"In this throw-back mystery, Frank Yakabuski is on his first case. A man has been killed, high on the Northern Divide, in the sleepy mill town of Muskie Falls. The cops soon have four good suspects, but to their surprise and growing frustration, none of the men will tell them what they know about the night of the murder. As the investigation stalls, a serial killer with a vendetta against Yakabuski is making his way to Muskie Falls. In a shocking confrontation inside the run-down hotel where the killing took place, this deadly predator will ultimately end the police investigation, and leave the murder unsolved. For twenty-one years. Until the reason those four good suspects never talked is finally revealed, in a final plot twist that will leave you thinking about a mysterious called Muskie Falls for days to come. A gritty and evocative noir tale that will keep you guessing to the final pages."--

"Danny Barrett is caught between a family of criminals and the psychopath who is tracking them in the latest novel of the series the New York Times calls, "Dynamite." The FBI has a hundred undercover agents who can work in the city, but Danny Barrett is the one they call when they need someone to investigate crimes in the wilderness. This case is a particularly difficult one. For more than a century the Danby family have ruled as kings in their corner of the Pacific Northwest. The Feds were mostly willing to look the other way while the family smuggled everything from liquor to cigarettes across the border, but lately things have taken a darker turn. A recent bank robbery in Seattle looks like it may have been committed by the Danbys, but there's no way the FBI can get any locals to turn against them. Only Danny Barrett has what it takes to get inside the organization and shut them down. But before Danny can do that he's going to have to contend with Henry Carter, a former in-law and current psychopath. The Danbys thought they left Henry for dead in the deepest part of the woods, but he's coming back. He'll go to hell to get his revenge, and he's willing to take the whole family with him"--

CAPE DIAMOND is the page-turning, gripping second book in the Edgar(R)-nominated and Arthur Ellis Award-nominated Frank Yakabuski Mystery Series by Ron Corbett. Yakabuski is called to investigate a gruesome crime scene. A body has been left hanging from a schoolyard fence. On closer inspection, Yak finds a large diamond in the murder victim's mouth. Two criminal gangs - the Shiners and the Travellers - are fighting with each other, and Yakabuski turns to his father, a now-retired detective who has a long history with the gangs, for advice in the interrogation. Is the conflict over the murder of two men? The kidnapping of a little girl? Or, possibly, the diamond found in Augustus Morrissey's mouth? As if this weren't enough for one detective, a serial killer is taking a deadly road trip through the United States, heading towards the Northern Divide. Ron Corbett weaves the various strands together with ingenuity, making Cape Diamond a brooding, suspense-filled story of hubris, betrayal, and evil deeds; his writing is sparse and taut, compelling the reader to follow the action and gang conflict to a surprise ending.
