Burt Weissbourd

For fans of Scott Turow, Lee Child, and Raymond Chandler. “Weissbourd has created an entire genre—Seattle Noir… I devoured the novel in a single night, and I think you will, too.” —Jacob Epstein, writer and executive story editor, Hill Street Blues Celebrated restaurateur Callie James is stunned when her estranged ex-husband, French investigative reporter Daniel Odile-Grand, strolls into her restaurant on what could have been any Seattle evening. After fourteen years, the story he tells is even more unlikely than his sudden appearance. As she throws him out into the darkness, her nightmare begins. Daniel is deliberately hit by a car, hurled through the front window of her restaurant—broken, bloody and unconscious… Reluctantly, Callie hides him. Returning to her restaurant, she is greeted by two assassins insisting that she produce Daniel or pay deadly consequences. Overwhelmed, and hopelessly out of her depth, Callie hires the only man she knows who can help her: Cash Logan. Callie can’t imagine relying on Cash, a soldier of fortune… and her former bartender, a man she had arrested for smuggling ivory through her restaurant two years earlier, a man who still hasn’t forgiven her. After a devastating attack on her restaurant, with danger in plain sight, Callie and Cash face kidnappers, murderers, weapons dealers, and treachery at every turn. Ultimately, Callie is forced to change—to become authentically self-aware—with stunning consequences.

About the author
Burt Weissbourd is a novelist, screenwriter and producer of feature films. He was born in 1949 and graduated cum laude from Yale University, with honors in psychology. During his student years, he volunteered at the Museum of Modern Art in Paris and taught English to college students in Thailand. After he graduated, he wrote, directed, and produced educational films for Gilbert Altschul Productions. He began a finance program at the Northwestern University Graduate School of Business, but left in his final semester to start his own film production company in Los Angeles. He managed that company from 1977 until 1986, producing films including Ghost Story starring Fred Astaire, Melvyn Douglas, John Houseman, and Douglas Fairbanks Jr, and Raggedy Man starring Sissy Spacek and Sam Shepard, which The New York Times called "a movie of sweet, low-keyed charm." In 1987, he founded an investment business, which he still runs. Burt’s novels include the thrillers Danger in Plain Sight, The Corey Logan Trilogy (Inside Passage, Teaser and Minos), and In Velvet, which is set in Yellowstone National Park.
