More than 40 years Earle (Doc) Van Gilder was involved in white-collar crime. The last 20 years he ran his own Investigative Corporation partnering with major firms, local and state government agencies and law enforcement to solve a wide range of criminal activities from internal theft and white collar crime to insurance fraud, criminal investigations and undercover operations.
Doc is also a certified Kyokushinkai Karate Branch Chief and martial arts instructor and well versed in other weaponry.
These experiences combined with his Marine Corp and equestrian experiences have resulted in a number of short stories which in turn led to his first novel, Said The Spider.
He recently completed a second novel, Gumshoe Diary, The Month of May.
