Phil Pfieffer is an ex-Army Ranger turned private investigator who must outrun a psychopathic hit man, henchmen, ferocious sharks and even imprisonment to close the case. Marsh Island is Book 1 of The Hirebomber Crime Series. After a crushing injury, Army Ranger Phil Pfeifer is left for dead in the mountains of Iran only days before the start of the Gulf War. America cannot reveal such a violation of national sovereignty mere days before the invasion begins. His body may heal but the heart takes longer. Seeking a new life as a private investigator, Phil is hired to find a wayward husband enraptured with stars and the world's demise. A simple case of the midlife crazies stops when a boat captain is murdered at Phil's feet and the Mafia tries to kill him in a chase through the backstreets of Las Vegas. The spurned wife goads Phil to continue the search sending him into the tropics to face death, sharks, miles of open ocean, and prison. Look forward to Blind Marsh, the second book in The Hirebomber Crime Series and the thrilling conclusion to Phil's quest that includes a plot for murder at the highest levels that could change the face of America forever.
