Get blown away with Hurricane in Paradise!

Poor Madison! With all the unexpected deaths she's dealt with, now a hurricane comes her way! What next? 

Here's a free sample: 

A gust of wind blew the front door open, sending it bouncing off the wall. Creole stumbled into the entry, his black hair whipping around his face. A crack of thunder boomed behind him, announcing the fury of the rapidly approaching storm. “Madison Westin,” he barked, sounding like an angry dog. “What in the hell are you still doing at home?”

            Dropping a small bag at the bottom of the stairs, I watched as my boyfriend veered left, going into the kitchen, dripping wet from the sheets of rain slamming the house in all of Mother Nature’s ferocity. The wind’s howling sounded like someone screaming at times.

            Luc Baptiste was his birth name, Creole the undercover moniker he used in his employment as a Miami detective, but only a handful of people actually knew that little fact. He stood over six feet, his muscles accentuated by his soaked t-shirt. At the moment, he had a two-day scruff of beard and his eyes were an irate blue; when they turned a deep cobalt, I knew he was more than mildly annoyed.  Another bolt of lightning flashed through the garden window. I counted under my breath and listened until thunder rocked in the distance, the eye of the storm getting closer. It was just beginning to make its presence known.

“You need an umbrella.” I watched as he shook the water off like a wet animal. “The news said the hurricane won’t make landfall until tonight.”

            He scowled, looming over me, his brows pulled together. “You promised you’d be going with Fab and Didier to Miami.” He tugged on a tendril of red hair that had escaped my hair clip.

            When I first moved to the Florida Keys, living by myself got old––fast. So, when Fabiana Merceau showed up one day with her suitcases, she caught me off guard, but I was happy to have her move in and had never been sorry that she became a permanent fixture. Not long after, Fab met her supermodel boyfriend, Didier, and decided, without a word to the man, to go to the hotel where he was staying, pack up his belongings, and unpack everything into the closet upstairs. Didier was a quick fit as a friend and family member. And nice to look at over morning coffee, or any other time. It made life easier that we had erratic schedules and were rarely all in the house at the same time.

            “I didn’t make any promises.”

The Man with the Golden Mind is mind blowing.

Although this book, by German author Tom Vater is a mystery, it is also fits into the suspense thriller genre with a strong helping of pulp fiction. Being from the U.S. and growing up in the Sixties, I only heard what the mainstream media told me about the Vietnam War. After 1973, when the first troops started coming home, it was the end of the war, as far as I was concerned. The MIAs were a constant source of worry and my heart went out to their loved ones, but after 1975 or so, Viet Nam just sort of  fell of the grid for most of the general public in my country.

Well, The Man with the Golden Mind brings postwar Viet Nam back on the grid. As you walk along with Cultural Attache Rendel and his mysterious spy cohort, code named Weldmeister, you can almost smell the damp smell from the muddy river. You can feel the humidity. You meet with those who seek justice after their families, their fortunes and their lives ended up in ruins. Unfortunately, in Rendel and Weldmeister's line of work, or outside his line of work in Rendel's case, you couldn't trust anybody.

In 2001, Rendel's daughter Julia seeks the services of Detective Maier to find out what happened to her father in Viet Nam back in 1976, when he ended up dead. Soon, this beauty goes missing This is a high adrenaline piece and I won't tell you anything more without releasing any spoilers.
