he's made his own. Alone, outgunned and outnumbered by a significant margin, Cutter can back down and walk away. Or, he can start a war."

5 Paris Paris
Written by Ty Patterson
Copyright: 2021

"It isn't an assignment Cutter would normally take on; go to Paris to speak to an informer he knows nothing about. The FBI has ordered him to, however. Which means whatever intel she has, is critical. Fly in, talk to her, fly out, report back to the Feds. A two day job, he reckons. No sweat. He loves Paris and looks forward to his visit. The first inkling he has that the assignment isn't a walk in the park, are the gunmen who burst through his hotel room."

Unidentifiable people are tailing him. And that's not to mention the thugs who attacked him in New York soon after his meeting with Jenna.

7 Primer Primer
Written by Ty Patterson

"Cutter Grogan had an uneasy relationship with law enforcement. The police had rules. He had none. And so he was surprised when NYPD Detective Gina Difiore and FBI SAC Peyton Quindica came to him for help. He couldn't refuse. They were his closest friends even though they wouldn't hesitate to nail his ass if they had proof of his law-breaking. The case led him to the underbelly of the country, where national and international politics, killers and technology conspired."

Written by Ty Patterson

"Eight-year-old Thabo Nkosi was killed in Cape Town. His body was found in a field by the side of the expressway. His father's body was next to his. Just another crime statistic, the SAPP police commissioner thought. The news reached Cutter Grogan. He set off for the African continent. Setting off a crime wave that Cape Town hadn't seen in years."
