Ghosts of Angels

Every year, for over 500 years, La Orden de las Serpientes de Cristo, a secretive sixteenth century Mexican cult has systematically conducted human sacrifices. Nick Palmer, a dispirited homicide detective, and his partner Gabriela Martinez are unknowingly investigating the latest murder in the abhorrent sequence of killings—the unidentified body of a young woman found in front of the Holy Name Cathedral in Chicago. Apparitions of the cult’s prior victims begin appearing to Nick. These ghostly figures send him on a quest to track down the leaders of the cult responsible for the ritualistic executions. Nick and Gabriela’s cat-and-mouse chase take them through major cities in Europe and Mexico in a deadly, high-stakes game of murder, retribution, love, and surprises that will change everyone’s perception of life and death.

Next of Kin

An innocent girl is murdered on a quiet backstreet in Paris. The depraved methodology used by the killers to end her life reignites the nightmare that ex-cop, Nicholas Palmer, believed he’d put to rest almost twenty years earlier. The girl’s murder is eerily like killings sanctioned by La Orden de las Serpientes de Cristo, the centuries-old Mexican cult that ritualistically slaughtered young women to appease Quetzalcoatl, the unholy snake god. Now Nick, his wife Gabriela, and Alain Moreau, deputy director in Paris’s police force, have been dragged back to relive the horrors of the cult’s earlier slaughters. But the game has changed, and Nick has been coerced into enlisting the help of his daughter Lucy, her friend Sierra–a world-famous fashion model–and ghostly apparitions of past victims to eradicate the demonic cult once and for all. The chase takes them from Paris, New York, Monaco, Moscow, and Mexico with murderous encounters with Russian oligarchs, paid assassins, Mexican drug lords, and merciless acolytes of Philippe Rodriguez, the billionaire leader of the depraved sect. Next of Kin is a thrilling page-turner that will have you sitting on the edge of your seat until the very last word.

Henry’s Dream

Jonathan raised his gun, fired, and Sophia Kim, the beautiful Korean spy he’d spent the night with, crumpled to the floor, laying in a quickly spreading pool of her own blood.
So begins a thrill ride of mayhem, murder, and international intrigue where, in an unexpected twist, the hunter becomes the hunted and all bets are off as to who’ll get to him first: the CIA, Russian Intelligence, or a remorseless South American drug lord.
