The Crystal Pelican

Beschreibung

In his most thrilling mystery yet, private investigator Henry Walsh dodges bullets, bombs, and married women to help find a friend's missing fiancé... Just as he's about to begin the search, an explosion rocks the marina where his friend was staying. When divers from the Sheriff's Office come up out of the water empty handed, Henry can only fear the worst. But he keeps his promise, and leaves no stone unturned as he continues his search for his friend's fiancé. And as he hunts for those responsible, it's Henry who soon becomes the hunted. The target on his back only grows, and he must fight to keep those around him out of harm's way. His normally hard-shelled partner Alex is worried they're in way over their heads. She pleads with him to leave it in the hands of the Sheriff's Office. But walking away was never Henry's thing. And he knows once he has all the pieces, he'll have no problem making them fit. As long as he can stay alive... When Henry finally discovers the one thing everyone's been after, getting it into his hands is his only option. Apparently, it's a treasure worth killing for...

Autor

Gregory has written over twenty-three books, and is the author of four mystery and crime fiction series, including the Henry Walsh Private Investigator series, the US Marshal Charlie Harlow series, the Joe Sheldon crime series, and the new Jake Horn mysteries. His standalone crime novels include Drag the Man Down, Half Cocked, Danny Womack's .38, Biscayne Boogie, and a number of published short stories.He won his first award as a writer at ten years old, after sending a story to the Providence Journal about his pet husky being shot by a local farmer. The writing most likely wasn't very good, but the fact a young boy's dog was shot (true story!) tugged at the editor's heart strings just enough.His dog, luckily, survived.But that wasn't a paid gig, so years later he ended up in advertising. He eventually became a copywriter, specializing in direct mail and writing fundraising letters to help raise money for animals and children.The first book he wrote was nonfiction, but he quickly realized he wasn't smart enough to be giving anyone advice. He finally decided making up lies for a living would be much more fun.Somehow, he became an author.Raised in Providence, Rhode Island, Gregory lives with his wife, kids, and his dog, Jake, in North Carolina.
