In BLOOD ON THE SNOW private investigator Duff Kerrigan goes north into the Maine woods to inform two brothers that they have inherited a fortune. He expects to be greeted with gratitude and joy. Instead, on an isolated lake in the wilderness of winter, he is met with hostility that threatens his life.
In A NIGHT ON THE TOWN a flashy young Mexican slips across the border and comes to New York looking for excitement. He believes he can outsmart the gringos and easily get what he wantswomen and money. Guess what he finds.
In REDEMPTION a former tennis star is given a hand-made map found on a mountain on the Maine/Canadian border where her eccentric brother had died. The map was like those she and her brother had made when they were children. The police found only meaningless marks on a partially rotted piece of paper. She found a drawing of a skull on the map that told her where her brother had hidden money that hundreds of people had gone there looking for. She hired Duff Kerrigan to find the money and put an end to the searching, which she considered a desecration. He finds more than he was looking for.
