A New Killer Has Hit The Streets. When a college athlete is found naked in a tree with duck feathers in his hair and a dead ducks head in his mouth you know it’s going to be a very long day for Puta Gorda PD’s notoriously mismatched detectives, Flynt and Steele. Was it a peculiar suicide, or is foul play involved? As they delve deeper into the mystery they discover a mind enhancing new drug has hit the streets and bodies are beginning to stack up. The only link they can find is a little yellow rubber ducky. When Flynt gets the notion that maybe he should try the new drug and open up the rest of his brain, things start to go south. Rapidly! From the college lab, to illegal raves, and the county morgue, the street drug Ducky is wreaking havoc on Puta Gorda.

Michael Maxwell
Author · 12 books

Micheal Maxwell has traveled the globe on the lookout for strange sights, sounds, and people. His adventures have taken him from the Jungles of Ecuador and the Philippines to the top of the Eiffel Tower and the Golden Gate Bridge, and from the cave dwellings of Native Americans to The Kehlsteinhaus, Hitler’s Eagles Nest! He’s always looking for a story to tell and interesting people to meet. Micheal Maxwell was taught the beauty and majesty of the English language by Bob Dylan, Robertson Davies, Charles Dickens, and Leonard Cohen. Mr. Maxwell has traveled the globe, dined with politicians, rock stars, and beggars. He has rubbed shoulders with priests and murderers, surgeons and drug dealers, each one giving him a part of themselves that will live again in the pages of his books. Micheal Maxwell has found a niche in the mystery, suspense, genre with The Cole Sage Series that gives readers an everyman hero, short on vices, long on compassion, and a sense of fair play, and the willingness to risk everything to right wrongs. The Cole Sage Series departs from the usual, heavily sexual, profanity-laced norm and gives readers character-driven stories, with twists, turns, and page-turning plot lines. Micheal Maxwell writes from a life of love, music, film, and literature. Along with his lovely wife and travel partner, Janet, he lives in a small town in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California.
