Description:

NEW RELEASE ~ Book 4 - 'Full Circle' released on January 15, 2016
Off-duty detective sergeants Bill Dix and Steve Petersen find themselves in the middle of a jaw dropping firefight… in broad daylight...on their way to watch a baseball game. The two can’t believe their luck as this is the second vacation they have taken together that’s turned out horribly wrong.

There’s plenty of finger pointing and speculation regarding their involvement in a complex investigation including drugs and gun smuggling for terrorist cells...all within the United States. Dix wants to head back to Florida, while Petersen seems to have struck up a relationship interest trying to rebound from an ugly divorce. Whatever it is they have stumbled upon, dead bodies are showing up and Dix gets the sense no one is telling the truth.

Dix and Petersen join forces with the locals and try to save one man from being hunted down and work frantically to figure out who’s hunting him and why. Good, evil, and everything in between plague the detectives throughout the case. Who ends up surviving? And, when Dix crosses paths with the mastermind, do either of them live long enough to talk about it?

Gripping and fast paced, the second novel in the bestselling Bill Dix Detective Series, The Cartel Enforcers, starts out quick and finishes strong.

"The author is donating proceeds from the sales of this novel to the Fakava Family in memory of his mentor, Heikoti Fakava. 'Alu ka he 'ikai ngalo koe."

NOTE: This book was originally titled "Collectors"

Review

"Acts of courage and compassion are still the backbone of our noble profession. What C. L. Swinney has done in this fast-paced novel, second in the Bill Dix series, is amazing and exemplifies the guts behind a badge. But, why he did the book, is extraordinary."
--Sheriff Greg Ahern, Alameda County

"I had the opportunity to read C. L. Swinney's latest thriller, Collectors, and was among other things, very impressed. It's nice to see the author creating such interesting characters and an adrenaline laced plot. The fact he's donating proceeds to a fallen deputy's family makes this a no-brainer."
--Sheriff David Livingston, Contra Costa County

"This novel has it all! Somehow C. L. Swinney was able to weave a masterful plot, high-speed adrenaline rush scenes, and a bit of romance...It's not the norm for a police procedural, but you have to tip your hat to him because the writing is that good."
--Chief Steve Pangelinan, Chief of Police, Milpitas Police Department

"C. L. Swinney captures the essence of what crime fiction was intended to be, realistic and nail-biting (a trait shared with his man character, Bill Dix). Once I read the book I was hooked. When I learned the story behind the story, I was glad he asked for my support."
--Sheriff Greg Munks, San Mateo County

From the Author

Chris Swinney (C. L. Swinney), writes fiction based on what he experienced the last six years as a homicide and narcotics investigator in the San Francisco Bay Area. As an avid reader, he developed a passion for mystery, crime fiction, and suspense thrillers- all of which are blended into his novels.

His work has been featured in Fly Fisherman Magazine, PointsBeyond.com, Alaskan Peninsula Newspaper, and California Game & Fish Magazine. He's now a contributor to PoliceOne.com, the nation's premier law enforcement online magazine.

His debut novel, Gray Ghost, made the bestseller's list on Amazon in paperback, kindle, and hardcover in Crime Fiction, Mystery, and Police Procedural. He donates proceeds from his sales to groups like Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), Cancer research, and PTSD/Military support groups.

The second novel in the Bill Dix series, The Cartel Enforcers, was released on August 19, 2014 and quickly landed on the best sellers lists. The project hit close to home for Chris because it features his mentor, Koti Fakava, who passed away leaving behind his lovely wife and five wonderful children. Proceeds from this novel will go directly to Koti's family.

The third novel in the Bill Dix Series, Sin City Assassin, was released December 7, 2014 and also landed on the best sellers lists. It's obvious Chris is perfecting his craft of telling a suspenseful story while infusing it with police tactics and procedures.

Chris is a big time supporter of Teachers, Parents, Law Enforcement, Doctors, Nurses, Firefighters, American Troops, Juvenile Diabetes Research, and children. He spends time volunteering for his church, at schools, he coaches, and every once in awhile he gets to go fly fishing.
