This crime and thriller series is the late-career fulfillment of a lifelong desire to write, deeply enriched by the author's varied life experiences. Drawing from a background in social work, a connection to the church, experience running a software business, and living in Spain, the narratives explore the complexities of human behavior and the coexistence of light and dark within individuals. The stories center on David Hidalgo, an Anglo-Spanish pastor whose strong moral compass compels him to confront wrongs that cannot be ignored, even as he grapples with personal tragedy. Through his 'everyman' perspective, the series delves into how decent individuals respond to the best and worst the world offers, offering a unique blend of suspense and exploration of human nature.
