Burt Weissbourd

The first Callie and Cash thriller is now available in trade paperback!

For fans of Scott Turow, Lee Child, and Raymond Chandler

“Weissbourd has created an entire genre—Seattle Noir… I devoured the novel in a single night and I think you will, too.” —Jacob Epstein, writer and executive story editor, Hill Street Blues

Celebrated restaurateur Callie James is stunned when her estranged ex-husband, French investigative reporter Daniel Odile-Grand, strolls into her restaurant on what could have been any Seattle evening. After fourteen years, the story he tells is even more unlikely than his sudden appearance. As she throws him out into the darkness, her nightmare begins. Daniel is deliberately hit by a car, hurled through the front window of her restaurant—broken, bloody and unconscious…

Reluctantly, Callie hides him. Returning to her restaurant, she is greeted by two assassins insisting that she produce Daniel or pay deadly consequences. Overwhelmed, and hopelessly out of her depth, Callie hires the only man she knows who can help her: Cash Logan. Callie can’t imagine relying on Cash, a soldier of fortune… and her former bartender, a man she had arrested for smuggling ivory through her restaurant two years earlier, a man who still hasn’t forgiven her. 

After a devastating attack on her restaurant, with danger in plain sight, Callie and Cash face kidnappers, murderers, weapons dealers, and treachery at every turn. Ultimately, Callie is forced to change— to become authentically self-aware—with stunning consequences.

Callie and Cash

Danger in Plain Sight

In the first book of the series, Danger in Plain Sight, Callie James discovers that her bartender, Cash Logan, is smuggling erotic ivory carvings, netsuke, into her restaurant. Callie pitches a fit, has him arrested, then famously says, “When you get out of jail, don’t ever come back here.”

Two years later, Callie’s ex-husband, a French investigative reporter, is almost killed when he shows up at her restaurant, after a fourteen-year absence, asking for her help. Callie has no choice but to take on an unlikely ally, Cash Logan. This improbable, incompatible team has to save her ex, her business, and ultimately their own lives.

Now in Rough Justice, Callie and Cash are back, and their world is about to explode.

The scene is set as Callie and Cash are eating a late dinner upstairs at her restaurant, The Bronze Pig.

It’s been a year since they saved her ex-husband’s life and subsequently had to take on unexpected, lethal adversaries. During that process—confronting kidnapping, murder and assassins burning down her restaurant—they came together, and unexpectedly, they discover that they care deeply, romantically, for one another. Now, they’ve grown comfortable together, no, more than that, against all odds, their feelings for each other have evolved beyond anything they’ve ever known—they’re wildly in love.

So, imagine their surprise when they get an unexpected, half-Algerian female guest, twenty-five-year-old Sara, showing up at the restaurant and insisting on telling them her shocking, unbelievable story. Someone is trying to kill her, and they’ve stolen her identity. She needs their help now, and she has a stunning, life-changing secret to tell.

Yet, again, Cash and Callie assemble their unconventional ragtag family—including peg-legged Andre, and Itzac, “The Macher.” Together, they go to war with formidable adversaries to save Sara, and ultimately their own lives. The fierce battle leads them to Cuba where they have to launch an audacious offensive that shocks even them…and will absolutely take your breath away.

Rough Justice: [Unabridged audiobook]

Rough Justice

Inexplicably, Cash has become troubled, depressed, irrationally angry with his friends, and worried unaccountably about the safety of his daughter and grandson. Callie suggests he see Abe Stein, the therapist who helped her son, Lew.

Reluctantly, Cash agrees, and the two men begin to explore his largely forgotten past—particularly the story of his parents, who died in a car accident when he was seven. They examine his distant memories, his barely recalled dreams, his feelings about the daughter he didn’t know until she was twenty-five, having a new grandson. It appears that there is some basis for his depression, his irrational anger, but something does not fit.

As the horrors from his past come alive in the present, Cash and Callie must assemble their most trusted allies: Andre, a prosthetic-legged Afro-Caribbean mercenary; Itzac, the “Macher,” perhaps the largest diamond traders in the world; Seattle Detective Ed Samter, a proven partner; and now Abe. Therapy raised dormant, burning issues from his past, but nothing has prepared Cash for the enemy he’s about to face in Out of the Past, the exciting third Callie and Cash thriller… This time, he must take on the unthinkable…
