Operation Scorpion (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781626945968)

PI Frank Sanders is "blown away" by the woman who strolls into his office one morning. Not only is she drop-dead gorgeous, she's also rich and willing to pay whatever it takes for him to find her missing father, world-famous geologist Dr. Stephen Jaspers who went rock hunting in the desert and hasn't been heard from since. A retired Riverside California Police Department detective, Frank is used to searching for people. He takes the case, assuming it's a simple missing person. But what he uncovers is more than he bargained for, leading him to suspect that he's about to be blown away--literally, this time--along with everyone else in Southern California.
