Iberian Ties

Without a motive, how do you catch a killer? A gripping thriller in the vein of Harlan Coben, Paula Hawkins, and Lee Child. A rising star psychiatrist, American Nate Shelley is in Spain's Canary Islands, making his world debut at a convention. But after delivering his keynote address, he and his fiancée Miro are arrested for murder. Nate knows he's not guilty, but is his future wife involved in some way in the crime? Miro's directly implicated when the murder victim is identified as her stalker. Is Nate's career ruined? Is he facing life imprisonment? Does the American couple stand a chance of convincing the Spanish authorities--and Interpol--that they're innocent? Not in a post-Brexit, anti-Trump European environment. Racing to clear their names, Nate and Miro will soon be embroiled in sham investigations, powerful cartels, and family secrets finally coming to light. Full of intrigue, this gritty international crime novel is a thrilling ride.

The Unraveling

Psychoanalyst NATE SHELLEY and his family are back in Chicago attempting to settle into a tranquil life after escaping a European drug lord's quest for revenge. The international criminal, DIEGO MONTEMAYOR, blames Nate and his family for the death of his wife who perished in a hospital fire in the Canary Islands. Three years after their return, however, Professor MIR EPSTEIN-SHELLEY, Nate's wife, is kidnapped. Following an anonymous tip, Nate tracks down his drugged wife to a local hotel room with a dead stranger on her bed. The detective in charge of the investigation declares the death of the stranger a murder. When the police fail to come up with the identity of the dead man or the murderer, Shelley realizes that the three-year-old problems that he thought were left behind in the Spanish archipelago, are far from over. Soon, Nate Shelley realizes that things are not what they appear to be. Although local officials enlist the help of federal authorities to solve the kidnapping and the murder, the investigation lingers without any resolution. With continued anonymous tips coming from Miro's kidnapper, Nate pursues a parallel investigation with the help of his family. At each step Nate appears to get resistance and even opposition from the legal authorities that should be helping in the investigation. Finally, Nate Shelley concludes that unless he can confront the criminals responsible for the murder, his family will never be secure.
