Book Description

Red Herring is a story about courage triumphant over fear. It's a mystery set in the Pacific Northwest—in Bellingham, Washington and the San Juan Islands. When radar spots a vessel heading toward an oil refinery, a Coast Guard patrol is dispatched, and an unmanned boat operating under autopilot is intercepted. Then the Coast Guard discovers explosives aboard, along with a note threatening the construction of a pipeline beneath an environmentally sensitive body of water. Fear of terrorism erupts. Ex-coast guard commander Charlie Noble, now a marine private investigator, agrees to search for the man most believe is behind the bomb plot. But Noble steps into a dangerous, puzzling web of intrigue involving corporate greed, Homeland Security, and murder. Through personal courage, gritty determination and uncompromising honor, he unravels the truth.

From the Author

Red Herring is the first in a series of books featuring lead character Charlie Noble. Throughout the series I intend to have Charlie work his way slowly up the Inside Passage in his adventures. This is an area I love and have cruised through extensively over the last decade.
