The Highest Mountain: Death and Life in the Adirondacks
Product Description
Is it credible that today's law-enforcement officers are all Jack Bauers? Is Fox Network's "24" truly down-to-earth? Or is the job of protecting Americans often a task filled with flaws and poor guesses as these officers attempt to remain human behind the badge? Can a law enforcement officer be truly spiritual though the job may require killing "bad guys?" What happens when a NY State Bureau of Criminal Investigation officer is shot dead in the first chapter, then revived? The sub-title reflects this issue in first noting "death," and then "life." What kind of life ensues after an individual has gone into the supposed "beyond?" Can the protagonist ever do his/her job in an aggressive manner again, once re-vivified? And who, truly, are the "bad guys" in life, inside and outside the law enforcement field?
Flawed hero, Sr. Inv. Dennis Girard, struggles to understand his terrifying dreams by seeking Jungian therapy before he returns to work. He also faces psychic episodes, as the author has done throughout the past half century. Pitkin, a professional psychic, drew on his investigations of true experiences faced by many individuals who clinically died and then were resuscitated. This book, written against a backdrop of the 2008 Presidential Election, looks like "cops 'n robbers" at the outset, but becomes a spiritual epic before it concludes. 287 Pages. Paperback. 2007.
