"Charlie Noble, former-Coast-Guard-officer-turned-marine-PI, is back. This time, he is hot on the trail of a human trafficking scheme that begins in Mexico ... and ends in murder." "Still reeling from the untimely death of his wife, Charlie begins to warm to the idea of a second chance at true love with new girlfriend Kate Sullivan. These plans ace quickly docked when boating friend Marvin and Angola Baynes come to him with a horrifying discovery - the body of an unidentified young woman impaled on the flukes of their boat anchor. The Bayneses themselves lost a child years ago. No stranger to loss, Charlie finds it impossible not to help them - even though it could mean putting his new romance in jeopardy." Charlie enlists a new friend, Raven, a Native-American salvage diver. Together, the pair plunge beneath the waters of Puget Sound to seek out and clues about the identity of the dead woman and how she wound up there. But they find more bodies instead - all young, all female, all Hispanic. Soon Charlie finds himself navigating a course that leads him through the choppy waters of transporting human cargo, and right into the seedy underworld of the Northwest's sex trade.

Precious Cargo
There's a new, at least to me, dimension on the block now. Author, Clyde Ford, mentioned that he had hooked up his book to Google Earth 3D. Not only that, but you here him reading the book too - at least with IE7 (I didn't get everything to work with Firefox 3 or IE8 beta). Wow! It's awesome.
His book is a murder mystery & takes place around Seattle. With Google earth, you can zoom in & actually see not only where the action is taking place, but the buildings that are there & everything. He has a great reading voice, too.
His website is & once you get in there, look for the blue OnScene link on the right. It is really worth the trip.
I just finished reading it & it's a good thriller. A bit too politically correct & I didn't care that much for the bit of mysticism, but overall it was a good read with believable characters & a good plot. We knew who the bad guys were pretty early on, but so did our hero & he had his work cut out for him trying to prove his point. I thought he went a bit too far without a good reason, but it wasn't terribly done & made for a good wind up. 3.5 stars with a bit extra thrown in for the web site & him being new to me. I'll look for his other books.
