Mark Dalton: Owner/Operator

by Edo Van Belkom

LOOKING FOR Mark Dalton isn't sure if he finds trouble or if trouble finds him. But ever since his wife traded him in for a prettier model, and he traded in his Private Eye business for a Peterbilt, it seems to be everywhere he goes. In this collection of loosely interwoven who-dunnits, Edo van Belkom introduces Mark Dalton, Trucker Detective. Whether he’s scooping up pretty hitchhikers with secrets, getting back goods stolen right out from under his nose, making a shady repair shop pay, or solving a racially charged, post-9/11 murder, Dalton is one busy trucker. And truth is, he wouldn’t have it any other way.

An entertaining and easy read about the adventures, and misadventure's, of Private Eye Mark Dalton turned trucker.
