A girl with no name... Penny doesn't remember much about her childhood and what she does remember isn't all that great. She and her mother moved too many times to a series of cheap motels. There were too many men visiting her mother and none of them were her father. As for him, all Penny knew was that her father was rich and dead. When she was found abandoned on a deserted beach on the Salish Sea when she was four years old, Penny didn't even know her own name. Shunted from one foster home to another, she struggled to overcome the odds. When a Police Detective from the Victoria, B.C. Police Department calls about remains that were identified as belonging to her mother, Penny starts a quest to find out what happened to her and who her father really is. She enlists crime reporter Tess McClintock and Michael Carter to help her find her family, but when they start uncovering Penny's past, not everyone is happy to learn their connection to the girl with no name. The Salish Sea is a new standalone book in the Salish Sea Crime Thriller series.

A teenage girl's body washes up on the beach near Deception Pass. Just another girl who disappeared in the night. Tess McClintock and Michael Carter dig deeper into the missing and murdered girls and young women in the Pacific Northwest sex trafficking ring, and in the process, Tess comes a bit too close for comfort to the danger. The next book in the Salish Sea series, Deception Pass chronicles Tess and Michael's fight to find and stop a killer before he strikes again.
