Praise for an earlier Ike Schwartz mystery... "Combines a Tom Clancy-like knowledge of ground-to-air missiles with a Robert Ludlum-like spy adventure." -Library Journal starred review of Choker Ike Schwartz, Sheriff of Picketsville, Virginia, and his fiancée Ruth Dennis, President of a local university, seek asylum from academic and local politics on Scone Island, four miles off the coast of Maine. The suspicious accident that resulted in the death of the mysterious Harmon Staley should not concern them at all...until Ike's past as a CIA agent rolls in on him like the area's famous twelve-foot tides. Soon Ike and Ruth find themselves facing an unknown number of determined assassins alone on the island. Dr. Frederick Ramsay served on the University of Maryland School of Medicine faculty, and in 1971 he was ordained an Episcopal priest. He currently lives in Arizona with his wife Susan. www.frederickramsay.com
