Savage Pursuit
Chris Mares
Griff Savage, former French Legionnaire, failed Buddhist monk, and laconic drifter, rolls into Key West, a Brit in a strange land. He’s looking for answers about his brother Jake’s death. Instead, he comes across a much more complicated story.
Jake’s friends, the no-nonsense Nikki and the beautiful blonde Angie, are as confused as Griff. But they have secrets of their own. It’s Key West, after all, and secrets are the stock in trade.
As Griff scours the Keys in search of the truth, his questions turn up an operation at the boatyard that’s more than it seems, and a small family investigation blows up into a whole lot more. Drugs, guns, treasure… and dangerous men who will kill to keep it.
Savage Strike
Chris Mares
Drifter-with-a-past Griff Savage travels to Thailand to convince his childhood friend Tim to give up a noble but deadly pursuit—convincing local farmers to switch their crops from opium poppies to orchids. But nothing is simple in this endeavor, as Savage and Tim confront drug lords, contract killers, and police.
As if that weren’t enough, Savage’s restlessness leads him to entanglements with a trail of women – which in turn put him in the path of a serial killer.
Savage’s impulse is to protect all his friends and acquaintances. But who will protect him?
