Outer Banks crime writer Harrison Weaver is being stalked by an unknown psychopath, who is leaving threatening clues—or calling cards—that prove a troubling knowledge of Harrison's past. Worse, they hint at deadly intentions toward Harrison—and to his sweetheart, Elly Pedersen.
    Harrison believes a vacation trip to Paris will take them beyond the stalker's reach. But he is wrong. A horrific new calling card leaves no doubt that a killer has followed them to the City of Light.
    With no idea why he's being targeted and no clues to the stalker's identity, Harrison and Elly find themselves on a collision course with a psycho willing to follow them halfway around the world and back again to the Outer Banks. Only boldness, skill, and luck can save them. But will that be enough?

Praise for the Harrison Weaver Mysteries

"There's a lot to like in Joseph L.S. Terrell's CALLING CARDS OF DEATH: Mystery, romance, intrigue, history, snappy dialogue, and even a heartfelt love letter to Paris and North Carolina's Outer Banks. A great beach read, in more ways than one!"
—Richard Helms, Derringer and Thriller Award-winning author of BRITTLE KARMA

"With Ernest Hemingway as his own personal muse, Joseph L.S. Terrell's Harrison Weaver series are delightful cozy mysteries taking place on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, where he has lived for quite a while. As soon as you begin reading, you realize you know each of the characters personally. The dialogue and suspense make these books hard to put down, so be prepared for a long night of intriguing reading."
—David R. Tanis, author of the Hamish O'Halloran Books

Undertow of Vengeance, Joseph Terrell's fourth thriller in the Harrison Weaver crime writer series, and set in North Carolina's Outer Banks, is a knockout. With the deadpan savvy delivery of Humphrey Bogart as Sam Spade and the clipped declarative sentences of Dashiell Hammett, this volume, like its predecessors, reaches out in the very first sentence, grabs you by the lapels, and never lets up.
—Joseph Bathanti, former North Carolina Poet Laureate

Smooth writing from an eloquent storyteller goes down like fine scotch. Undertow of Vengeance is a keeper.
—Maggie Toussaint, Author, Cleopatra Jones Mysteries

"Every once in a while I'll pick up a book and from the first sentence, I'm engaged. Written with an extraordinary eye for detail yet in the sparse language of the journalist he once was, Terrell's novel is filled with wonderful dialogue, believable characters and just enough plot twists to keep the reader turning pages."
—Kip Tabb, freelance journalist, former Editor, North Beach Sun

"Joe Terrell gets the Outer Banks just right, from crashing surf to the sordid crimes behind the tourism façade, to a thoughtful sleuth who can throw a punch and make a mean sweet tea."
—David Healey, Author, The House That Went Down With The Ship

"A smart, savvy combination of who-done-it and police procedural."
—Kathryn R. Wall, Author, the Bay Tanner Mysteries
