    About this ebook

    Vancouver’s mayor is brutally slain in Stanley Park. His family is missing, no clues. So begins Carol’s first big detective case. Toss in a hot male reporter. Vengeful bikers, a sexually starved succubus, a boatload of out of sync demi-gods and a disappearing shaman who holds all the clues. Oh, it’s going to be a fun night in the park.

    Frank Talaber

    Author Biography –A natural storyteller, whose compelling thoughts are freed from the depths of the heart and the subconscious before being poured onto the page.Literature written beyond the realms of genre he is known to grab readers; kicking, screaming, laughing or crying and drag them into his novels.Or as he has often said: Write like your soul is on fire and the pencil is your voice screaming.You don’t have to be mad to be a writer, but it sure helps.Writer by Soul.Canada's Foremost Offbeat AuthorEnter the literary worlds of Frank Talaber.My newest Author interview: https://youtu.be/OM3yVBThhYoMy Newest Reviews:Ainsworth Chronicles, Book Two: The Mystery Of Ms. TeakI hate you, I can't put this book down. Every page gets more interesting, suspicious, wondering what is going to happen next. I sit down to only read one more chapter but end up having to read two more, because I need to know what happened in the past. Each chapter keeps you wanting more and now I hate it even more since I can’t get to it before Long weekend coming up. I just read the last six chapters, clinging to every word, every sentence thinking I know what is going to happen next. Oh no, you take me in a completely different direction. Great book.Sandy StrebeStillwaters Runs Deep, Book Two: The LureA spooky beginning drew me in, making me feel part of a scary, 3:00 am crime scene. It turns even more surreal when Charlie, an Indian shaman, appears out of the fog like a bad hallucination. I am of the Seneca-Cayuga and Cherokee tribes, and I'm intrigued by the use of the beliefs and legends of the Canadian tribes to carry forward the characters' actions. The plot has many timelines: Carol, the head detective, has to solve several murder cases: with many twists and turns. There's Shamans, Animal Spirits, and "The Lure" thrown in for good measure. No wonder, Carol wanted to resign! I laughed out loud when Charlie admonished his fellow shamans with a knock-knock joke since it was so unexpected. Yes, this novel is a roller-coaster ride, with the Author cleverly hinting along the way, ending with a roller coaster ride! Read this book. It is different. It's as if Elmore Leonard has risen as a shaman, to guide others to write about Indian lore. This one's a keeper.Nancy BridgemanThe Joining, by Frank Talaber, is a captivating read, set in surroundings that all who have visited Victoria, B.C. Canada can identify with. My visits there will never be the same as my imagination revisits the colorful characters and settings/places portrayed so vividly within this book. A great read!GailStrong of fibre with an elegantly polished finish. Introducing Ms. Teak, the mysterious octogenarian with the double entendre stage name. Discover her hidden past and her penchant for present day danger in this latest chapter chronicling the adventures of Detective Carol Ainsworth. Together they confront Lekwungen, Woden and the Russian Mafia with a little help from a winged protector who "Flies with Butterflies".Fasten your seatbelt as Frank Talaber takes you on a multi-dimensional trek through time where history comes alive to reveal buried secrets and tortured souls. From the stately tea salons of old Victoria to the haunting desolation of British Columbia's rugged West coast waters, The Mystery of Ms. Teak will both entertain and invite you to confront the demons that live within us all.Michael deJongDo not read this book! Seriously, do not read this book - unless you are prepared to deal with a rift on your personal timeline. You will find that this book causes you to postpone activities that you would otherwise be doing.You will be transported into a world of history and mystery, crime and grime, Spirits and other worldly time travel, with the delectable Detective Carol Ainsworth.An amazing tale, which I thoroughly enjoyed.Paddy KopieczekI hate You! My wife who is off on medical leave, won't get out of the bathroom. Can't put your book down. LOL. Bruce W.Just when I was beginning to wonder where the next great Canadian story teller would emerge from, Frank Talaber has written a modern crime mystery with a twist. In “Thunderbird’s Wake” Talaber weaves the richness of Canada’s west coast aboriginal spirituality into the science of modern forensics. CSI comes to Haida Gwaii as the shaman and the detective conduct an investigation that will take them and the reader on a journey to a place where murder, redemption and ancient mysticism intersect.Michael G de Jong, QCMinister of Finance, Government House Leader,Province of British Columbia
