Just Released!

What do an Idaho rancher’s murder and spent Winchester .300 mag. rifle casings, Wikken sisters and an ancient amulet, a Los Angeles helicopter company and the Sinaloa and Gulf Cartels, a werewolf and photographs of a rock band have in common? They’re the incongruous pieces from which Morgan Gunn must re-shape her shattered life. When tragedy strikes just weeks before her wedding, she withdraws from Washington State U’s veterinary school prior to graduation in order to follow the trail of a murderer. Clues discovered in a mountain linecabin take Morgan from Idaho to Los Angeles to work for her uncle’s company, Mill Street Investigators. Her uncle assigns a partner to help Morgan investigate dangerous, high dollar insurance claim cases. Galien Nicolas DesRosiers is an ex-French DGSE agent and a capable investigator with an uncanny ability to detect secrets. But her new partner has got a secret too, a deadly one. Yet, who is more deadly, Morgan, or her partner, Nick? First story of this unusual detective team.
