His debut novel features an architect who stumbles upon a murder during a major flood, forcing him into an amateur sleuthing role to protect his career and life. The author's narrative style is shaped by a background in proposal writing and a deep appreciation for family histories, including humorous war accounts and journalistic endeavors, infusing his fiction with both suspense and authentic detail.
