A Dark Place by Keith Yocum
The sharp-elbowed CIA investigator Dennis Cunningham and his Aussie police officer girlfriend meet up in London and find themselves drawn into the dark underworld of espionage and human trafficking. Desperate to keep his budding romance with Australian policewoman Judy White alive, Dennis agrees to meet in London while on business. However, London has other plans for this couple, as Dennis's work investigating the disappearance of a CIA employee turns into a deadly maze. And Judy's former husband, an incarcerated lawyer with a bad habit of money laundering, has revenge on his mind. Together, the couple finds London to be a very, very dark place at times. Their battles come together in a thrilling climax worthy of two tough investigators drawn together like moths to a flame. Continent hopping, clandestine meetings, cruelty, and cuddles--and that's only the C's-Kirkus Reviews The Dennis Cunningham series is perfect for fans of David Baldacci's Will Robbie series and Jack Noble's Bear and Mandy Logan series.
Keith Yocum was born in Ridgecrest, California, the civilian town supporting the China Lake Naval Weapons Center in the Mojave Desert. His father, an electrician and former WWII submariner, married an Australian Army nurse he met in a military hospital during the war. After WWII the family lived near China Lake for several years until they moved to the Panama Canal Zone in the mid-1950s. Keith attended school in the Canal Zone and experienced both the easy-going colonial lifestyle of that period, along with the darker side of the Cold War, including being accidentally tear gassed during leftist anti-government riots. In the early 1960s his family moved to Northern Virginia where his father worked as a civilian for the military. In 1967 the family moved to an obscure Naval submarine communications station in Western Australia to be close to his mother's family. Keith attended a Christian Brothers boarding school near Perth, Western Australia and took up several sports including rugby, where he was chosen to represent the state in the junior rugby squad championships in Tasmania. During his two years at the boarding school he wrote a diary, and has never been able to kick the habit of writing. He graduated from George Mason University in Fairfax, VA with a degree in philosophy. After college he decided that journalism was the only profession that actually paid someone to write, and he received a Master's Degree in journalism from American University in Washington, D.C. He moved to the Boston area in the late 1970s and worked for several local weekly newspapers, including a chain weeklies that he founded in the 1984.
