Reads Like A Classic 1980s Noir Movie.
Riveting psycho suspense thriller as brilliant computer geek female takes a break and rediscovers her love life—with absolutely the last guy on earth. Run while you can! Does she listen? No… reads like one of those incomparable 1980s/90s suspense movies in the tradition of Sea of Love, Blink, and Shattered.
1892 True Crime/Famous Ghost Legend
1982 historical thriller closely based on my detailed historical analysis (book title: Dead Move) of the notorious 1892 true crime that became an instant national sensation. The Beautiful Stranger's mysterious, violent death lives on in the famous ghost legend of Room 3327 at the world-famous Hotel del Coroando near sunny San Diego. NOTE: At Galley City, there is also general info for my Coronado books including Lethal Journey. Or: find complete info (three sub-sites) for my Coronado books under Coronado Mystery.
Based On A True Story (F117-A).
Have Blue was the actual U.S. Government code name of the top secret F117-A development project in 1970s Burbank, California at the Lockheed Skunk Works. my novel is a techno-romantic thriller, fiction wrapped around key history, to be enjoyed but not taken literally. More to the point: the protagonist is pure fiction, as are most of the other characters. The project itself is true history, which I distilled from nonfiction sources. The underlying science and math are real. The rest is dramatic fun.
