<i>Grounders </i>are cop slang for easy open and solved cases. A husband kills his wife, a bar-fight with a knife or a gun, cases quickly solved in two or three days.&nbsp;<br />Cops love this and get credit for promotion for easily solving cases.&nbsp;<br />In <i>Grounders</i> the NYPD cops find that this murder of a cook is much more than a simple grounder. It involves the Chinese Tong gangs in NYC, Peruvian rebels who want to overthrow their government by using &ldquo;magic rocks&rdquo; that were left from an alien civilization like Stargate in Machu-Picchu, and a love story between a detective and a Tong leader&rsquo;s granddaughter.&nbsp;<br /><i>Grounders </i>combines everything; murder, love, greed, drugs, and rebels amid the backdrop of detectives trying to solve a murder mystery.<br /><br /><b>Leonard Love Matlick</b> is an engineer, writer, and life-coach.
