Blue Herons

Penn Gwinn is wrapping up his vacation in San Juan Del Sur, Nicaragua. The weather is nice, the people are typically friendly, but the conditions of his last day turn violent. A noon-time meeting leads to murder, international intrigue, and a plot to control the world.

At home in California, Penn encounters a sumptuously beautiful red haired woman in his favorite cocktail lounge, the Blue Heron. And the adventure begins.

Three clues, three blue herons, are found in a dead woman's purse; an odd key, a cryptic note and a photograph. The adventure entails long forgotten Chinese tunnels in San Francisco, car chases and gun play, as well as a secret installation in the jungles of Nicaragua.

Who or what is the third blue heron? The one bad thing; the one blue heron evading him?
