Cold Dark MatterCold Dark Matter

Cold Dark Matter is the second book in the Morgan O'Brien series. When a promising young astronomer is found hanging from the struts of the FrancoCanadian Telescope in Hawaii, Ottawa wants an investigation. They're not interested in the cause of death -- suicide or murder -- but his research diaries are missing, and they want them back. Morgan is sent out to find them.

Once on the Big Island, though, she discovers she's not alone. Someone else is chasing the diaries and they are more than willing to kill to get them. The search leads Morgan from the desolate summit of Mauna Kea deep into Ottawa's past, where the shadow of the Cold War still obscures the truth.

“… this excellent novel about good and evil, past and present, and the social consequences of 9/11… is more than just a fine mystery. It’s full of fascinating information, all told in understandable language. The message, when it comes, is chillingly clear.” Margaret Cannon, Toronto Globe and Mail.

Dead Water Creek Dead Water Creek

In Dead Water Creek Morgan nabs a case to investigate a high-profile salmon scientist accused of embezzling research funds. The case has everything she loves -- big money, big science and big politics -- but best of all, it means a trip to scenic Vancouver and a week away from Bob. Even before she leaves, though, things don't add up. Parts of the file are missing, instructions are penned on untraceable post-it notes, and restrictions are put on the investigation.

Once in Vancouver, what seemed like a straightforward case is anything but. People disappear, bodies float to the surface, and Morgan begins to suspect that even those closest to her may be involved.
