Advance Praise
"Ex-stripper, ex-cop, Orange County forensic specialist Smokey Brandon is tough, hip, visceral, and lusty enough to make both Wambaugh and Spillane sit up"
"Smokey has a bittersweet, after-hours voice that makes her the most distinctive new female crime professional since Patricia Cornwell’s anxious medical examiner Kay Scarpetta appeared on the scene"
"She’s sometimes funny, sometimes spooky, and always perfectly fluent in the language of dread. There’s a wonderful freshness here, a curiosity and hunger to know that sets it apart"
"Smokey is almost too interesting a character, what with her eclectic career history and her many hobbies, which run to bird watching, charity work and steamy sex. Lucky for her, the author has given her a good brain to go with her dashing style."
"THE JUAN DOE MURDERS will undoubtedly be classified within the mystery genre, where it will boldly shoulder its way to the front of the pack. But this is more than a mystery novel; it is a collage of verbal photos, taken from different angles, of the social and political culture of Southern California"

Does anyone really care when illegal Hispanic people are being killed in Southern California? Dumped in the playground of the wealthy, the bodies are more an inconvenience than a crime wave. Until forensic expert Smokey Brandon sees a pattern within the murders; all the man have the same name on their forged paperwork and there have been no shell casings found at any of the crime scenes. It’s up to Smokey to raise the alarm before more innocent people dies.
If you love Jefferson Bass and the detailed descriptions of the forensic process, you’ll love this fascinating mystery
Cozy Book R, Reviewer
Smokey Brandon is a new character in crime fiction that makes the reader take notice. She is feisty, intelligent and eclectic. Her smart insights follow the murderers trail and you will root for her all along the way. I found it very well written, smart and I hope for more with Smokey by this author. Well Done. Absolutely loved it.
