Flash Flood Warning

About the Book

For a man in his middle forties, Charlie Callahan was doing all right. It was the summer of 1984. With a musical career behind him, he was news director of a Las Vegas radio station, and if the woman he had loved for years seemed permanently out of reach, life had its compensations. Oh, there was that nagging mystery of six months missing from his life—but he’d come to accept that. Then a major Strip casino suddenly closed, somebody started killing people, and before Charlie realized what was going on, he was thrown into a nightmare of psychotic murders and the evil schemes of a cadre of South American Nazis. In a flash he had to confront the very real possibility that his own heritage—and something from those missing six months—could tie him to a world of carnage and conspiracy. Set against backgrounds as varied and colorful as Las Vegas, Vancouver, Asunción and Boston, Flash Flood Warning follows Charlie Callahan on his quest through the dangers of a convoluted past, a bloody trail strewn with deception, betrayal, and the chilling thought that his greatest loss could be his own identity.
