Books by Dick Elam

It's been four years since the Anne Bonny's namesake passed, and Hersh Barstow is taking out the sailboat one last time as a final good-bye to his departed wife. He expects the trip to be a quiet one, but then the mysterious and seductive Maggie Adelaide Moore comes aboard. Trouble quickly follows, and soon the two are entangled with a dangerous drug cartel. Now the criminal justice professor needs to call on old friends from his CIA days to escape their pursuers and riddle out Maggie's mysterious past. In the age-weathered Anne Bonny, Hersh recalls some of his CIA training, but that may not be enough, as enemies could be lurking behind every river bend. Filled with action, mystery, and romance, Dick Elam's debut novel will take readers up and down the Carolina waterways with Hersh and Maggie on their search for truth, safety, and justice. At times dangerous and alluring, Anne Bonny's Wake is the first book of a compelling crime series written by Dick Elam.
