The Islands Investigations International team is back This time,
Kyra Rachel and Noel Franklin are sleuthing around Quadra Island in
the employ of Noel's old high school buddy, Jason Cooper. In a
quiet wooded area of the island, Jason, his wife and two younger
boys are worried for the oldest son in the family. Derek was
discovered badly beaten in the woods by Campbell River and has
remained in a deep coma for three weeks. Desperate to find out what
happened to his son and why, Jason hires Noel and Kyra. As the two
get to know the sleepy island community, they're surprised to
discover that Derek may have been in on a drug deal--but why?
Others in the community describe him as a decent young man with a
good head on his shoulders--what could have possibly pushed him to
deal in drugs? Kyra and Noel aren't even certain the drug deal is
connected to the attack, so who would want to hurt this young man
and why? Kyra and Noel are determined to find out what
circumstances could have drawn this happy family into such dark
territory. Also available in paperback.

has died of an apparent heroin overdose. When his grieving mother
bends over to kiss her son's corpse at the viewing, she shrieks,
"That's not Sandro " Convinced that her son must still be alive,
Maria Vasiliadis hires Kyra Rachel and Noel Franklin to solve the
mystery. With questions of foul play continuing to swirl around the
death, the detectives' inquiries lead them deeper into Sandro's
life and eventually to a medical clinic that specializes in
transgendering. The second in the Islands Investigations
International Mystery series, "Always Kiss the Corpse" takes Kyra
and Noel's investigation from the rush of Seattle to the seeming
peace of the San Juan Islands in this thrilling page-turner. It's

they unlock the secret to his death. Also available in hardcover.
Rose Gill Marchand, a paraplegic, brilliant botanist and co-owner,
with her husband, of Eaglenest Gallery on Gabriola Island, finds
the body of Roy Dempster, their gardener, sprawled dead on the
gallery grounds. An RCMP investigation ensues, without immediate
success. Upset by a suggestive gossipy article about the murder in
the local paper, Rose's husband, Artemus, calls on Noel Franklin,
an ex-investigative reporter living in Nanaimo on Vancouver Island,
and asks him to find evidence that will eliminate the spreading
rumours. Noel agrees to start looking into it and asks his
long-time friend Kyra Rachel an insurance investigator from
Bellingham, Washington, to assist him. As Noel and Kyra's inquiry
proceeds, they discover that islands like Gabriola hide secrets far
more mysterious than murder, far more dangerous than gossip, as
each investigator falls prey to the depravity of those they need to
trust. This is the first novel in George Szanto and Sandy Frances
Duncan's "Islands Investigations International" detective novel
series.
