Novels
· "Death Stalks the Khmer" by Pat Harrington
· "Death Comes Too Soon" by Pat Harrington
"A mystery series featuring Bridget O'Hern, and amateur sleuth, who has a Norwegian Elkhound for a companion. Narvik, is actually the name of our family dog of 16 years. I think it's very fitting to memorialize her with a fictional offspring who accompanies Bridget as she "seeks her bliss," and finds bodies stewn on the path. My website is www.patriciaharrington, and the book can be ordered at www.publishamerica.com or at amazon.com."
