About this ebook
Sean is a house detective for a high-tone hotel in downtown Seattle. Having recently taken early retirement from the Seattle Police Department, Sean needed a job, but his easy night shift turns into trouble when the body of a felon, who Sean beat into a near coma while on the force, is found at the bottom of the hotel’s back stairs after a very private party.
Now a prime suspect, Sean must track down the three working girls last seen with the dead pimp and find out who had a motive to kill Leroy. While covering for the porn star Scarlet O’Toole, who illegally headlined the private party, Sean must juggle a dangerous Seattle vice-lord, the dead felon’s minions and the Seattle homicide unit. Between dodging police detectives and the vice-lord’s imported muscle, Sean is kept busy.
Sean’s investigation leads him from a members-only yacht club to a rusting trailer park as he uses his contacts and familiarity with Seattle’s darker side to help him stay one step ahead of his enemies and track down a killer he can feed to the police.

I spent my early life working in theatre, both on and back stage. More recently I have worked in the digital area of Internet development, which not coincidentally, allowed me to work for myself and thus have more time to write.Write. That is what I have done since age 16. I cast about some with poetry and scripts, but then discovered short stories and from that I found that the stories I tell tend to be long. In short, I migrated to novels.I have written 5 novels and 1 novella in four different genres. I find that I have too many stories to stick to one genre. The Copper Fox is an historical fiction set in 14th century Italy. Tina Tin and The Silver Slavers is science fantasy with a robot as the protagonist. The Dowry Of Doom, The Dead Man’s Tale, and The Affair Of The Delinquent Student, are part of the Stargazer Chronicles fantasy series. The House Dick, a detective murder mystery, rounds out the genre spread.Mr. Leith, a Seattle resident for thirty-five years, currently lives with his wife in West Seattle.
