Blood and Water

Is Blood Really Thicker than Water?

Life is good. Mac Davis, a former Marine, is now a cop reporter for the Seattle Examiner. He's had stories nominated for the Pulitzer Prize. He has a reputation as a hard-nosed reporter, and a good man to have at your back when trouble comes knocking.

And even Mac admits, around him, trouble usually does.

He has a career, a girlfriend, even a house. He has friends. He belongs.

But his past is knocking on the door.

His cousin calls in a favor. Fourteen years ago, Toby took the fall for a car theft leaving Mac free to go into the Marines. And now? He needs Mac. Needs him badly.

A news clip out of Mexico shows a young man running from a burning building — and he wears Mac's face. So much so, people called to find out what he was doing in Mexico. It's his first lead to his father's family.

Exactly what do you owe the past?

Mac Davis is about to figure that out.

Book 5 in the Mac Davis thrillers — stories about a cop reporter who struggles to believe the pen is really mightier than the sword. But just in case? There's a Glock stashed in his backpack along with a notebook and pen.
