Kentucky Vice
It's five years since his wife disappeared, but wise-cracking, street-smart PI Evan Buckley is still reeling. Tormented by demons and consumed by his unrelenting quest for the truth, he loses himself in other people's problems.
When college buddy Jesse Springer shows up with a wad of explicit photographs that arrived in the mail, Evan is roped into the most bizarre case of blackmail he's ever encountered - because Jesse swears blind he can't remember a thing. But can Evan believe him? And if things weren't bad enough, a psychopathic killer from the past embarks on a crusade of psychological revenge and twisted mind games that threaten to plunge Evan back into his darkest days.
Adrift in a sea of betrayal and lies as the body count climbs, Evan is forced to choose between his gut instinct and the blatant evidence - and the only thing he knows for sure is the wrong choice will be punished with death.
Sins Of The Father
Fifty years ago Frank Hanna made a mistake. He's never forgiven himself. Nor has anybody else for that matter. Now the time has come to atone for his sins, and there's only one person he can trust . . .
Wise-cracking, street-smart PI Evan Buckley has had some tough cases in his time. Looking for somebody who might never have existed may well be the toughest, peeling back fifty years of lies and deceit to uncover the tragic story hidden underneath. Trouble is, not everybody likes a happy ending and some very nasty people are out to make sure he doesn't succeed.
To make matters worse, Evan's own past is back to bite him with a vengeance, as his nemesis, Carl Hendricks, feeds his festering hatred from his prison cell, and sets a killer with a bow and a grudge on Evan's tail.
No rest For The Wicked
WHEN maverick P.I. Evan Buckley wins a free trip for two to an exclusive luxury hotel buried in the mountains of upstate New York, a well-earned rest should be guaranteed. After almost meeting his maker on his last case, he needs it. But when an armed gang on the run from a botched robbery that left a man dead invade the hotel and take Evan's partner Gina hostage along with the other guests and their spirited seven-year-old daughter, Evan's got his work cut out.
As the armed men become increasingly desperate and more violent, one of them develops an unhealthy obsession with Gina. Cut off from help, Evan will do anything to save her and the other hostages, but his daring plan could get them all killed if she fails to play her perilous and crucial role.
And as if that wasn't enough, the old hotel has got a few shameful secrets of its own. Only one thing's for sure - there ain't no such thing as free.
