Author Bill Latham’s New Book, "Ghost Sleepers: The Announcement," Follows a Detective Who Uncovers a National Crime Spree While Investigating a Local Abduction

Upper Sandusky, OH, May 21, 2025 --(PR.com)-- Bill Latham, a sixty-five-year-old retired criminal justice professional whose career of over forty years was spent as a uniformed officer, sheriff’s detective, and prosecutor’s investigator, has completed his new book, “Ghost Sleepers: The Announcement”: a thrilling tale of crime and deception that follows a detective who, while investigating a local abduction, discovers a link to a national crime conspiracy.

“A young girl, Audrey Dixon, is abducted on a bright, sunny fall afternoon in the city of Levinson in Dempsey County,” writes Latham. “Her car is found the next day on the other side of the county in the parking lot of a rural reservoir. Dempsey County Sheriff’s Detective Matt Simms is assigned to the case. In the early weeks following Audrey’s abduction, Simms is unaware that his case is connected to numerous other abductions and brutal murders occurring across the country. A chance sighting of the victim leads Simms to a confrontation with a sly and cunning adversary skilled in the art of deception and results in the uncovering of a crime spree that will involve the highest levels of the United States government and their desperate attempt to keep the killings a secret.”

Published by Newman Springs Publishing, Bill Latham’s enthralling tale will transport readers as they follow along on Detective Simms’s journey to uncover the truth and locate Audrey Dixon at all costs, no matter the danger in doing so.
