G D Brown
Graphic Betrayal
Pbk published December 2006 by Trafford Publishing Canada at £9.95
ISBN: 1412095301
Philip Davidson stands on the roof terrace of his London Docklands penthouse, overlooking the River Thames, contemplating how he can become even richer still. He already runs a successful courier service with a fleet of motorcycles at his command, and other businesses that he will not discuss. He is passionate about classic Jaguar cars, and owns quite a few.
Philip’s brother, Robert, is an artist working for Graphic Solutions, a company that regularly uses Philip’s courier firm to deliver artwork. Robert and his wife, Jennifer, are living in a leafy suburb with their three children. Toby, the eldest, is a rider for Philip’s courier company, and is riding a fast Kawasaki 750 GT when he is stopped for speeding. The police are horrified to find illicit photographs in the Kawasaki panniers, which possibly involve a minor. Toby is taken to a London police station where Jennifer’s brother, Mathew Weekes, is called to represent him. From now on, Mathew is torn between his legal duties, and protecting his family.
Philip Davidson is also arrested, but Mathew has refused to help him. Instead, another solicitor, who Mathew remembers from the past, has been recruited. Both solicitors discover vital information about the photographs, but they collaborate, revealing nothing to the police.
Another of Mathew’s clients, Martin McCormack, is facing serious fraud charges, but blames everything on a character called Bernie Cullum. While searching for Cullum, McCormack unknowingly links Mathew’s family to the crimes, with devastating consequences.
Mathew and Jennifer’s mother had died in a boating accident. Their father, now terminally ill in a hospice, constantly rambles about how he failed to save his wife from drowning. But he is also holding a dark family secret, which he has unwittingly revealed to a mysterious visitor. The visitor now seeks an evil revenge.
G. D. Brown was born in East London, not far from the River Thames, on the borders of the City of London. She received a strict grammar school education in London, England, where the emphasis on English literature and grammar was paramount. This has had an everlasting influence on her love of words and writing.
The author has achieved a Bachelor of Science in Social Policy and Criminology, and Diplomas in Psychology and Criminal Law. She has worked as a police station representative, and has gained other peripheral qualifications and experience in all areas of law, having spent over thirty years in the English legal profession. This novel draws on those experiences.

The First Bert Nichols
Mystery
Bert Nichols is the reluctant chief of security for a second rate hotel in Kona, Hawaii. As a refugee from his not too distant drinking days, he struggles to keep his head above water and his eye on the prize. The prize turns out to be the lovely Nina or is it her identical twin Tina? Bert is never quite sure which one he is with at any given time.
His sweetly confusing life is turned up side down when the body of Mexican drug lord, Benito Juarez Guzman is found face down in room 427 of the hotel. Someone fired two warning shots through the back of Benito’s head. Now everyone from an irritating Drug Enforcement agent to a pair of very happy Japanese VIPs to Benito’s lethal business associates seem to want Bert to find the killer.
He seeks help from a group of street-wise transvestites, who hook him up with a loopy ex-hit man from the east coast and a quiet little clairvoyant who is dying of cancer. As the tide of chaos rises around him, Bert keeps hearing a small voice telling him he’s being set up. Nothing is what it seems and everyone knows something they’re not telling.
Was Benito executed by a rival gang of Columbians bent on controlling the Hawaiian marijuana trade or is there a deeper power struggle being played out? Bert must be getting close to the answer because someone keeps trying to kill him.

Lisa Eisemann
Murder, Salinas Style.Bk. 1.
Pbk published December 2006 by Trafford Publishing Canada at £8.95
ISBN: 1412098459
Fifty-four true murder stories are told in this history of Salinas, a city with a long, violent history. See the cases through the eyes of the detectives who worked them.
Murder has long been part of the history of the City of Salinas. From the deaths of innocent children to the horrible and savage mutilation of wives, shop owners and neighbors, Salinas has been rocked by the horror of dozens of murders in the years since the city fathers voted to hire the first police chief in 1903. In addition to being home to one of the first known female serial killers, Salinas has long fought a reputation of being the gang murder capital of California. The truth is that Salinas has had more victims of murders in non gang- related cases than its residents perhaps would want to know. In Murder, Salinas Style: Book One, the stories of fifty-four murder victims are told. None of the stories, nor the people in them are gang- related. The frightening details of each of the crimes are told through the eyes of the police detectives who worked the cases and the newspaper articles that told only part of the story. Many of the murderers were caught and stood trial, but in some cases the murders remain unsolved. It is hoped this book will remind the citizens of Salinas of the many victims who go unremembered and perhaps jog the memory of a witness who might help solve one of the cold cases that remain open today.
Born in Salinas, Lisa Eisemann attended Santa Catalina School before receiving a Bachelor’s Degree in Criminology at San Jose State and continuing in a graduate program at U.C. Berkeley in Forensic Criminalistics.
A licensed private investigator for many years, Lisa Eisemann met husband Joe Gunter during a murder investigation. Gunter was the lead homicide detective for the Salinas Police Department and Eisemann was the defense investigator on the case. Both were experts in crime scene processing and gangs and found a common interest in finding the truth in the cases they worked. Eisemann’s grandmother had been the first female police officer for Salinas and was the subject of her first book, The First Police Woman, A History of the Salinas Police Department. The writing of the complete history of the department was responsible for the discovery of past murders of interest and led to the idea for a series of books covering the many murders that have taken place in Salinas since 1903 when the police department was formally authorized.
Eisemann also owns The Salinas School of Dance and is the director of the Spirit of Salinas Irish Dance Company. With her team of dancers, she has traveled to Ireland to compete in world level competitions and teaches and performs throughout central California. Eisemann and Gunter continue to live and work in Salinas with their daughter, Terrin, who plans a career in law enforcement as a canine officer or as a forensic pathologist.

The Celebrity of Anders Hecht
Pbk published November 2006 by Trafford Publishing Canada at £10.99
ISBN: 1412096006
An intricate whodunnit which delves deeper into human motives
than most. As well as witnessing the unravelling of a very subtle murder
the reader follows the enigmatic Inspector Rojas on a journey into one

looked for and which he might well have renounced if he could. There is a
great deal to think about here in what gives rise to love and how easily it
can become its opposite. Arising from the remarkable, historically accurate
turmoil of Paris 1968 the story examines how great ideals can make ordinary
life impossible.
Robert Graham has had drama produced on BBC radio and has

ISBN: 1425103456
Einstein’s Design transports the reader via the world of physics, religion, psychology and romance on a journey of mystery, murder, intrigue and surprise that answers the eternal God question.
Too soon after the horrifying BTK fiasco of twenty five years in Wichita, Kansas, another and more terrifying threat faces the people in that city. Not one citizen of Wichita would have anticipated that the Ku Klux Klan, allied with the Evangelical Fundamentalist Christian Right, would bring violence and fear once again to their city.
A depraved partnership between the Klan and the radical fundamentalist Christian right is formed in an effort to condemn and destroy the secret cosmos theory developed by Albert Einstein and Bahartiya Bharti; a theory of pre-Big Bang existence and the truth about the idea of God!
The evil begins when Kamala Bharti, a young Physics Professor at Friends University in Wichita, Kansas and grand-daughter of Dr. Bahartiya Bharti, is brutally assaulted because of her outspoken position regarding certain Christian religious beliefs.

Fatal Implant
Pbk published December 2006 by Trafford Publishing Canada at £15.50
ISBN: 1425100929
John Lockwood, a young vascular surgeon, moves to California to an HMO position with his wife Carla and sixteen year old son Tim. Conflicts of interest inside the HMO are minimized in his mind in deference to the promising new opportunity.
John soon gets a strong dose of those conflicts, when a patient dies from needless delay in treatment. Further into the clutches of the HMO, he is strong-armed into doing human testing of their new surgical implant. The research goes well, and both his son and brother receive an implant. But there are unexplained disasters.
The implant seems to virtually stalk a specific group of patients and kills them. To find the culprits, Carla discovers a crucial piece of evidence and is kidnapped.
The author takes you behind the scenes to reveal how the experts handle such dire disasters.
When the cause of the disasters is found, it is suddenly a race against time and the elements to stop the next one. Can John save his own son? It's a close call that takes him to a small hospital in snow country, before this hair raising thriller comes to a photo finish between death and Dr. Lockwood, a race too close to call until the last chapter, where another life is grasped from the jaws of death in this medical mystery.
A native of Denmark, Dr. Ulf Jensen trained at Yale and Columbia to practice vascular surgery and emergency medicine in the US and Denmark. Still in active practice, he draws on decades of personal experience to write medical articles as well as credible fiction. He lives with his family in California.
