When Penn Gwinn is hired by his former intelligence agency operations commander to find his daughter, who's gone missing on her honeymoon in Belize, he wasn't a link to another case he's investigating: the mysterious murder of a friend, and fellow private investigator. Nor was he expecting to run into the CIA, DIA, DEA, and USCG, all of whom are involved in a Caribbean-based arms-for-Contras smuggling ring with ties to one of the most notorious porn operations in San Francisco.
Hal Miller - author of the action-packed Penn Gwinn Series - is an author of many talents. Many of his action/adventure novels, which are spiced with international intrigue, spies, and secret governmental agendas, rely on his experiences both as a private investigator as well as with the NSA.
An experienced journalist and editor, he also incorporates his knowledge of sailing, sail boat construction, exotic locales, and governmental funny business to create page-turners that are oddly prophetic.
He lives in Marin County but has traveled extensively both internationally and in the U.S. for work and for inspiration, particularly in Latin America. He has written several plays and screenplays based on his books.
