The Break Even Trilogy

The story continues in a three-part arc that pulls the espionage subplot — threaded quietly through the main series — into the foreground. Same world, same roots in Vancouver, but the stakes go global.

1. IThe Fall of Detective Chamberlain
2. IIThe Harrowing Escapades of Sasha Ivanov
3. IIIThe End of the Beginning for Detective Chamberlain and Sasha Ivanov

Break Even I and II end on a hopeful note rather than full resolution — it's told as one continuous story across all three books. The complete ending arrives in Break Even III.

Do I have to read them in order?

Every book in the series stands alone. But reading in order is highly recommended — characters and subplots carry across books, and the espionage thread that pays off in Break Even builds quietly from the very beginning.
