The Red Jade Door is the first entry in the Gunner Quinn historical espionage series. Set in Mexico and Guatemala in 1954, The Red Jade Door opens with Gunner playing trumpet with a second-rate jazz combo in order to pay his bar tab and smuggling antiquities on the side to cover the rent. Things rapidly change when the the CIA blackmails him into retrieving a priceless artifact from a mysterious Mayan temple hidden deep in a danger-filled jungle. Along the way, he tangles with murderous thugs, spies, corrupt police, and a beautiful rebel who harbors secrets that could spell the difference between life or death for both of them. Lurking over it all is a mysterious dark force that stalks the jungle after a temple door that should have remained sealed and forgotten is left open after moonrise…

Future adventures will take Gunner Quinn to Paris, Havana, Berlin, Rome, the Carpathian Mountains, Baghdad, Cambodia, the Jungles of Africa, and the towering spires of the Andes.
