Thanks to those who have purchased "Dead People, Crazy People, Drugs and Politicians" by Terry King and me.
The sequel will be out this fall. It is a doozy, as it deals with St. Tammany's very own "Fifty Shades of Grey" story--involving its misguided Sheriff, Jack Strain, a bi-sexual pedophile who ran his own recreational bondage room at his home in Abita Springs, as well as Walter Reed, Slammany's district attorney for 30 years, while propositioning every victim's mother he found attractive. This book makes Dead People look like a Hardy Boys mystery. Stay tuned.
No-Limit, Big Game Hunting in St. Tammany
“From the case files of the Concerned Citizens of St. Tammany: CCST”
A sequel to “Dead People, Crazy People, Drugs and Politicians”
By Terry King With Chris Warner Published January 2024
Political corruption is a cancer gnawing at our nation’s core. Everything good we are as a country is jeopardized when criminals get their way and impose their will against us.
Fighting elected bad actors is a second career for Terry King and his unique, trusted group of concerned citizens comprising military, law enforcement, business and legal veterans.
In the decade since convicting Louisiana’s highest-paid public official, St. Tammany Parish Louisiana Coroner, Peter Galvan, for malfeasance, the singular watchdog outfit has sought, convicted and/or incarcerated 29 other local politicians gone bad; it is something the FBI says is unique in America; and to the chagrin of the local shysters—Terry and his patriotic colleagues are still at work, doing the quiet, difficult, unfinished business of the people.
Using a collective approach, an ironclad Federal rapport and an unwavering commitment to producing complaints with proof of criminality among their wily, overtly racist, backwoods subjects, Concerned Citizens have made a difference in the public trust—nabbing the entrenched St. Tammany District Attorney and its longstanding sheriff for unthinkable crimes; the top two local political posts who decide whether someone goes to trial; and ultimately—to jail.
And of course, there is “The Others,” the ever-growing case file of the Concerned Citizens’ quarry. These are the accounts involving one of the most corrupt political subdivisions, formerly the world’s highest incarcerator, per capita: St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana, aptly nicknamed “St. Slammany” for its reputation of unlawful jailing; a fetid, murky backwater of mobsters, thieves, sociopaths, pedophiles, human traffickers and fascist political opportunists masquerading as public servants; and a rare, ripe, target-rich environment for the learned, the readied and the able: The Concerned Citizens of St. Tammany—with their shoulders squared and eyes trained against the proverbial crosshairs; amidst the setting American sun.
The second in a series of tales of good gone bad, this is a collection of rare, true-crime stories involving elected officials, people who by rank, privilege and company—rarely get caught. It contains chapters on two unsolved, high-profile murders of loved St. Tammany scions, Bruce Cucchiara (2012) and Nanette Krentel (2017), that have drawn the attention of a bevy of national, true-crime podcasters …all who realize that something is terribly wrong among the piney, rustic, ozone woods of Lake Ponchartrain’s North Shore.
“No-Limit, Big Game Hunting in St. Tammany” takes the reader into a dark, seedy, lascivious underworld everyone hears about, but rarely sees. These are the behind-the-scenes, conflicting and contrasting, dubious character-driven tales of a provincial, Southern political system run amuck; and a group of equally-determined, patriotic Americans uniting to fix it for the elusive common cause of honest government and a decent quality of life.
The factual material in this expose’ at times reeks of a bad novel; and like when a person happens upon a grisly car wreck, you will find yourself unable to look away, proving what Twain said, that “truth—is stranger than fiction” and that we as citizens have much work to do in order to live up to the promise of passing on the American Dream to our posterity.
This book will forever change the way you view your government; St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana; and the victim citizens of the United States of America; proving that one need not take an African Safari to seek, capture and dispatch the world’s most elusive prey—the embattled, the compromised and the disjointed—an otherwise protected class, of corrupt politicians.
