Private detective Roger Bowman is hired to impersonate a wealthy sponsor showing a champion German Shorthair Pointer named Juliet at dog shows in California. His undercover assignment is to ferret out whether some of the winners are cheating. Before too long, bodies of murdered judges start popping up at dog show venues and Roger’s wife Suzanne is being stalked by a mysterious admirer.

With Juliet’s help, Roger and his fellow detective and professional dog handler Bruce find a key clue. The trail leads from San Francisco in Northern California to San Francisco in West Texas. Reviewers love the whodunit mystery and the inside information about how dog shows work. So will you!

Sufficient Ransom is a fast-paced, mystery/thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat reading long past your bedtime. Art dealer, Ann Olson, lives a comfortable life in an affluent enclave of San Diego with her entrepreneur husband and young son, Travis. Every mother’s worst nightmare comes to pass when Ann’s son disappears from the backyard one evening.

Ann is certain the social worker who unjustly accused her of child abuse is responsible, but as the investigation into his kidnapping unfolds, and other children in San Diego begin to disappear, it is soon evident something more malevolent is afoot. Sarno takes on some big issues such as atheism, faith, and organized crime, and deftly puzzles them together in a page-turning, well integrated plot you will eagerly try to decipher. A set of engaging and unique characters—a dubious social worker with a hidden past, a helpful and concerned pastor, a husband who is frustrated with his distraught wife who seems to attract trouble everywhere she goes, inhabit the world of Sufficient Ransom. An excellent first novel—sharp, multi-faceted, and impeccably written.
