In my law enforcement career, I dealt with scams and the con artists who work them. I reveal their schemes and the techniques of crimes of persuasion on these pages.
One such scheme is featured in my mystery novel, Switcheroo. The images above are of key locales in the novel: the San Francisco waterfront and a map showing the location of the once magnificent Hetch Hetchy Valley in Yosemite, now flooded to supply fresh water to San Francisco and the Bay Area.

SWITCHEROO --
The Story...
For Nick Oliver, retreating to the solitude of a cabin in the old growth Redwoods, south of San Francisco, is his escape. Fired without warning from his job as a top-notch business intelligence analyst, he feels blindsided.
Now a stranger's arrival and her plea for help interrupts Nick's solitude. Erin, the daughter of Dan Archer, a local PI, tells Nick that before her father's recent suspicious death, he made cryptic references to Nick and his employment. While Nick has no idea who Dan Archer is, what else can he do but agree to help Erin investigate what her father meant and if it tied in with his death.
Their sleuthing plunges them into the midst of a high finance conspiracy as they race against a deadline to prevent a high-stakes scam and solve a murder.
