Broken and disillusioned after nearly dying at the hands of a serial killer, freelance writer John Standard flees his home in Portland, Oregon, for the tropical haven of Zihuatanejo, Mexico, only to find himself reluctantly drafted into the search for the missing granddaughter of a wealthy industrialist.

Standard learns that she may have become one of the Paradise Girls - young American girls who are kidnapped from their homes and forced into prostitution in Mexico.

His search takes him into a dark underside of life in Mexico ruled by the wealthy Raul Barrego and his mysterious female companion, an assassin known only by the name La Pantera. Can Standard find the missing girl and bring her back to safety without endangering his own life or that of others?

A fast-paced thriller set in the criminal underworld of Mexico, PARADISE GIRLS is the second book in Tom Towslee's John Standard series.

Paradise Girls

When a seemingly innocent food blogger is murdered in the quiet Mexican beach town of Zihuatanejo, John Standard's girlfriend asks him to find out what happened.

Standard, wanting only to be left alone to enjoy the sun, food, and tequila of his new home, reluctantly agrees. His search leads him to the beautiful and dangerous daughter of a notorious drug lord, and an unlikely alliance with a Shakespeare-quoting DEA agent.

After a high-powered encounter with the cartel killers, Standard's search for the truth leaves a trail of dead bodies in its wake. Does he still have what it takes to get the job done?

The Drug Lord's Daughter

Only John Standard knows how billionaire Proctor Scofield really died. He’s kept the secret for four years, but now, a lawyer determined to learn what really happened has tracked him down in the sleepy coastal town of Zihuatanejo, Mexico.

Standard reluctantly agrees to tell him the story, but only if he listens to the entire tale. What unveils over the next few days is a story of murder, betrayal and a two-decade-old conspiracy involving the death of a young girl.

A crime thriller set in Mexico, RICH MAN DEAD MAN is the fourth book in Tom Towslee's John Standard series.
