Add to basketPaperback. Condition: new. Paperback. These three short stories are unrelated mysteries that will have you guessing through their final chapters. The first mystery involves a cross-border boating story. A powerful motor boat speeds across calm moonlit waters. The owner checks in with US Customs and anchors in a cove on one of the many islands near the border. Come morning local bay residents observe odd behavior of the boat's passengers . At a resort in the remote wilds of pristine Canadian waters four girls hired for guests entertainment are returned to Nanaimo by the same boat observed crossing the border two nights before. Alert citizens have drawn attention to the boat with a suggestion that it is being used to smuggle illegal immigrants across the border. Simultaneously, US police contact Canadian authorities about concerns of an emerging international prostitution ring. The US Coast Guard tries to involve US Customs in their smuggling investigation but get rebuffed. They establish a trap for the suspect powerboat's anticipated next border crossing run. With good anticipation and planning they intercept the boat and its occupants and carry out a standard 'safety inspection'. That's when circumstances change, and the story takes an unexpected twist. The second mystery revolves around university students at play. It's Meghan's boyfriend's birthday. She decides on a very personalized gift and surprises him by delivering it to the lab where he works in the University Physics building. Gavin's roommate is also present. When Gavin and Meghan eventually leave they are shocked to find at the base of the stairs their friend Matt, who has hit his head on the last concrete step with blood pooling under him. The police eventually establish that Matt didn't fall but was murdered with savage blows to the back of his head. One theory is that Matt was mistaken for Gavin who is a brilliant Ph.D. Nuclear Physics expert. Other alternative theories need more exploration. Matt's parents plan to come from England to take his body home. A computer left by Matt at Jenny's place is given to the police, who then involve the FBI based on the contents. Solution to the murder puzzle comes from an unusual quarter. The FBI acts quickly overnight and makes an arrest the next morning just as Matt's parents head home. They lose their son, but find three new young friends, and board their plane with a satisfying conclusion in hand. The final mystery involves characters from 100 years apart with international intrigue a major component of the story. Nikolay's muscles strain as he rows across two miles of international waters not long after the turn of the century. He arrives in a foreign country where he eventually migrates to a big city. Thanks to his linguistic skills he never has trouble finding jobs on the waterfront. One hundred years later Sean and Christina help Sean's brother Mark look for a house to buy. They end up checking foreclosed properties with lower prices and eventually find one that Mark thinks suits his needs. Sean and Mark's father is seriously ill and eventually is moved to a hospice as his care needs escalate. Back in history Nikolay settles down and befriends a vivacious nurse whom he met when she treated him at the hospital after a small accident suffered on the wharves. The friendship leads to marriage and they buy a lovely little home overlooking the harbor. Nikolay works hard on a special basement project while Pauline's pregnancy progresses. Nikolay observes strange behavior on the docks that eventually leads to a profound change in his interests. Mark and his girlfriend Celine move into their newly purchased house and Mark sets to work doing what he can to make it much more livable for them. The house is the common bond between Nikolay's past journey in life and Mark's emerging one. A totally unexpected discovery leads to an amazing finding that Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.

Add to basketPaperback. Condition: new. Paperback. These three short stories are unrelated mysteries that will have you guessing through their final chapters. The first mystery involves a suburban setting we can all relate to. Karen is an ex-realtor, divorced, no-longer active in the industry. Now a private investigator, she specializes primarily in missing persons and potential infidelity investigations. One of her old real-estate customers, Wendy, has become a friend with both endearing and disarming traits. Wendy has observed some odd phenomena in the old house across the street from her home. Not knowing what to make of them she calls Karen who finds a plausible explanation for the unusual phenomenon her friend has observed. A massive storm with high winds and torrential rain rages for days, creating driving hazards from downed trees, racing rivulets, and accumulated debris in narrow streets. Karen's investigation of a missing person from out of state stalls. When Wendy calls with yet another issue on the house opposite, Karen is predictably rude in her response. The ensuing investigation involves both unexpected and unpleasant issues. Wendy is enormously upset, and Karen is thrown into an awkward position by the findings. The final outcome is only partially balanced by a new revelation between the two women. The second mystery revolves around boating between the US and Canada, among the northwest islands, away from the mainland. Ted and Tricia own a modest home on the shore of an island bay. Their pride and joy is a 50ft sleek powerboat. Ted is a real-estate broker but has recently had major knee surgery and is recuperating at home. A visiting boat pulls into their cove and anchors in an area that doesn't always hold well. When Tricia alerts the captain and guest of the boat she comes away with mixed impressions. Next morning the boat appears to be abandoned and disabled. Tricia contacts the Coast Guard who get in touch with the owner. The boat belongs to a Charter company, which chartered the boat to a single chap for cruising in the northwest islands. Tricia reservedly helps get the boat towed to a local boat repair facility. There, her interaction with a new employee seems out of character with other employees she knows. Based on a fortunate small finding Tricia travels to Canada to check out a possible lead. Back home Ted helps with some investigative Internet work. The mystery of the disappearing boat charterer only deepens however. A dead body found in the nearby major shipping Strait adds to the concerns of authorities. But Tricia, with her investigative instincts, suggests a solution to the local police. A little work on their part finds illegal cross-border activity that is nipped in the bud. The final mystery takes place on a hiker's paradise - a large mountain with still untrammeled woods, creeks, and ravines. Gwenda is an ardent writer, editor, and hiker. A tiff at home sends her off to her favorite retreat - an immense nearby mountain that towers above the city and the bay it sits astride. There are still many unchartered parts of the mountain with untrammeled woods, creeks, and ravines. Gwenda heads for an area where, on her last hike, she saw in the distance a running stream emanating from a pile of rocks. Curiosity leads her to two startling finds on the bank of the small creek. She returns to the city and uses both local resources and the Internet to research the background of one particular clothing object from a distant past. She learns about a community of specialized workers living in the city nearly a century ago. A mystery of those times is suddenly revealing clues in the present time. The police inevitably become involved but are not enthusiastic problem solvers. So, as a columnist for the local newspaper, Gwenda reveals her new information to readers. In the end, an exchange with an avid reader leads to a meeting which helps de Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
