Debts Unsettled

A mysterious yard sale book has the power to change destiny.

On Portland Oregon’s rain-soaked streets, a deadly game of cat and mouse unfolds, both in the present and in the past.

His mother’s unsolved murder has haunted attorney Michael Mays for 30 years. In a chance discovery, he buys a mysterious book—published in 1942—with an impossible power: the ability to send him back in time.

As Daniel Wygal, a paroled convict, unravels the threads of his past, he learns of Michael’s book. He launches a sadistic hunt for Michael and the book. Between them stands the enigmatic Joe, whose true motives remain shrouded in mystery.

“When you pick this book up, you cannot put it down. This is a crime novel unlike any I have read, moving from the present to the past, and back again. There is love, unremitting tension, and there is danger. It will keep you up at night.”

Excellent mystery and a heartwarming story of a family dealing with a murder although it was 30 years ago.

Kept me reading! I enjoyed reading Debts Unsettled. It was a good mystery read and it kept me interested. I couldn’t put the book down. I look forward to the sequel.

~ Meichiel Weiss, GoodReads reviewer

“I wasn't sure what to expect from an author I wasn't familiar with. I was more than impressed. The characters were well developed, the story did not get bogged down with too much detail but flowed very smoothly. But mostly it kept me guessing and wanting to keep reading. I am really looking forward to his next book.”

Very fast paced, couldn't put it down! Looking forward to a sequel!”

~ Cristen, GoodReads reviewer

The book is well written with a fast pace that is hard to put down. Because the author did not have to prop up the story with lewd language and sex, this is a great book to recommend to family and friends.”
