"A" IS FOR AMETHYST (An Alpha Adventure #1) launches the series with a mystery about a long-lost gem mine and a stolen inheritance--the case leads two members of the Alpha Adventures team on a thrilling investigation to Japan, where descendants of post-war villains have their own secrets and intend to keep them. Four months ago, anthropologist professor Travis Monahan got shot while on an investigation of the mysterious floating city at Baikal. Suffering from PTSD, he’s been holed up in their Atlanta office with his Jack Russell terrier and his brooding thoughts. One of the partners, Savannah Summers, convinces him to take this case. Their new client, Miya Richards, hires them to search for the purported mine and its missing property deed, which she claims were seized from her grandmother’s family. While uncovering clues in the old quarter of Tochigi, Japan, the intrepid duo runs into a man who reveals that his uncle once tried to investigate and was never seen again. He does, however, tip them off to the Himiko Corporation. Travis and Savannah go to Himiko, pretending to be research geologists. The head honcho immediately clams up and on their way out, a Yakuza biker gang pursues them. As action and clues lead the adventurers into the mountains, relentless descendants of the evil, rich Kinagawas and their ilk thwart them at every turn. Their lives are at stake and Travis realizes this case is not as straightforward as it first seemed. Will Travis and Savannah find the secret amethyst mine and the deed, or will they, too, disappear?

When the ship disappears in the Sea of Okhotsk, Fiona’s parole officer illegally releases her from prison so she and the Alpha Adventures team can locate and recover the missing gold. His stake in this case is personal. The catch is, the Alpha Adventurers have to act fast before anyone discovers that Fiona’s on the lam. If they don’t quickly succeed, she’ll have to return to prison. With these high stakes, Travis worries that Savannah won’t be working with him on this case. Instead, his two co-investigators are Fiona, a loose cannon with a penchant for trouble, and Thyri, who has a keen business mind, but no investigative skills. Travis knows he must be out of his mind to go on a mission with these ill-equipped Alpha Adventurers, but the payout for a successful recovery of the gold is a strong incentive to accompany them. The plan for infiltrating the tight security of the shipping company is that Travis, Thyri, and Fiona will pose as WSJ reporters. Their first stop is the Multimetal headquarters in the Russian port town of Magadan. When they arrive at the press conference, they compete with other reporters for interviews with the spokesperson of the company. However, useful information is not forthcoming. When Fiona unexpectedly deviates from the mission plan to do some covert environmental activism with a new acquaintance, Thyri, Travis, and a mysterious Russian woman named Bianca rush to retrieve Fiona from a remote site before she gets arrested again. Or worse. Lives are at stake and as the bitter cold and adversaries increase, Travis frets about being shot again before they can complete the mission. Still, the promise of the gold beckons. Will the Alpha Adventures team find the missing ship with the gold, or will they, too, disappear?
