Floating Word Press is pleased to announce the return of Author, Doc Macomber and the
recent publication of his fifth book, River City, (Floating Word Press, $16) featuring the cops
who patrol Portland’s “Liquid Streets”.
River City chronicles the investigation of River Patrol Deputy Jason Colefield into the tragic shooting of a child
on Sauvie Island. When the FBI arrives, they combine forces to uncover a potential serial killer. With yet
another life hanging in the balance, he discovers that the answers he seeks point him to the one place he
doesn’t want the go – the buried memories of his own childhood. River City satisfies as both a mystery and a
history lesson on the environs of the Pacific Northwest.
“Doc’s style is simple, elegant, and easy to digest.” – Stephen Alexander, Portland Tribune
“Doc sees much…says little…and writes it all down.” – Capt. William A. Montgomery
Doc Macomber makes his home on the Columbia River, so it’s a natural fit for him to base his new series on
the turbulent waters of the Pacific Northwest. After retiring from the Air Force and a five-year stint with the
Special Forces, Macomber retired to his “home” aboard a 42 foot trawler. He expected to live a quiet life only to
find that the problems that plague the mean streets of New York were right off his stern: murder, drugs,
violence, robbery, DUI, arson and homelessness were all thriving in his liquid neighborhood. Within a month he
was visited by the River Patrol who was investigating a murder in his marina: icing on the cake for a mystery
writer.
