    About this series

    When the crabbing boat Johnny B. Goode is lost with all hands in a ferocious January storm, Officer Charley Whitehorse discovers it was not an Act of God but an act of murder.

    At the same time, young women are disappearing up and down the Oregon coast. The latest, Patricia Carmody, has vanished without a trace on her way to audition for a movie.

    As Whitehorse and his partner, Tony Esperanza, rush to untangle the web of clues, they tumble into a plot of human trafficking, vicious killings, and international conspiracy.

    Pour yourself a drink--coffee, tea, wine, or something stronger--turn off your phone, and fasten your seatbelt. The ride is about to begin.

      The short story "Eye of Newt" is both epilogue to the novel Seal of Secrets and prologue to the novel Woman in the Waves. The formerly quiet town of Driftwood, Oregon, has barely recovered from the ravages of the ex-convict, Raven, after a pulse-pounding showdown on the Yaquina Bay Bridge in Newport. Now Dr. Sterling Friese, Professor of Biology at Pacific Crest University, is using his knowledge of the life sciences to plot the perfect murder. Dean Arlon Wasserman, long suspicious of Friese's extracurricular activities, has hired Invictus Investigations to expose the philandering teacher. Friese will stop at nothing to prevent that from happening, even it means killing his own boss. Hot on his trail, Police Officers Charley Whitehorse and Tony Esperanza will do all in their power to bring the brilliant and ruthless man to justice.
