THE BOOKS
Mystery...where the light and the dark meet.
​
The Matt Brennan series follows Matt Brennan, a forensic investigator in the newly formed Organized Crime Directorate of the RCMP. It’s 1994. The Millenium is approaching with its doom and gloom warnings of apocalyptical disruption. But in northern Ontario, where the burgeoning communications industry of cell phones and video links is still in the distance, just getting to your destination, by road, by water and sometimes by air and water in a float plane, is the everyday reality. As are forest fires, black flies and lakes affected by acid rain. The tourism industry represents a large part of the region’s economic prosperity, and these stories are set against that backdrop.

Silence of the Deep (Coming Soon)
​​​
Follow Matt Brennan in the second of this series, as he navigates a personal relationship fraught with emotional landmines while he attempts to bring his last case with the RCMP to a resolution.
Called back to his previous career to shepherd a high profile organized crime case to a successful conclusion in the courts, Matt is thrown into a tangled mess of missing evidence, threats to his life and to his family’s safety.
​
Supporting CJ as she searches for a missing piece of her past demands a level of commitment that Matt’s not sure he’s capable of providing. His personal credo of ‘just the facts’ epitomized by his work as a forensic accountant in the Economic Crime Directorate of the RCMP, crashes full force into CJ’s quest for answers and her unshakeable belief that something that can’t be a fact, is indeed, real.
​
Unaware that the two paths intersect, Matt finds himself once again facing a black hole of self-doubt. Can he be the person CJ needs right now? Can he fulfill his commitment to his RCMP responsibilities?
​
‘Silence of Deep’ takes you on a journey through the mysterious waters of the North Channel of Georgian Bay, and the dangerous world of organized crime clawing its way into new markets in Canada.​
