Harry Caine is a forty-three year old bachelor who was born in Monterey, California. He has a sister, Susan Caine, who lives on the California coast between Santa Cruz and Monterey. His parents were killed in an auto accident when Harry was eight years old leaving him and his older sister as their only survivors. The two siblings were raised by foster parents in San Jose, California. Harry is a loner who is smart enough to understand his limitations and the fact that there are times when he needs help, professionally, and personally. After three years of college and one year of law school he worked at one of the area’s busiest PI firms for six years in order to earn the 6000 hours of verifiable experience the State of California requires to become a licensed private investigator. He then ran his one man private investigative agency in the San Francisco Bay Area for fifteen years.

After fifteen years of case work Harry suffered what he thought was a burn out and opted to move east to change his life forever. The change involved his going to work for the federal government in Washington, D.C. The new job left him cold. To get rid of the chill he built Anthem, a thirty five foot trawler he intended to live on and sail through the Bahama Islands without ever looking back. On his way south Harry has serious boat trouble and is coerced into accepting an assignment in order to pay his boat repair bill. That entire phase of Harry’s life is chronicled in the first, critically acclaimed, Harry Caine Mystery, PAID in FULL. At the successful conclusion of that assignment Harry finds a home for himself and his boat at the Boat Hook Marina in West Palm Beach, Florida and decides his love for his work as a PI is much stronger that his desire to sail the Bahamas and live on fish and coconuts. HARRY'S LATEST ADVENTURE... Harry, along with his assistant, Mona Morgan, has just concluded his highest profile case to date in the just released novel, WAKE-UP CALL. WAKE-UP CALL builds from the intake of what looks to Harry as a run-of-the-mill ‘locate’ assignment. His new client’s name is Lotta Legs and she’s the headliner at the DIxie Gents Club, a slightly down-at-the-heels strip joint just outside of the West Palm Beach city limits. The case turns out to be a great deal more than a garden-variety ‘locate’, and like the previous Harry Caine mysteries, the realism of this plot line and the detail of the action leaves no doubt that the author knows his subject and how to tell an exciting story. |
