About the book
One detective’s pursuit of truth and justice
When a young woman’s body is found in an alley, Jack Mallory takes on the case as the on-call detective. But before he can make a start, he is suddenly reassigned by his boss, Terrance Singleton, to the cold case of Timothy Waters, who had served 20 years in prison for the murder of Elizabeth Mitchell, the daughter of the then mayor.
A review of his conviction has set him free and as a friend of the family, Singleton wants to make sure Mallory finds more evidence to put him back behind bars.
But the case is complex and before long Mallory discovers that there is a lot more to it than meets the eye; family tensions, a witness run out of town and the possibility the victim had a second boyfriend. It all points to a shoddy investigation and a blunder that sent an innocent man to prison.
When Mallory’s investigation reveals a link between the girl in the alley, Elizabeth, and another murder victim from seven years ago, he can’t help but wonder if they are connected.
With the motive unclear, and the perpetrator a mystery, Mallory must piece together the evidence that may solve three cases instead of one, overcome a miscarriage of justice and uncover a killer who may be closer than he thinks.

About the book
Former Army Civil Affairs specialist Jo Gunning is a loner. No commitments. No fixed address.
She's enjoying her anonymity in Virginia when she crosses paths with a runaway teenage girl in need.
Assisting the girl in getting home leads to a phone call for help, and a claim from the girl that her father is holding her hostage. As Jo searches for answers, she finds that nothing is what it seems, and no one is telling the truth.
With both assassins and a shady government agency watching her every move, Jo must use all the skills the military taught her... and some they didn't.
Walking away would’ve been easier, but Jo is always willing to help someone in trouble.
"Gunning for Trouble is an excellent political thriller; great storytelling with no explicit language or violence. I love this new series and am looking forward to many more adventures with Jo Gunning!"

About the book
“Come out, come out, wherever you are...”
A beautiful young woman trapped within a killer’s sick and twisted game.
Stella Hughes called for help, but help did not come in time.
She could not hide, fight, or escape.
Stella was ensnared in the killer’s web.
The victim of a twisted serial killer’s mind.
Shortly after detective Paxton takes on the case of Stella Hughes, he realizes this is no ordinary murder. It becomes clear very quickly that Stella, the girl Paxton had known, was the victim of another serial killer - a theory that’s quickly confirmed by a bright, quirky independent journalist named Marcy. As they dig deeper into this killer, they soon learn of his twisted obsession.
With his friend FBI Special Agent Blake Wilder by his side, Paxton engages in a hunt for a killer that will take him on winding, twisting paths he never thought he would tread.
The killer will make him do what nobody else has been able to do before... confront himself and confront his past.
As the killer rampages through town and proves to be as elusive as anybody Paxton has ever hunted, the stakes for he and everybody around him rise.
And unless Paxton can find and capture him, nobody will be safe.
