The mysteries are about two teenagers, Jason Hunter and Daniel Holmes, who become amateur detectives to take on kidnappers, predators, embezzlers, and other criminals who have preyed on them, their friends, and their community. And there is a nice twist to these stories: each detective is an enthusiastic wearer of chucks, and the "chucks club" culture plays a role in the story lines.

	The first book in the series, The Kidnapping, chronicles the formation of their detective team after Jason mysteriously disappears in broad daylight in a public park. Book 2 in the series, Double Fugue is about Daniel's accidental discovery of a plot against rock star Ethan Savage, and Jason's mission to help rescue Eric Acosta, a young teenager who has been horribly abused by his stepfather. In Book 3, When the Chips Are Down, Jason and Daniel investigate hijackings at a computer chip factory and search for Timothy Wilkinson, a teenager who has gone missing at a boot camp near Yosemite.		Book 4 in the Hunter & Holmes Mystery Series, Family Matters is coming in the winter of 2010. School is out, but the lazy carefree days of summer are soon filled with more adventures for the Hunter & Holmes detective team. Jason and Daniel have a very unusual meeting with Enrico Feraducci, a Mafia godfather who has a special request for them. Daniel begins rehearsing with his band as they work on creating their sound and search for a keyboard player. Jason and Daniel travel with Joe Connor to southern California to try and broker a reconciliation for him with his estranged daughter and grandchildren. Jason goes undercover to try and solve a string of missing children cases in the town of San Matthias. Jason, Laura, Daniel, Diana and many of their mutual friends all have interesting changes in their lives.
