Publisher Description

An old flame.
A killer on the loose.
A crazy cult on the rise.


Nearly a year has passed since Garrison Gage became the reluctant guardian of a troubled teenage girl, but neither fatherhood nor the the intervening months has improved his mood. His right knee is still mostly worthless. He still prefers to drink his bourbon alone. And even with a certain blonde bombshell a persistent part of his life, he still can't be bothered to buy a cell phone. Or any phone, for that matter. Why? Then somebody might call him.

But grumpy as Gage can be, he still finds that life on the Oregon Coast has settled into a comfortable if not happy routine -- until the man who murdered his wife shows up in town.

That's just for starters. A desperate plea from an old flame -- his first love, in fact -- soon entangles Gage in a high profile case involving a famous and brazenly outspoken lecturer on evolution and atheism, a crazy fundamentalist cult that uses all means necessary to silence its critics, and a brutal local murder of a far more personal nature.

Before the mystery can be unraveled, Gage's abilities and beliefs will be put to the ultimate test. And the man who claims he doesn't need anyone will discover he may just lose everything.

Good series so far

I’ve read the first two books in this Garrison Gage series and am really enjoying it so far. They are well written with great character development, and the author sets scenes with a good balance of descriptiveness without going overboard. The books have more than a few glaring editorial mistakes, but the writing is very good so at $5, a few typos can be easily forgiven.

Now, onto the third in the series…

Top-notch murder mystery

Great pacing, appealing characters, believable relationships.
Minor note: they need to hire a better proofreader.
