THE JUDAS GATE
When the remains of a young boy's body are found in a shallow grave on the farm belonging to PI Evan Buckley's nemesis, Carl Hendricks, Evan finds himself facing an impossible dilemma. Hendricks is dying and Evan is the only person he'll share his deathbed confession with. The case has been dead for thirteen years and now the police are desperate for Evan's help. But did Hendricks really kill the boy? And if not, what does he want from Evan?
The deeper Evan gets drawn into the case, the more it converges on his own troubled past, the people and places that have haunted him in the nighttime hours, now back in the here and now. And at the end of it all, he's forced to make one last impossible decision.
OLD SCORES
When upcoming country music star Taylor Harris hires a private investigator to catch her cheating husband, she gets a lot more than she bargained for. He says he’s found a secret in her past that even she’s not aware of - a curse on her life, a blood feud hanging over her for thirty years. But when he disappears, it’s down to PI Evan Buckley to pick up the pieces. Was the threat real? And if so, did it disappear along with the crooked investigator? Or did it just get worse?
And as his search draws to a close, inflaming old scores dormant for half a lifetime and laying bare the biggest lie of all, he’s forced to put a heavy burden on his unsuspecting client, one that he knows all too well himself.
ONCE BITTEN
When PI Evan Buckley’s mentor, Elwood Crow, asks a simple favor of him – to review a twenty-year-old autopsy report – there’s only one thing Evan can be sure of: simple is the one thing it won’t be. As he heads off to Cape Ann on the Massachusetts coast Evan soon finds himself on the trail of a female serial killer, and the more he digs, the more two questions align themselves. Why has the connection not been made before? And is Crow’s interest in finding the truth or in saving his own skin?
And as the case draws to a close and Evan unravels twenty years’ of duplicity and obfuscation, one simple mistake leads to unforeseen and disastrous consequences while at the same time teaching him a painful lesson too late – that even those you trust the most will let you down.
WHAT EVERYONE IS SAYING:
★★★★★ ‘I absolutely loved this one. I laughed, cried and held my breath on more than one occasion. Lost sleep as I couldn't put it down, and you left me wanting more.’
★★★★★ "I love the honest grittiness of this new character, his flaws, his heart and his determination."
★★★★★ "So good I bought another....and another...."
★★★★★ "Boy oh boy page turner all the way."
★★★★★ "Try and solve this mystery. No chance."
★★★★★ "Don't pick it up, if you don't have time to not put it down."
For readers who enjoy gritty, fast-paced crime thrillers, including those by Robert Crais, Robert B. Parker, Harlan Coben, John Sandford, Robert Galbraith and others.
