Todd Borg delivers top-notch adventure with Tahoe Ghost Boat



Todd Borg strikes gold again with his twelfth Owen McKenna mystery thriller, Tahoe Ghost Boat. With a tag line of “The most dangerous predator is the one with no fear…” the book promises an edge-of-your-seat adventure set in the beautiful Sierra Nevada Mountains around Lake Tahoe.



When recent widow Nadia Lassitor hires McKenna to help her elude an email blackmailer, he enters a world of extremes. The elegant, image conscious widow worries about hair, nails and clothes. Her teenaged daughter Gertie, an aspiring film director, bears the scars of a cleft lip and cares nothing for appearances, facing the world with an I-don’t-care-what-you-think-of-me demeanor. She lives with her father and barely knew her dead stepfather.

Book Review - 'Tahoe Deathfall' by Todd Borg introduces Owen McKenna and a delightful thriller series





Fans of John D. MacDonald’s Travis McGee can rejoice. Owen McKenna fills the “complex thriller mystery series” void beautifully. Just as MacDonald celebrated the natural beauty of Florida in his series, author Todd Borg sets his McKenna novels in and around the breathtaking Tahoe Basin.

Former San Francisco police officer Owen McKenna lives in a tiny cabin overlooking the deep sapphire depths of Lake Tahoe. He shares the space with Spot, a Harlequin Great Dane with enough police canine-style training to be a worthy backup to McKenna in his new life as a private detective.
