New!!           A San Juan Island Mystery

 

A Cryptic Symbol on a Block of  Marble…

Anton Gropius understands.  The malicious vandal who ravaged his sculptures is not finished.  About to unveil his culminating creation, two decades in the making, Gropius must first expose his tormentor.

Reclusive Gropius Stuns World...

Friday Harbor journalist, Egret VanGerpin, has the headline written even before intruding on the sculptor’s private island.  By kayak, in a tempest.  The cantankerous Gropius recruits Egret’s help to save his work from those he's invited to his sanctuary.  A dark bargain, as she becomes the last bulwark against a murderous compulsion storming the sculptor's False Harbor.

"Terrific characters and a protagonist you just can't help but root for"

LINDA DEWBERRY, Whodunit? Books, Olympia, WA

"...Donnelly puts his knack for describing the beauty of the San Juan Islands, in both calm weather and storms, to good use in False Harbor."

ADAM WOOG  Seattle Times

 

 

"False Harbor captures the aura of the Northwest to near perfection. Vivid characters and dead-on descriptions pull the reader into lives and places that reveal their hidden truths grudgingly. Donnelly has blended Nature and human nature seamlessly.
