Yaquina White

College professor Thomas Martindale returns to the scene of his debut as an amateur sleuth, the Yaquina Head lighthouse on Oregon's central coast, in Yaquina White. The "white" of the title stands for cocaine and that is what a murderous drug gang is importing into the state. 



Martindale's career is in tatters due to his arrest on a bogus murder charge. Fleeing Oregon to escape from the leader of a murderous drug gang, he joins a media tour of the Arctic only to face new dangers from Russian border guards and the crew of a ship smuggling a secret cargo over the North Pole to Pacific coast cities.



Tom has a final, deadly encounter with the drug lord at the lighthouse, from which only one of them will walk away.
