Titles By D.B. McNicol
Death and jail would interfere.
Traveling from Bradford, Pennsylvania to Kalispell, Montana for two weeks of fishing and relaxation had all the earmarks of a great time. Then things went awry and the local police are of little assistance.
The body belonged to the Chief of Police of Bradford, PA. His best friend was hustled into jail. Friends back home in Pennsylvania are furious and want answers.
They are heading to Montana to get them.
Police Sergeant Jim Sanders has been appointed the Acting Police Chief while his boss takes a vacation in Montana. Jim thinks two weeks will be a breeze, crime isn't a big thing in the small town of Bradford, Pennsylvania. Then a body is found.
Was it an accident? Maybe suicide? Or could it have been something more sinister? John Crocker was not a well-liked man. He smoked too much, drank too much, and gambled too much. But even he had a family and they deserved to know the truth.
Small town Klondike, up the hill from Bradford, suddenly sees a spike in vandalism. Cabins ransacked, cars trashed - who is responsible?
Summer tourist kids or someone more evil?
Snowflake Falls was located in the coldest, most northern part of the state. Even in the middle of summer, it was rarely warmer than 70 degrees. But when her elderly aunt calls asking for help to run her shop Jolly Goods, Autumn Winter knew she needed to go.
When Cherie Marshall catches her fiancé and best friend in a compromising position, she cancels her upcoming wedding and jumps at the chance to escape to quiet Klondike, Pennsylvania to care for her elderly aunt. She thought her biggest issue would be adapting to life in the middle of a National Forest, so very different from her upbringing in the deserts of Arizona.
But that was before she met State Trooper Fire Marshall Jamison "Jazz" Maddox at the scene of a mysterious fire. As they both become acquainted with the close-knit Klondike residents, things get complicated as Cherie and Jazz find themselves in the middle of a local crime wave where arson, kidnapping, embezzlement and a decades-old murder are just the tip of the iceberg.
Ten friends gather at the C'Mon Inn B&B on Kaua`i for a reunion vacation to fulfill the final wishes of an old friend and coworker - the scattering of his ashes.
One by one, they are beset by accidents.
Are they really accidents?
Hawaii - Is it really a paradise or just a death trap?
Officer Cassidy Peck needs a vacation and when her parents can't go, she takes over their cruise tickets and invites her new friend, Caryl-Anne Newsome to go with her.
All is good until a passenger is reported missing and Cass has an idea who might be to blame.
After all, she's always on duty.
Three childhood friends decide to take a break from their stressful business lives. Together with the partners and spouses, they charter a luxury boat and go on a relaxing vacation.
Nicholás Santerez watches from his dive shop as an explosion turns their boat into a fiery inferno. Enlisting the aid of his sister, Lucia, and their friends at the C'Mon Inn B&B, they rush to the rescue.
A year later, the survivors gather at the C'Mon Inn and they find themselves involved in a surprising investigation into the events of the prior year.
Will anyone’s life ever be the same?
Lucia Santerez puts her education on hold and returns home to help her brother Nicholás run his new dive shop. When she arrives, he's nowhere to be found. She's told he's run off with his girlfriend without a word to her.
Befriended by a vacationing firefighter and twin elderly sisters who run the C'Mon Inn B&B, together they try to unravel the mystery of her brother's disappearance. They soon learn someone doesn't want him found.
Aloha Nicholás! But will this be a hello or a goodbye?
From Woodstock to communes, to Vietnam, and then on to Hawaii. Find out how it all began...
Go back to the beginning and follow the Thompson twin sisters as they graduate high school and wend their way across the United States before settling on the beautiful island of Kauai.
As owners of the C'Mon Inn Bed & Breakfast, their ohana encompasses those looking for missing loved ones, taking care of lost dogs, dealing with killers on the loose, and a lot more.
But the three firefighters who own and run the Red Line Coffee Shop aren't typical either.
Flipper loves scuba diving.
Smokey loves to race cars.
Grizz, well, she loves most anything that keeps her adrenaline pumping.
Meet them all in this prequel to the Red Line Coffee Mystery Series where chaos and confusion mix with the coffee. Follow along as their friends are attacked, blackmailed, and even murdered. They'll go over and above to find the real killers, and save their friends.
