The Cole Blackwater stories are among the most riveting today, and Vanishing Track is the best yet in this intensely dramatic series. – Don Graves, The Hamilton Spectator

The Vanishing Track: #1 Calgary Herald Bestseller.

The Vanishing Track, my fifth book, has officially been released by TouchWood Editions on March 6th, 2011. This is the third book in the Cole Blackwater Mystery Series which started with The Cardinal Divide in 2008 and was followed by The Darkening Archipelago in 2010. Now Cole finds himself facing his most challenging mystery yet: people are disappearing from Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, and Cole and his friends must find out why before more people vanish.

“A brutally honest look at life on Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. A really great read.”

– Senator Larry Campbell, former Mayor of Vancouver and author of A Thousand Dreams.
