Emerald Ridge: A Max Blake Mystery

By William Florence

A "fast-paced, twist-and-turn sleigh ride of story-telling, meticulously plotted and beautifully written." Hard-boiled detective and former muck-raking journalist Max Blake's discovery of a long-dreaded postcard from Ireland, tucked into his mailbox one morning, is the catalyst that touches off a cross-continent search for his fianc e's favorite uncle. The Rev. Sean "Jack" O'Lennox, the archbishop of St. Patrick's Roman Catholic Cathedral in Armagh, Northern Ireland, is missing, and the postcard - a pre-arranged signal - is his apparent cry for help. Max is prepared to do everything in his considerable power to help Caeli Brown, his longtime partner in the Blake & Brown Detective Agency and soon-to-be wife. But she slips off to Ireland without him, and he is left with a double quandary: finding Caeli, and then determining the fate of the archbishop, a complicated man who believes that British-held Ulster should be returned to the Irish Republic by any means necessary. EMERALD RIDGE is a thrill-a-minute sleigh-ride that features unforgettable characters, sleight-of-hand twists and turns providing surprise after revelation after bombshell. Toss in a love story and you have what it takes for a riveting Max Blake Mystery.
