Dead Lock and Freeze Frame 2016 are mystery/thriller novels set in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and Detroit.

“Both of these novels feature strong female characters,” says author B. David Warner. “Dead Lock’s main character is Kate Brennan. She’s a 21^st Century woman who happens to live in the 1940s. She ‘s a tough cookie who drinks Pfeiffer beer and smokes a pack of Chesterfield cigarettes a day.”

The heroine of Freeze Frame 2016 is also a strong female character, Warner says. “Darcy James is an ad executive by vocation,” Warner says, “But her hobby is racing sports cars.”

Warner’s web site, http://www.bdavidwarner.com has more information on the mystery/thriller novels set in Michigan, including the first few chapters of each book.

DeadLock takes place in Sault Ste. Marie, a small town in Northern Michigan that could have been a big target during WWII. “Nearly ninety percent of the iron ore used by our defense plants had to go through the Soo Locks there,” Warner says. “Their safety was taken so seriously that nearly 7,500 troops were stationed there to guard the looks.”

Detroit Times reporter Kate Brennan travels to the Soo to work for her uncle’s newspaper, according to Warner. While investigating the murder of a close friend, she runs headlong into a Nazi plot to destroy the locks.

Freeze Frame 2016 is set in modern day Detroit. Ad executive Darcy James discovers the dark secret behind a candidate who has a big lead in the U.S. presidential race. She and her love interest, Sean Higgins, are the only one’s who can stop him, but they’re being hunted for a murder they didn’t commit. Days before the election they have to find the evidence to prove their innocence and prove the candidate guilty of treason.
