Cut and Run

Trauma victims are not new to medical examiner Faith McIntyre, but this one is different. The unconscious woman clinging to life after a hit and run is FBI agent Macy Crow. What the woman from Quantico was doing in a dark alley after midnight is just one mystery.

The other is more unsettling: Macy is Faith’s mirror image—the twin sister she never knew she had.
Faith knew that she was adopted, but now she’s finding that her childhood concealed other secrets. Following the trail of clues Macy left behind, Faith and Texas Ranger Mitchell Hayden make a shocking discovery on an isolated country ranch—a burial ground for three women who disappeared thirty years before.

They weren’t the only victims in a killer’s twisted plot. And they won’t be the last.

Uncertain Stakes

A woman with a lust for risk taking…

She’s missing, with more suspects than evidence.

While investigating a cold case and juggling family obligations, Detective Luca finds himself at the center of the mysterious disappearance of Beth Wade.

As he unravels the young woman’s life, the list of suspects grows exponentially. A husband, a lover, a disgruntled client, an ex, a criminal, a loan shark—they all had motive to harm Beth, but the evidence against any of them is sketchy, at best.

The truth seems just out of Luca’s grasp, but he’s determined to uncover the truth about what happened the night she vanished. 
With political pressure to handle the case sensitively limiting his investigation, and personal concerns weighing down on him, Luca must press ahead and trust his gut…or risk losing the perpetrator forever.

Uncertain Stakes

Bloody Genius

At the local state university, two feuding departments have faced off on the battleground of science and medicine. Each carries their views to extremes that may seem absurd, but highly educated people of sound mind and good intentions can reasonably disagree, right?

Then a renowned and confrontational scholar winds up dead, and Virgil Flowers is brought in to investigate . . . and as he probes the recent ideological unrest, he soon comes to realize he’s dealing with people who, on this one particular issue, are functionally crazy. Among this group of wildly impassioned, diametrically opposed zealots lurks a killer, and it will be up to Virgil to sort the murderer from the mere maniacs.

Bloody Genius

Coexistence

Kimmy is trying to return to who she was at thirteen years old; who she was before she was kidnapped and traumatized by one of her mother’s many boyfriends.

But Kimmy doesn’t realize that her personalities, like Matryoshka dolls, were nested inside her years before the kidnapping.

In her teens, Kimmy was seeing a therapist before the therapist broke her confidence and exposed Kimmy’s life story in a book. One of the dolls inside her, Patty-Cake, dealt with that betrayal quite efficiently.

At age thirty-one, Kimberley Jean Tanner, with Patty-Cake’s help, walked into a Nursing Home and started shooting. Her first shot killed her Father and the Father of the child taken from her sixteen years ago. But then, it wasn’t Patty-Cake’s first murder.

Never more desperate to save innocent lives, and to save himself, Cray follows each new lead around the world. But with his own grip on reality slipping away, Cray knows that to follow the pattern of an elusive killer, he must also confront his own dark side.

In those dangerous shadows, he can find what he’s hunting. For Cray, venturing into a world without reason is going to be the most frightening journey of his life.
