Black Tide Rising - a Dan Connor Mystery R. J. Mcmillen

Marc Notes: It's been a year since retired cop Dan Connor formed an unlikely partnership with ex-criminal Walker, to find Claire, a missing marine biologist. And it's been a year since he fell for her. Now he finally has the chance to enjoy both his retirement and the relationship as he travels up the Pacific Northwest coast of British Columbia to meet her in the remote village of Kyuquot. But when Dan stops for a visit with the lighthouse keepers of Nootka Island, he finds himself pulled into yet another case involving a missing woman. But this time he discovers the mutilated remains of a sacred totem and an unsettlingly large pool of blood. Review Quotes: Praise for "Dark Moon Walking" "R. J. McMillen's mastery of description and amazing ability to create enriched metaphors adds so much to this chilling mystery. This is a book to read in the comforting light of day" Judy King, author of "Living at Lake Chapala" "A pure pleasure to read." Roberta Rich, author of "The Midwife of Venice" and "The Harem Midwife" ""Dark Moon Walking" honors the tradition of the great mystery novelists of the 40 s and 50 s. In McMillen s world there are no psychic profilers, CSI forensics, or electronic surveillance, and yet in its old fashioned reliance on little more than intuition and powers of deduction it is literally as contemporary as the war on terrorism." "El Ojo del Lago""Biographical Note: R. J. McMillen has spent over 30 years sailing the Pacific Northwest on a 36-foot sailboat she and her husband built, visiting the remote coastal communities her family worked at in the early 1900s. "Black Tide Rising" is her second mystery. Find out more about the Dan Connor mystery series at RJMcMillen.com. Review Citations: Booklist 05/01/2015 pg. 20 (EAN 9781771511230, Paperback)
