The Washington McBride Series

Mike and Lady Dog move to Washington D.C. after Mike wins election as the Junior Senator from New Mexico. Mike is soon bored with the slow pace and inaction of his senate job. He misses his wife, Juliette, and his old gang at the Carson City Police Department. He soon becomes involved with the Fairfax County, VA PD, investigating a string of mysterious disappearances of teenage women. Plenty of intrigue, excitement, and mystery follows, with Mike and Lady Dog right in the thick of things.

At last, Juliette is able to join Senator Mike McBride in their new Arlington, VA apartment. After time off for a joyous homecoming, Mike goes to work in his Senate office while Juli unpacks and takes the train downtown for lunch with an old friend, Fran Whittaker, who tells Juli of her suspicions. Soon this dangerous knowledge leads to Fran's disappearance and Juliette's investigative reporter's nose getting her in a whole lot of trouble.

Cynthia and Dan first met in in the Washington McBride Series: The Fairfax Fix. Fans of Mike McBride will remember Cynthia as Senator Mike's pseudo office receptionist while, behind the scenes, acting as his bodyguard and chief of security. In this current novel, Cynthia decides to take on the ISIS terrorists and their crony counterparts in a 21st century war waged online, for the most part, using the very latest high-tech equipment.
