Here is the information about his book, Hard Cache:
SEATTLE – Hard Cache (Bennett & Hastings Publishing, September 2010) is the story of past mistakes and present reckoning, and of the horrible price that must sometimes be paid when guilty debts come due. Charles B. Neff’s new thriller is set in the Cascade Mountains of Central Washington, but the story is connected to an old wartime horror in faraway Afghanistan. Accelerating action surrounds a core of hope and love, and of very human efforts to achieve redemption.
Neither marriage nor murder is on Magnus Torval’s agenda when he and his fiancé, Mariela, travel to a Cascade mountain town of Swiftwater, Washington. But the recently retired police officer soon finds himself swept up in the rip tides of both. Mariela’s spontaneous wedding plans and his own discovery of a fresh corpse make for an unholy combination that threatens to drown their happiness and to jail a beloved pastor whose fellow-believers fled religious persecution in Russia.
Along with a local policeman and a young Ukrainian woman, Magnus and Mariela are sucked into events that lead to upheaval for many and terror for some, exposing buried connections to art theft, organized crime and brutality during the Russian-Afghan War. Tributaries of memory and action, celebration and revenge, past and present, converge in a climactic confrontation deep in the mountains.
Hard Cache races readers through mounting incidents that force people to examine their commitments – past, present and future – in the light of unyielding reality.
