Bruce Cantwell

Last Heartthrob and The Catalonian Candidate Bruce Cantwell

Walter Forbes is a 21st century P. I./Information Security Specialist trying to do the right thing in an ethically challenged business and world.

LAST HEARTTRHOB

"With a Hitchcock-esque flair for noir, Bruce Cantwell uses the rain-soaked city of Portland as the backdrop for a twisty tale with retro undertones and a bang-up finale. Highly recommended! " Cindy Brown, author of the Ivy Meadows mysteries

In this classic film noir tribute, a routine high-tech background check turns into a deadly game of cat and mouse, but just who's the cat and who's the mouse is far from certain.

THE CATALONIAN CANDIDATE

"Walter Forbes and his partner Jane Greer (Jane Greer...) are hired to do tech security for Senator Guy Morton. But what began as '...a routine information security assignment had placed Forbes on the front lines of the War on Terror'... or had it? Trojan horses abound. People are not what or who they seem to be. In fact, 'Forbes, Morton, and agent Butterfield looked at the same people in the same room, but what they saw couldn't differ more.' And the characters are plunged into a slam-bang sortie of the Realpolitik of today's political scene before the story circles back on itself to the beginning... Enjoyable. Timely. And a hell of a lot of fun." -- Shamus Award Winning Author Paul D. Marks

Both tales focus on human conflict without offensive language, explicit sex, or violence.
