Synopsis
1941 - The sleepy town of Hunter's Point is torn apart when six friends with loose morals are discovered brutally murdered in an apparent home invasion. The shocking crime scene reveals that the friends were involved in illegal gambling and bootleg alcohol. Almost immediately, the tight-nit farming community turns against the slain- dismissing the crime and chalking their deaths up to the wages of their sins. Only one man, local County Sherriff, Robin Blankenbill, seems interested in seeking justice for the slain, but frustrated by his community and with very few leads, he is forced to seek the help of Seattle's best detectives, Alan Stewart and Vera Deward.
Arriving on the first ferry, Alan and Vera, along with police detective Ben Kearney find the treacherous corruption and something far more sinister lurks just below the idyllic facade of Hunter's Point. Can they go all in to solve this crime, or will the wages of sin raise the ante?

About the Author
Neil Low is a astounded that he is closing in on half a century with the Seattle Police Department. He started police work while in his teens, as a cadet has risen through the ranks as captain over the years. He currently commands Homeland Security and the Special Operations Center sections. During his long career he has served in nearly every department. He was selected as the first Ethics and Professional Responsibility commander and has also been in charge of Internal Affairs, Advanced Training and Police Range, Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault, Homicide and Robbery, the Metropolitan Section, spending the last four years as the City's Night Commander.
Neil is an expert marksman and used to shoot on the pistol team. He still can be occasionally found putting the Department's .45 caliber Thompson Submachine gun through its paces at the Police Range, where he has tutored others on shooting techniques. Pictures are available of Neil with the Thompson on his Facebook page or website neillow.com
Neil has a special love of the Seattle Opera, having connected with its former director Speight Jenkins, through writing and public speaking engagements. He loves a dry gin martini or the occasional glass of scotch - single malt - if you please. He is an avid swimmer and works on story lines while logging a mile per session in the pool, most days. He explains that he needs the extra time in the pool because he's also very handy in the kitchen, where his daughters' friends have rated his fried rice the best they've had. Neil on the other hand, believes his strength is in spaghetti Bolognese with handmade meatballs.
He is a Vietnam War veteran and a cum laude graduate of the University of Washington Bothell, where he wrote for the school paper: The UW Bothell Commons. For the past two years he represented the campus as a trustee to the UW Alumni Association. A Seattle native, Neil now lives with his family in the Snohomish area, where he protects a wetland with water fowl.
