The Gail Force

"The plot crackles with energy and suspense. The writing is crisp...clever. A consistently entertaining crime thriller." Kirkus Reviews .
Jake Travis, while trying to expose a corrupt Miami art gallery, goes undercover for the FBI. The gallery's owner, Phillip Agatha, is more enchanted with murder than he is with art. Aboard Agatha's luxury yacht, the Gail Force, Jake is taken by Agatha's hospitality and falls for his alluring assistant, Christina. Unknowingly, Jake plays into Agatha's hands and initiates actions that will cause a young woman to die.

As Jake battles to save the woman, unearth a rogue FBI agent, and bring Agatha to justice, his greatest challenge is to stay loyal to his girlfriend, Kathleen, and to withstand the Gail Force.

"Charm and humor permeate the pages of this surprising thriller. There's little chance that anyone will turn the last page before developing a craving for the next installment." Foreword Clarion Reviews, 5 Stars
