A very good plot and characters and an exciting read. I really can't take a star away for the one problem I found in Omega Dog but just want to pass along my views about a nagging problem I found in the book.  I was a short way into the book when I had to stop and go to the author's page and just as I thought, he is British. This is only a problem because he is writing a story set in the United States and his characters speak American English and would not be saying fortnight or torch. The British have an aggravating way of shortening their words and when mention was made of the aircon working in the motel I was waiting for a comment on the lino on the floor. I love British mysteries and probably read more of them than anything else and neither of these things would have been a problem in a British novel. If the author or editor cannot catch these things then perhaps it would be better to set the stories in England and not the United States. Since this is the start of a series I would highly recommend paying closer attention to these little things that distract from the story. Perhaps not from the story but from the reading of the story which is very good.
