While the two detectives try to find Teresa and prove her innocence, a case in a different precinct involving a different Castilblanco relative surfaces. Are the two cases related? The cop's uncle, other detectives, and the Coast Guard help sort things out, including one connection to an old mafia family. Don't read this one if you're planning to go on a cruise soon...or crabbing in Chesapeake Bay. Otherwise, get ready for action and thrills that will keep you turning the pages.

If you're reading this, thank you. Not many people find me...or recognize me as an author of many genre fiction novels. Maybe it's because my name is too common?I thought once about using a pen name...and probably should have. Maybe it's because I don't get many reviews. (It's not hard to write one once you've read one of my books: just say what you like and dislike in a few lines, and why.) I know you have many good books and good authors to choose from, so I'm honored and humbled that you are considering or have read some of mine.
You're here on Smashwords because you love to read. Me too. Okay, maybe you're here to give someone the gift of an entertaining book?that's fine too. I love to tell stories, so either way, you'll be purchasing some exciting fiction, each book unique and full of action and interesting characters, scenes, and themes. Some are national, others international, and some are mixed; some are in the mystery/suspense/thriller category, others sci-fi, and some are mixed-genre. There are new ones and there are evergreen ones, books that are as fresh and current as the day I wrote them. (You should always peruse an author's entire oeuvre. I find many interesting books to read that way.)
I started telling stories at an early age, making my own comic books before I started school and writing my first novel the summer I turned thirteen?little of those early efforts remain (did I hear a collective sigh of relief?). I collected what-ifs and plots, character descriptions, possible settings, and snippets of dialogue for years while living in Colombia and different parts of the U.S. (I was born in California and eventually settled on the East Coast after that sojourn in South America). I also saw a bit of the world and experienced other cultures at scientific events and conferences and with travel in general, always mindful of what should be important to every fiction writer?the human condition. Fiction can't come alive?not even sci-fi?without people (they might be ET people in the case of sci-fi, of course).
I started publishing what I'd written in 2006?short stories, novellas, and novels?we'd become empty-nesters and I was still in my old day-job at the time. Now I'm a full-time writer. My wife and I moved from Boston to the NYC area a while back, so both cities can be found in some novels, along with many others in the U.S. and abroad.
