What possible connection could there be between a dredge and an accountant from Seattle? This book is set in the picturesque town of Newport on the Central Oregon Coast. It is a favorite tourist destination for those who live in both Portland and Seattle, although it retains its small-town atmosphere. Its residents enjoy the active commercial fishing harbor, as well as the unique attractions of an Aquarium and the Pacific Coast Center. Each year the ocean currents move sand into the harbor entrance, creating a navigation problem for the fishing fleet residing in the port. In order to keep the channel open, the Columbia Dredge comes into Newport each year, to dredge the sand out of the channel. Accountant, Hazel Davies, and Chaplain, Anna Kohl, unexpectedly find themselves entangled in a murder mystery, which has the detective in charge completely stumped. Murder on the Columbia Dredge is the fourth mystery in this series.

'Makes the capital as eerie as Le Carré's Berlin' Evening Standard Monday 10 June, end of a hot day. The city had started drinking at lunchtime and by 3 or 4pm crime seemed the only appropriate response to the beauty of the afternoon...At quarter to five he felt his contribution to law and order had been made. He parked off the high street, sunk two shots of pure grain vodka into iced Nicaraguan espresso and put his seat back. In an hour he'd be off duty, and in a couple more he'd be on a date with an art student he'd recently arrested for drugs possession. London is steaming under a summer of filthy heat and sudden storms - and Detective Nick Belsey, of Hampstead CID, is trying to stay out...
