Angus Green Thrillers

A twenty-something gay FBI agent tackles his first big case with heart and smarts.

Assigned to South Florida for his first posting, Angus Green is worlds away from his hardscrabble upbringing in Scranton, PA. He has to cope with ethnic distinctions he's never considered, a multitude of foreign languages spoken around him, and a range of crimes and criminals that boggles his mind.

While investigating a jewelry heist with its roots in Fort Lauderdale's gay neighborhoods, Angus must learn how to use his education, his intelligence and his good looks without losing track of who he is and what he stands for. The street quickly teaches him that the only way to face a challenge is to assume that he'll survive this one--that it'll be the next one that will kill him.

I've used my experience in the FBI Citizen's Academy to bring Angus to life, and reviewers agree that he's a character to fall in love with.

Even a gunshot wound will not sideline Angus Green, who's back in his second thrilling adventure.

With less than a year of experience under his belt and only one big case behind him, FBI Special Agent Angus Green has joined the rarefied group of agents who have been wounded in the line of duty.

Now, assigned to a desk job while he recovers, Angus wonders if he's chosen the right career. He's been following his late father's dream for a life of adventure and travel-and instead encountered danger, pain and heartbreak.

But when he discovers that gay teens are being sexually abused by a pornographer in the same neighborhood where he lives, he has to step up and bring his intelligence, his determination and his unique insights to save these young men.

The case takes him from Fort Lauderdale's seamy underbelly to boisterous beachfront bars where big-fish Russian emigres launder illegal cash. He'll befriend a beautiful Russian-American undercover agent and rekindle a romance with a man who makes him feel protected. In the end, he'll learn the truth of a saying he learned as a boy -- there is a price to pay for every decision we make. Nobody rides for free.

Someone has to look out for our gay elders-- and Angus Green nominates himself.

Special Agent Angus Green returns in this follow up to The Next One Will Kill You and Nobody Rides for Free. Angus is still in his twenties, and his red hair and good looks often make people underestimate him, but he’s a smart, fearless cop who believes in the FBI motto: Fidelity, Bravery, Integrity.

Fort Lauderdale retiree Frank Sena is working with pawn shop owner Jesse Venable to retrieve a painting stolen from Frank’s uncle, a gay Venetian killed during the Holocaust. Angus volunteers to help Frank, and discovers Venable is the subject of a task force looking into smuggling immigrants out of war-torn countries in the Middle East.

Angus, who knows nothing about art and speaks no Italian, may be in over his head as he is assigned to befriend, and ultimately betray, Venable. But with the help of his Italian-speaking brother and his art-loving boyfriend, he may be able not only to retrieve the painting, but solve a smuggling case and potentially save thousands of lives. The investigation will take him from the sun-drenched rooftops of Venice to a private yacht speeding down Fort Lauderdale’s New River. Along the way, he’ll learn the true meaning of survival.

Special Agent Angus Green navigates a complex web of art theft, immigration, and personal discovery.

When a young Cuban art historian named Yulirus Diaz is detained after illegally entering the United States, Angus sees an opportunity to unravel a larger criminal enterprise. Yulirus claims knowledge of valuable artwork being smuggled out of Cuba, including a potential masterpiece by the Spanish painter Bartolomé Esteban Murillo. As Angus digs deeper, he uncovers a sophisticated operation involving not just art theft, but money laundering and discrimination within a prominent Cuban-American business.

Balancing the demands of his investigation with his own ethical compass, Angus finds himself advocating for Yulirus and another Cuban immigrant, Elpidio López, the very man responsible for smuggling the artwork. Angus must navigate the complexities of immigration law, FBI procedures, and his own growing empathy for those caught in difficult circumstances.

Meanwhile, Angus's personal life is in flux. He's moving in with his boyfriend Lester, a transition that brings its own set of challenges and uncertainties. As he settles into their new shared apartment, Angus grapples with the evolving dynamics of their relationship and his own identity as a gay man in law enforcement.

The investigation takes unexpected turns, leading Angus from the brackish waters of the Florida Keys to the sleek high-rises of Miami's Brickell Avenue. Along the way, he must outsmart wealthy art collectors, coordinate with multiple law enforcement agencies, and make split-second decisions that could impact lives and careers.

Adding another layer of complexity, Angus receives shocking news about his own family history, forcing him to reconsider his understanding of fatherhood and identity. This personal journey parallels the themes of the Murillo painting at the center of the investigation – a depiction of Saint Joseph and the young Jesus that resonates deeply with Angus's evolving perspective on family and belonging.

With its rich exploration of Cuban-American culture, the complexities of immigration, and the high-stakes world of art crime, Brackish Water offers readers a nuanced and compelling narrative that is at once a gripping procedural and a thoughtful examination of human nature.
