First in a continuing series of cozy mysteries

A NEW SERIES BEGINS

With a mass shooting at a tucked-away, Myrtle Beach area church the night before Yo Becham leaves for Thailand to visit his girlfriend, F.B.I. Chief Inspector, James Kelly, arrives ready to make a name for himself.  But with no clues and pressure from high up, he clings to any remote possibility for a solution.  Soon he focuses on Yo, a writer-wanna-be who’s feeding ideas to the investigating team and mysteriously left the country hours after the shooting.  If Yo could be there to defend himself, things might quiet down.  But he somehow got himself entangled in a Russian mob effort to move in on his girlfriends family business in Patong and needs to look out for them – and himself, before coming back.

The sentece handed down may be the best he could have gotten.

Standing trial for the murder of his wife and assumed lover, a sullen and uncooperative David Elliot is found guilty and sentenced to two life terms of imprisonment.  His attorney, Sakib Patel, has never won a case in his life and this just adds another notch to his lack-luster career.  But Patel rises to the occasion by mounting a legal gambit to free his client on a wacko idea that only he believes in.  Despite the low regard each has for the other, a victory by Patel would change his career, Elliot's life and maybe the life of the one witness responsible for Elliot's conviction - Elliot's next door neighbor.

A collection of short stories

A collection of short stories from when I was starting.  True to the "lite" mystery style I've wanted to pursue, each story involves a crime of some sort and either a pursuit to solve the crime or efforts to remove someone from a set of circumstances they stumble into.  Nothing too graphic or explicit, just interesting stories with, hopefully, clever and entertaining resolutions.
