The Salish Sea

A girl with no name...

Penny doesn't remember much about her childhood and what she does remember isn't all that great. She and her mother moved too many times to a series of cheap motels. There were too many men visiting her mother and none of them were her father. As for her father, all Penny knew was that he was rich and dead. 

Found abandoned on a deserted beach on the Salish Sea when she was four years old, Penny didn't even know her own name. Shunted from one foster home to another, she struggled to overcome the odds. Now, as a student on scholarship at Washington State University, there's still a hole in her heart and her life where a family should be.

When a Police Detective from the Victoria, B.C. Police Department calls to inform her about remains that were identified as belonging to her mother, Penny starts a quest to find out what happened the day she was abandoned and who her father really is. She enlists crime reporter Tess McClintock and Michael Carter to help her find her family, but when they start uncovering Penny's past, not everyone is happy to learn their connection to the girl with no name.

The Salish Sea is a new standalone book in the Salish Sea Crime Thriller series.
