About this project

Drago Mysteries was launched in 2010 with the fourth book scheduled for March of this year.

The series centers on Nick Drago and Sal Rand, two oversized Harley-riding country boys who solve 3-D puzzles using common sense, friends in high places and knowing how to get in and out of trouble.

Most of the mayhem comes from international intrigue crossing both political and economic boundaries.

From counterfeit Chinese currency to diverted government money transfers, from tracking down the true "First Americans" to uncovering the real D. B. Cooper, the foundation of each novel springs from current and historic headlines, wrapped in buddy banter and paced to get the reader in and out of the story quickly and satisfied.

Drago Mysteries are PG puzzles born in Oregon, but like Nick and Sal bigger than the Great Northwest. 

FAQ

  • Yes. We have used every historical resource possible for each of the books, but wrapped those facts in what we believe are intriguing thrillers.

  • No. While Willow Weep and all Bandon locations are real, Nick and Sal always wind up in other locations from Washington State to California. Their adversaries have come from six countries.
