Deadly Reunion (2010)
(TV Newsroom, book 5)

My Detective (2019)
(Sam Carver, book 1)
Jeffrey Fleishman
"A lyrical crime debut that offers a haunting tête-à-tête between killer and cop ... and a chilling reminder that cruelty never dies."

The Secrets They Left Behind (2020)
Lissa Marie Redmond
"Redmond’s mystery is filled with dark small-town secrets, but it’s her engaging heroine who keeps you turning the pages. In a genre filled with world-weary heroes, it’s refreshing to meet a protagonist who is authentic, new to the job, and honest about her mistakes."

Wolf Kill (2021)
(Sam Rivers Mystery, book 1)
Cary J Griffith
"Griffith’s prose makes you feel the winter chill… and the twisty plot delivers a chill down your spine. This is a Minnesota mystery with razor-sharp teeth."

The Last Commandment (2021)
(Austin Grant of Scotland Yard, book 1)
Scott Shepherd
"Written in taut, tight chapters that land like a hail of bullets. You’ll race through this story."
