A 30 year veteran of law enforcement, Alex J.
McDonald, is a deputy sheriff with the Broward County Sheriff’s Office (Florida). He has published
extensively in law enforcement periodicals, as well as magazines about karate and skin diving. Alex J.
McDonald is the author of Sawgrass and Vesuvius.
According to the book description of
Sawgrass, “A missing cop is found dead in his car in an orange grove. Suicide or murder? The
evidence points to murder but the bureaucrats want it to be suicide. Det. Sgt. Daniel Quinn is in charge of the investigation
and sets out to prove murder. A second murder occurs and Quinn finds the two are connected. Quinn becomes embroiled in a drug
smuggling investigation and is forced to battle politics, a smuggling group and even the D.E.A. All of this leads to a surprise
ending.”
One reader of Sawgrass
said, “This was an excellent book that I just could not put down from the moment I started. The author's background
in over 30 years of law enforcement are evident in the characters and the story line. Great book and I highly recommend. I
am looking forward to the next book soon!”
Another reader of Sawgrass,
“I have now read this book three times. The author leads you down a path and then takes you totally in the opposite
direction. The foreword in this book says it all. Life is not what it appears on the surface. You do not have to like "cop"
stories to love this book. He has a lot of insight into what he is talking about as well as an intense knowledge of people.
I do not like to watch a movie more than once or read a book more than once but this one I could not put down and have read
three times. This is his first novel and I know will not be his last.”
According to the book description of
Vesuvius, “There is a serial killer out there killing gay men. Det. Ali Castillo is teamed
with an FBI profiler to track the killer but, Castillo has his own demons to battle. Can he win against the killer and his
own problems or will he die trying?”
