Editorial Reviews

From the Author

"A Soul Defiled - A Bailey Crane Mystery" is Book 5 of five books in the 'Bailey Crane Mystery Series'.

This short 'Bailey Crane' book will be the last in the series and likely one of my personal favorites. Why? Don't really know, except the environment for writing the book was so very pleasant --- stopping occasionally during the laptop pecks and looking out across that beautiful sea was so exhilirating. In fact, watching from my deck, a hawker walking on the beach peddling his serapes gave me the very first glimpse into this final 'Bailey Crane' novel. Unfortunately, the poor hawker in the book was to have a very short appearance in the prologue of "A Soul Defiled - A Bailey Crane Mystery." 

Note: Each 'Bailey Crane' Book can be read independently of the other. There is a natural progression, of course, of Bailey aging and becoming whatever it is he's becoming.
