Book Synopsis:
Clay Wolfe is a former Boston homicide detective who has left the police department to return home to Maine to care for his elderly grandfather and open a private detective agency. Haunted by being orphaned at an early age, and jaded by the corruption of the big city, Clay is happy to hit pause and investigate minor crimes. When he is hired to find out who sold the drugs that killed a six-month-old baby girl, he has no idea of the evil that he is going to uncover in the underbelly of his hometown. Wolfe Trap is a thrilling ride set in a small Maine town with rich characters and shocking plot twists that will keep the reader rapt until the final pages.

- I once owned a video store and the first new releases that I stocked were Thelma & Louise and Point Break.
- I can touch my nose with my tongue.

- Goff Langdon, Clay Wolfe, and Fidel Castro copied me by driving black Jeeps.
- I once rode a blind pony into a swimming pool. By mistake. No ponies were injured during this calamity.
