MURDER MOST JUDGMENTAL A DETECTIVE JAKE SWANSON MURDER MYSTERYA prominent family law judge and his wife lay dead in their driveway with fingers of suspicion pointing at the possibility that their deaths is a revenge killing by disgruntled client; or mayberetribution by a wealthy father upset at a judge's ruling; or something more sinister--a hit on the judge who is also a Naval officer investigating an international plot to smuggle nuclear material into the mid-east.
All of these possibilities lead Newport Beach Detective Jake Swanson on the hunt for a killer, or killers. Lead through the local courthouse, the upscale neighborhoods of Southern California, and a federal prison, while fending off the intrusions of a nosy NIS agent, an over-controlling chief of police, and a love-sick partner, all intent on making Jake's life miserable.
The burning question is whether Jake can find the killer, or will he bill killed first?

From the Author:
I LOVE Newport Beach, California. It is rich with characters of all types, all seeking to get ahead by hook or by crook, with murder never too far away.
Meet the central character of all the Murder Most series, Detective Jake Swanson, the embodiment of California surfer who never met a wave, a bar, or a woman's body he didn't want to surf. Unfortunately for him, the Chief of Police dislikes him, and doubly unfortunately for Jake, the citizens of his fair city have a yen for killing, keeping him way too busy for his taste.
Also, Newport Beach is not just an enclave of wealthy Southern California suburbanites, it is also the power center for many residents who have international connections. Drug dealers seeking to keep a low profile, international arms dealers looking for a safe place to live, and miscreants of all stripes gravitate to the man-made bay by the sea to make this place their home.
This makes it the perfect location for a man who was born wealthy, but never sought to work too hard to be a homicide detective. After all, who gets killed in sunny, rich California?Hang on as I take you through the bars, hang-outs, and beaches of Southern California as Jake hunts murders, and I hunt for the perfect story.
