“The Red Jade Door” – Kindle Edition
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…
Gunner Quinn is a classic man of action: a restless intellectual, a non-conformist, and a jaded hedonist. Reluctantly thrust into the heat of the Cold War, he battles his own government, murderous communists, shady characters, and strange supernatural menaces. The Red Jade Door sets him on his path of adventure, a course that leads to exotic locations, beautiful women, and a life on the knife edge of danger.
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.
Two more volumes of the Beatnik Spy Series will be available in 2012 – The Godhead Formula and Black Rum & Dynamite.
