    Welcome

Welcome to my web site.  I trust that you enjoy reading mystery novels as much as I enjoy writing them.  For many of you who haven't been on the job, and in spite of the plethora of cop shows on TV, police work remains a fascinating occupation. With that thought in mind I invite you to browse this site to learn more about me and the Chad Belmontes mystery series.  Enjoy your time here, and if you purchase my books I sincerely hope you enjoy the read.

It began with a simple lie. A concocted report, written by a veteran cop, to close what he thought was an unworkable case. And it wasn't intended to hurt anyone.

    When Metro Detective Sergeant Chad Belmontes wraps up a case by falsely reporting he has met with the witness, he unwittingly gives the witness an alibi for murder.

    Caught up in his lie, he attempts to find the witness before his superiors can discover the truth. But the witness has vanished; and what Belmontes doesn't know, but will soon learn, is that his bogus  report has set in motion a scenario of death and deceit that Will threaten to end his career–and his life.  

    The more Belmontes searches or the witness, the more complicated things become. It turns into a game of cat and mouse leading to a Chinese crime boss who will go to any lengths to prevent him from finding the witness

and discovering the real reason behind his mysterious disappearance. A fast paced mystery that will keep you in its grip.

In a strange motel room on the night before his wedding, retired Detective Sergeant Chad Belmontes wakens to a living nightmare. On the bed beside him is the body of a strangled hooker, and everything points to  him as her

killer. With no memory of how he got there, or who the dead woman is, he flees the grisly scene determined to find out what really happened.  To learn the answer, he must begin his desperate search for the truth. And he must fine it before the police arrest him for murder.

   With the help of his fiancee, Cassie Wong, Belmontes turns up several leads that suggest someone s trying to frame him.  But the closer

he comes to discovering the identity of the person responsible, the more incredible his situation becomes. For every clue points to a man that he knows is irrefutably dead.  A Chinese crime boss, gunned down in a  China-

town alley--and Belmontes pulled the

trigger.
