Then came The Eternity Look, a Dalton Keys mystery set in San Bernardino county featuring US Marshal Dalton Keys who tracks a vicious killer of a father and paraplegic son; followed by Domino, a close-up look at the transportation of illegal drugs. The third in the series The Sweat Box introduces the subject of spy torture in a mystery thriller about corrupt landowners and corrupt land deals in a hard bitten landscape in which small farm owners are without adequate land or monetary reward. Her professional experience is as an investigator of child abuse crimes for a Children’s Protective Services unit.
