Book Title:
Riff Raff
By Doc Macomber

Paperback | $14.95 | Mystery | 978-0-9785717-9-5

"The Indian boy's sagging corpse, seated high in the rainforest canopy, inexplicably sported a NY Yankee baseball cap. The grisly discovery made by a mischievous capuchin shakes loose a deadly eyelash viper and a stack of blood spattered money, triggering a chain reaction which includes: a driven eco-activist, a protective expat soldier, drug cartels, veterinarians, local authorities and two burnt out American tourists who came to the lush Costa Rican rainforest for a much needed rest. The exhausted Vietnamese investigator and his flame-haired pathologist girlfriend, soon find themselves on a "working vacation" when they uncover a murder instead of the assumed accidental death."

The Killer Coin -Audio Book Version (on 5 CDs) >>

Listen to a preview click here !

This is the book that started the whole Jack Vu Series.
Embedded in the slender neck of the burned corpse, a gold coin beckons. Its surprising thumbprint peels back the veneer on a morass of intrigue that threatens to destroy military investigator Jack Vu's sense of order and his career. As his hunt for the murderer unravels, Vu ricochets from the Big Easy to the unlucky waters of the Pacific Northwest. Along the road, he discovers unlikely allies and unexpected enemies. Reinforcements appear in the form of cantankerous swamp rats, bush pilots and more than a few shots of bourbon. Love, betrayal, honor, and a final sense of justice play out as this case crashes on the rocks.
