Case 003 — Crime novel
The Undertow
Port Mendocino built its money on a ship that never made port — and its widows have kept the arithmetic ever since.
When a salvage crew brings up a strongbox full of promissory notes, the numbers in the ledger match the town’s debts to the cent. Someone is still collecting, and the collector is still alive.
The Undertow is an heist novel that unwinds backwards, from the shoreline to the truth at the bottom of the bay.
Low Tide, Black Star
The last train out of the Cynosure Line runs on schedule — and only one man knows why it never reaches the end.
