In THE PUMPJACK MURDERS your sleuthing talents will be pitted against those of George Atwood, a corporate attorney committed to fighting for conservation causes, who is unexpectedly propelled into the role of detective and solves three murders using Holmesian logic, cutting edge technologies and a few pointers from his astute wife-to-be, Anne Montgomery.

THE PUMPJACK MURDERS has an intellectually challenging plot, a believable setting, and colorful but credible characters. It is spiced with elements of irony, humor and a twist to absorb the reader – all without the need for undue violence, gore or passages that you assuredly wouldn’t want your talking parrot to repeat.

If you like this debut mystery’s blend of intrigue, whimsy and wit,
stay tuned for the release of the second in the George Atwood
mystery series — MURDER ON THE GROUSE MOOR.
