"This dark mystery thriller features a stunning twist that turns the tables on the story's white supremacy angle.
Ray Drucker is shot in the face while sitting in his car in a drugstore parking lot, and his wife has hired Dora to find his killer. Dora quickly learns that his murder is connected to another, five years earlier. As the bodies pile up, Dora and Missy find that the killings are connected to a dark and violent web of white supremacists.
The victims were all members of a club with a barely hidden racist agenda.
Fans and lovers of noir and hard-boiled dark thrillers and mysteries will love the Dora Ellison Mystery Series."

Mother and daughter are in the Philippines with the rogue federal agent Brent Danes, the man who broke up Luke's engagement to Becca through a series of missteps and accidental encounters.
Are Brent and Becca now together, together, or are they just two friends with big troubles helping each other out? Maria arranges a missionary trip to Manila to give Luke cover to travel discreetly. Luke needs to find Becca without outing Danes' location to the authorities.
Luke's hunt for his ex-fiancée and possible daughter begin to merge with events of the missionary trip raising the stakes for several of the players. Can Luke stay out of the crosshairs of the feds looking to catch Danes, while at the same time not break Becca's rules that he must follow if he wants to meet his possible child?
Meanwhile, Brent Danes needs to walk the tightrope of working with a Russian operative who is his current benefactor, without being forced to work for him.

Luke and Becca are engaged and very much in love. Their romance seems perfect and lasting, but will a violent criminal under protective custody, preparing to rat out his former trafficker buddies, bring trouble not only to Michigan but also to the perfect romance?
Is the dashing new Federal agent a friend or foe? Is he a playboy, a bad boy, or just a flat-out traitor? Will the chaos in Michigan affect the outcome of the trial in Texas that's set to shut down the traffickers for good, locking up the leaders for life? Or will everything work out in the end?
The drama is interstate and international. There are multiple couples with various dynamics. Which lady is on the gone side of the fence? And is it only one?
If you enjoyed listening to (or reading) The Timing of Maria, then you'll love the excitement in this its sequel. The Gone Side of the Fence is also engaging as a standalone story."
