About the author
Barry Finlay
18 books209 followersIn 2009, Barry Finlay went up a mountain as an accountant and came down as a philanthropist. After over thirty years in various financial roles with the Canadian federal government, he took his life in a different direction and climbed Africa's Mount Kilimanjaro at age 60 with his son Chris. The climb and their fundraising efforts to help kids in Tanzania changed his life in a number of ways, including the start of his writing journey. He wrote his first book, the popular Kilimanjaro and Beyond: A Life-Changing Journey with his son in 2014.
He followed that up with the hilarious travel memoir, I Guess We Missed The Boat, and then The Marcie Kane Thriller Collection was born. Each of the thrillers has a socially relevant theme.
Now, he has introduced a new character named Jake Scott in a mystery series. The first in the series, Searching For Truth, debuted in 2021. The Guardians of Truth followed, and The Secret Truth was released in the fall, 2024. Shadows of Truth is scheduled for release on September 15, 2025.
In 2023, he decided to write a book around his popular quote, "Every mountain top is within reach if you just keep climbing." He interviewed eight people facing a variety of challenges and wove his own story into the motivational Just Keep Climbing: Inspirational Stories for Overcoming Challenges and Living Life.
Barry's books have received multiple literary awards, and he was named to the Authors Show's list of "50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading" in 2012. In 2013, he received the Queen Elizabeth Diamond Jubilee Medal for his philanthropic work in Africa. He lives in Ottawa, Canada, with his wife Evelyn.

This is a great collection and a good way to introduce Marcie Kane.
The 1st story involves Marcie assisting Mason in searching for his wife Sami a friend of Marcie, who disappeared on their 20th anniversary. The way that they were able to determine where Sami went was well done. The events leading to her discovery will keep you on the edge of your chair. Great ending.
The 2nd story has Marcie in Tanzania where she visited a school which she was helping to fund. Two of the girls disappear and when Marcie begins searching for them she runs into trouble. When reporting the incident to the police she meets Nathan Harris an FBI agent who will play a major role in the future. On Marcie's return to Tampa, she becomes involved in a search for Shoni, one of the girls that disappeared in Tanzania after the body of the other girl Irena is discovered. Again she winds up in a dangerous situation where she requires help. The individual responsible is someone that you wouldn't expect and you need to read the book to find out.
The 3rd story has Marcie and Nathan who are now engaged to be wed involved in a case where the wife of the Chief of Staff to POTUS has her computer hacked and ultimately leads to a national security issue that Nathan as a consultant to the FBI gets involved with. The reason for the hack and the near miss of a terrorist attack will keep your interest. To find out exactly why this all occurred, then you must read this book.

I liked this series even though it started out in a foreign country. Espionage, hacking into government systems, murder. I rate these three books a 4.6.
