PONTIAC PIRATES, the fourth book in the Bowers series, finds DETECTIVE JOHN BOWERS and his partner Minnie Rae catching another grisly case in the backwater of Portland's industrial zone. It all comes down when Bowers is in shouting distance of a burbling trout stream in Alaska and looking forward to breaking in a new bride -- his third. But this time it's for keeps. This newest homicide brings back haunting memories of the tsunami of pain and frustration his job has demanded in his twenty-plus years in the Robbery Homicide Division of the Portland PD. The victim is young, engaged to be married to her high school sweetheart, obeying all the rules to keep safe when her life and future are snuffed out way too soon. Her killer has left little behind, and the homicide team has to double-down on instinct and scanty evidence to track their man. They follow hard-won leads in a dogged pursuit of what they know will be a long slog through a psychopath's twisted trail of murder and fantasy. Now it's John and Minnie's job to put their personal lives on hold while they track a sadistic killer stalking the night and try one more time to find justice for the innocent.
