A Place Called Locke Free Kindle Download

The quiet nicker of a horse, the song of nightbirds, a chorus of frogs - the background to sleep on tranquil Sutter Island - are replaced by the ringing of a phone.  From Mexico comes a desperate plea disguised as a casual request.

A young doctor has fallen in love with the wrong woman.  His love will lead him into a web of deceit and danger as he is forced to become part of a plan to smuggle drugs up the California coast.

In The Delta, Jessie Red Cloud is returning to her work as a Sacramento County Sheriff's Deputy, unaware that she and her friend and former partner Bodie McDonald are about to be drawn into a secretive task force, led by a man who trusts no one.

Two groups of people are on a collision course, one that will lead them to a deadly confrontation in the quiet backwater behind a place called Locke.

A Place Called Locke is the fifth installment in The Delta Mystery Series and the fifth in a series of free Kindle downloads in anticipation of the publication of the latest book New Hope Landing, currently scheduled for the end of 2014.

A BEAUTIFUL PLACE TO DIE

In the fourth installment of The Delta Mysteries, Jessie encounters a new and deadly enemy. 

Olivia Winslow is new to The Delta, her past a mystery, her obsession Nick Red Cloud. 

Despite the misgivings of Nick and Susan, Jessie Red Cloud is engaged in a search for her childhood friend Angel, mysteriously missing once again. As Jessie searches for Angel, Olivia Winslow sets in motion a twisted plan to destroy Jessie and have Nick for herself.

Prologue

Jessie Red Cloud knew all about the tides in the Delta. She knew the water rose 6 feet every 12 hours.

The ropes that bound her to the rotting pilings of the dock that had long ago collapsed into the fetid water at the end of Lost Slough cut into her wrists and ankles.

She reckoned that, at this time of year, in this place, the water would reach its highest level by 8 that night. But long before then, it would begin to fill her mouth and nostrils. She could almost taste the bitter brackish flavor of it in the back of her throat, her throat that was raw from calling for help that did

not come.

There was a subtle shift in the quality of the light that found its way through the lacy green of the branches overhead. The sun was setting. On the edges of the bank across from her, the reeds took on definition. As the day died, the horizon was colored with the hues of a Delta sunset, blue suffused with gold, then pink and salmon as the sun dropped lower. The reeds turned from emerald to sharp black outlined against the darkening cobalt sky. A scene that might have been created by a painter. It was a beautiful place to die.
