The Kidnapping: A Hunter & Holmes Mystery
The Hunter & Holmes Mystery Series is about two young teenagers living in the Silicon Valley who become amateur detectives to solve crimes that affect them, their friends, and their community. The Silicon Valley is a great place for two young teens to be growing up. There is fabulous weather all year round, lots of activities for young people to participate in, access to new technologies and innovations, and a great cultural life. With all of these things to do, and with their usual activities of school, arts, recreational sports, and doing things with their friends, why would best friends Jason Hunter and Daniel Holmes want to spend their time as detectives?
The answer has to do with motivation. When Jason is suddenly and mysteriously kidnapped in a public park in broad daylight, their carefree days of playing video games, and basketball, or just hanging out with each other and their circle of friends suddenly comes to a halt. Jason must now deal with all of the mental, physical and emotional impact that a crime victim experiences. Even more troubling is the fact that no one can figure out why he was kidnapped or who was responsible. Jason and his parents are nice people, outgoing and friendly, honorable in their relationships and business dealings. They are the last people you would think that someone would have a grudge against. They are a typical professional middle class couple, but not wealthy like many Silicon Valley CEOs or entrepreneurs.
After a ransom is paid and Jason is released by his kidnappers, Daniel, who is very angry about what happened to his best friend, also discovers that the Jason he knew before the kidnapping is slipping away in a sea of self-doubt. Daniel realizes that the only way Jason can fully recover from his ordeal is to find out the truth about the kidnapping. Why was it done and who did it? So he sets out to find these answers, and eventually convinces Jason to join him. The detective team of Hunter & Holmes is in business!

Double Fugue: A Hunter & Holmes Mystery
Double Fugue is the second novel in the Hunter & Holmes Mystery Series. The first novel in the series, The Kidnapping, focused on Jason a lot while the second novel has more to do with Daniel and his musical interests. The title refers to the two intertwining stories of the book, and the psychological impact that its events have on the two characters (besides Jason and Daniel) that this novel is about.
The main story line involves Daniel and his chance meeting with rock star Ethan Savage who is retiring from the music business and planning to give away most of his huge fortune from recording and publishing rights. When Daniel accidentally witnesses Ethan's mysterious disappearance and reappearance, he become involved in a very strange and troubling set of circumstances that end up having a major impact on his life. Daniel also discovers that there are many facets to music as he explores the pop side and learns about the concert/classical side through his interactions with Ethan Savage, Jason's friend Robert Fischer, and local educator and conductor David Molinari.
The other story line in Double Fugue begins when Marilyn and Jorge Ferreira, Jason's neighbors from down the block, knock on his door one evening and tell him how worried they are about their young nephew, 14-year-old Eric Acosta, who lives in Springdale, a small Monterey County town 70 miles south of the Silicon Valley. Eric apparently has been attacked and victimized, but refuses to talk about it with anyone, and seems to be withdrawing from communication with any adult, including his very concerned mother. Marilyn thinks that maybe Jason could get through to him, and asks him if he would be willing to try. Based on his own experiences as a crime victim and what he is told by the Ferreiras, Jason immediately senses that Eric has been victimized by a serious predator, and he and Daniel, along with their adult friend and advisor, Mr. Joe Connor, quickly set out to visit Eric and try to get him to reveal what happened. What they discover and become involved in is quite disturbing and gut wrenching!
This is a full length novel in its hard cover edition converted to a online format. Upon completing the order process, you will receive a pdf file by email that contains the entire novel with 29 full color illustrations. The file size is 3.8 MB in size. Allow 1-2 business days for delivery.
284 pages, illustrated. Contains the score to a complete musical arrangement performed by Daniel and his friends Eric and Diana.

When The Chips Are Down, A Hunter & Holmes Mystery
Spring break turns out to be anything but that for Jason and Daniel in the third novel of the series When the Chips Are Down. They agree to help their friend Richard Liu and his father Junjie try and figure out what is going on at his father’s work place, the DCC Chip Company, which has been recently plagued by hijackings of their new line of computer chips. Richard is worried that the company will go out of business and his family will lose everything if something isn’t done to stop the thefts. While looking for a young friend, Jason and Daniel stumble onto what appears to be another hijacking of DCC chips. Convinced that the thefts must be an inside job, Jason and Daniel pose as reporters from their high school newspaper to tour the plant and meet the employees.
The second element of the story starts with the urgent and desperate plea of Teresa Barnwell, a young girl living in a foster home. She asks Jason to visit a nearby boot camp for teenagers where Timothy Wilkinson, a mutual friend of theirs, has been sent. Teresa is convinced that Tim is being mistreated at the camp. In the past two weeks he has disappeared from the camp roster, all mail to him as been returned, and his parents were told that he has been sent to anger management training. When kids at the camp confirm that Tim and another kid named Cody did not get along with the camp authorities, were constantly being treated harshly, and believe that the two have been taken somewhere to be forced into submission, Jason and Daniel mount an all out campaign to find Tim and Cody before serious harm comes to them.
