Mystery and Suspense: Darcy Farthing Adventures
Welcome aboard. In this six-book series, we follow a beautiful but troubled scientist as she uses her considerable wit to solve crimes that threaten those closest to her.
A pragmatic scientist, Darcy begins the series as a pharmaceutical representative with a lot of emotional baggage but ends with redemption and healing. She becomes a writer, loyal friend, partner, and mother as well as a crime fighter. Her intelligence, high degree of morality, and troubled past make her a complex endearing protagonist.
Six complex, thoughtful, fast-paced stories with intrigue, danger, romance, travel, and personal upheaval. An endearing cast of characters with exotic settings on land and sea.
Book One–Currents Deep and Deadly
The mystery and suspense begin for scientist, Darcy Farthing, when she embarks on a cruising journey to exotic travel locations aboard a luxury ship, only to find unexpected intrigue, danger, romance, and personal upheaval.
“You can truly believe you have a handle on how your little slice of life fits into the whole pie. But just when you think pepperoni is all you’ll ever need, someone dumps a bunch of mushrooms and peppers on top, and suddenly a mind-blowing revelation smacks you in the mouth. My name is Darcy Farthing, and this is my slice-of-life-with-everything-on-it story.” Darcy Farthing–Currents Deep and Deadly
Immerse yourself in three intertwining chronicles blended into one fast-paced journey. Darcy Farthing offers tidbits of history and geography from her travel log of South American seaports, spins a tale of murder and madness aboard a cruise ship, and reveals her own devastating but enlightening personal crisis.
On a supposedly romantic voyage, Darcy encounters a series of unbelievable coincidences with links to her early life, a time she has tried hard to forget. Before the trip is over, she meets the man who could be her soul mate, battles a psychotic shipboard killer, and runs headlong into her carefully hidden past. She breaks free of her emotional prison—but at what price? The wondrous and terrifying events of this monthlong adventure meld together in ways that threaten to either complete her life or destroy it.

Currents of Sin Book Trailer
“I visualize my life current and other people’s currents flowing along on parallel courses mostly unfelt, running deep below the surface, then suddenly colliding, causing all manner of change and adjustment. When my current collided with Mick’s, as often happens, I took on some of his overspill, and he mine.” –Darcy Farthing

Description: Currents of Sin
Homeless teens are disappearing from the streets of Las Vegas. Investigative reporter, Darcy Farthing, travels to Sin City to find a missing girl, Pammie Fleetfoot. Working with her friend and former LA cop, Tom Smythe, she soon learns the tragic reality of street teens caught in human trafficking for prostitution and controlled by Asian gangs. Darcy and Tom form a bond with two frightened teen prostitutes, but soon after the two confront the girls’ young pimp, he is brutally murdered. Darcy blames herself and fears for the girls’ safety. When they refuse her offer of help and will not leave the streets, she realizes a self-styled neighborhood preacher has a mysterious hold on them. Meanwhile, violence and abductions are escalating.
While in Vegas, Darcy is staying with her best friend, Sid, who is receiving threats from an anonymous caller. Darcy fears that her meddling with traffickers is endangering Sid. After a shocking twist changes everything and confirms the personal danger, Darcy is convinced she must remain in Vegas to find Pammie and bring criminals to justice. Darcy’s husband Mick, a government investigator, rushes to join her. With his help, she discovers a startling connection between the human traffickers and an old enemy intent on revenge. When the police and FBI finally raid the traffickers’ prostitution ring, Darcy is caught between two vicious criminal networks.
