The Problem is the thirteenth book that Mrs. Beckley has written for Xlibris. This is a different kind of genre that Mrs. Beckley has written for us.
This book introduces the reader to some new characters by the names of Abby, Allan; and Toni and Terri, who are twin girls in the second grade; Peter and Matthew, their brothers; and Detective Andreas, Detective Marcus, Officer Black, Mr. Frank Fitzgerald, and his mother, Mrs. Betty Black Fitzgerald.
This book is pure fiction and takes place around the Bryn Mawr Police Department, where Peter and Matthew are earning service points for school, working with the Detectives Andreas and Marcus solve the suicide of their science teacher, Mr. Frank Fitzgerald.

This book has been written for the older student such as those in high school due to its content.
This book has been written for my friends and family, especially Angela, Bobbie, Aunt Edwina, Gwen, Jean, Jane, Kate, Peggy, Renee, Susan, Father Don, Father Andy, Sister Mary De Chantel, Mrs. Mitchell, and my parents, Fred and Elizabeth. And, finally, for my classmates from NPHS Fred, Lynne, and Robert. Thank you for all your love and support.
Many of my friends have asked me where I get my ideas. Some of them come from my imaginations and watching TV, and some of them have come from my experiences growing up in Rose Valley, and later in Detroit, Michigan. Then the rest of them have come from my teaching experiences over a period of thirty years. I hope you all enjoy reading them as much as I did writing them.
