A Mystery Thriller
Ethan Pickett's battered pickup truck is found in the valley of the Bluewater Ski Club, a four hundred foot drop, his broken and bloodied body trapped inside.

Coming SooN...
Champion Jack Boudreau, a retired Canadian heavy-weight champion, donates tens of thousands of dollars to worthwhile causes by hosting charitable poker and blackjack events. The events are popular and attract the rich and powerful, men and women who love to gamble while doing their part for the less fortunate. The only problem, and it’s a well-kept secret, is The Champ’s games are all big money games, and all strictly illegal.
When Dewey Carmichael, the man that manages the events, is shot and killed, and Cassie Garrett, the woman who hosts the events disappears, The Champ has no choice but to call in the cops. And then he calls his old friend, Charlie Beach.
By taking the case, Charlie puts himself in a delicate situation. Not only does he have to track down a killer, and find out what happened to Cassie Garret, he has to protect The Champ’s charitable foundation, his reputation, and has to try and keep him out of jail. It’s a delicate balance, but thankfully Charlie is good in delicate situations
My Bio
​
I have been a dedicated reader for as long as I can remember, developing a fondness for crime fiction novels at an early age. It all began with the series of Hardy Boys mysteries, Frank and Joe, Frank being my favourite. As I entered my teen years, and spent time between classes in the high school library, I discovered crime fiction writers like Agatha Christie, P.D. James, and Robert Parker, just to name a few.
