The case quickly expands in scope and complexity as the missing man’s former co-workers at a large insurance company are discovered to have recently met their deaths under mysterious circumstances.

The trail of bodies leads Chauncey throughout southern California and Mexico as he attempts to unravel twisting plots to bring the killer to justice.
A desperate client begs Chauncey McFadden, Los Angeles PI, to find his gay lover who has vanished. Although LAPD believes the victim to be deceased based upon randomly strewn body parts, Chauncey agrees to investigate and begins contacting the paramour’s former co-workers at a large insurance company to see if they know his whereabouts. However, the case quickly expands in scope and complexity as Chauncey learns each co-worker has met his death under mysterious and bizarre circumstances. The only common thread linking the victims is their former employer but this is a weak association at best. | |  | | Death Cruise
Private Investigator McFadden receives a frantic phone call from the president of a Miami-based cruise line. Two employees have been killed in port and Chauncey is hired to solve those crimes and prevent further atrocities. The portly, wisecracking Chauncey has limited homicide experience, but naively accepts this job thinking it will be little more than a free vacation. However, things quickly fall apart as the body count climbs onboard ship and in Caribbean island ports of call. A shipment of drugs being smuggled into Miami disappears from the ship before its delivery which unleashes a vengeful vendetta upon everyone in its path.
This riveting, fast-paced story is propelled by a myriad of twisting, intertwined plots which include a secret drug-smuggling cartel with voodoo roots that deals with its enemies in vicious ritualistic fashion, an aging silver screen legend obsessed with revenge who is not what he appears to be, a powerful corporate takeover artist thwarted in his recent attempt to seize control of the cruise line, and an international assassin for hire who thwarts prosecution with a novel approach to murder.
From Jamaica, Curacao, Venezuela, Barbados, Martinique, the U. S. Virgin Islands and the Dominican Republic, Chauncey barely escapes three attempts on his own life and muddles through a maze of murder to solve not only his original homicide assignment, but a host of other crimes as well.
