A sleepy Oregon coastal village with secrets as dark as its January storms. A new police chief with his own shadowy past. The last thing Port Stirling Chief of Police Matt Horning needed on day one of his new job was for the mayor's daughter to turn up dead in a mysterious tunnel on the Oregon beach. Horning, escaping professional troubles in Texas, accepts the vacant job in Port Stirling, Oregon, looking for a fresh start in what he thought would be a peaceful coastal town. Nothing much ever happens here...or does it? With only a ragtag county crime team to assist him, Horning must match wits with a diabolical killer, the likes of which this quiet village has never seen. An aggressive district attorney, who doesn't fancy relinquishing the limelight to the new chief, makes his job even more difficult. For one week in wild and stormy January, Horning calls on all of his detective skills to investigate the unlikely murder. As soon as he starts asking questions, Port Stirling begins to unveil its dark underbelly amid stunning revelations. From the 300-foot bluffs ringing the white-sand pristine beach, to the posh golf resort at odds with the blue-collar town, Horning and his new team work at break-neck speed to uncover the facts. But will they find the killer before he - or she - strikes again? Will a psychopath ruin Matt Horning's new life before he can even start it?

Autorenporträt
With my debut novel, Shallow Waters, I introduced a thrilling new mystery series set in my native state of Oregon, alongside our rugged Pacific coast. The second installment, Midnight Beach, continued the excitement with a story based on a real-life crime. Now it's time for the third book in the series, Code: Tsunami, which I desperately hope is NOT based on a real-life future event. I was born in the southwest corner of Oregon in a small town not unlike my fictional Port Stirling, and now live in Estacada, Oregon, with my charming husband, Steve, a technology entrepreneur. I've enjoyed a long career in corporate communications in such varied industries as tourism, healthcare, and sports. Since 2000, I've owned Paris Communications, a marketing, PR, and publishing firm. Some career highlights include the development of an internal newspaper for Nike, Inc., the Nike World Record, which was translated into eight languages and distributed to all Nike employees around the world. I'm also proud of my writing and coaching role at BleacherReport.com, a sports website, where my focus was college and NFL football. Like many Oregonians, I'm passionate about gardening, and earned Master Gardener status. A true plant nerd, I'm obsessively zealous about growing vegetables, although with 39 mostly-David Austin roses, one could also make the case that I'm a tiny bit obsessed with roses, too. I love the outdoors, particularly in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, and I'm happiest hiking, playing golf, and enjoying the beaches, rivers, and lakes. A determined, avid traveler since my teens, I've visited dozens of countries around the world. While every place has its charms if you look hard enough, I include Scotland, the Galapagos Islands, Switzerland, Maui, and France's Dordogne region among her favorites. High on my post-Covid travel list currently are the Shetland Islands and New Zealand. Book 4 in my Port Stirling series will be published in early 2022. Thank you for reading!
