Three full-length thrillers. Over a quarter million words to help you lose sleep!
OCEAN OF FEAR
Blackmailed into working for the cartel, a brilliant robotics engineer helps them deliver drugs. When an FBI agent learns the truth, will she arrest him or recruit him?
Spamming inboxes provides Baxter Cruise with easy college money after his parents die. But when he trips over the corpse of a murdered professor, his cozy world explodes.
Avoiding the police, Baxter's professor friend, goes on the run. Is he afraid? Or is he the killer?
When a student asks Baxter for help on a project, Baxter finds out that his friend was working for the cartel. Drug running isn't in the same league as spam, but unless Baxter agrees to finish the project, they'll kill him.
While an FBI agent hunts the professor's brutal assassin, every angle of her investigation points to Baxter. He's hiding something, but he's in too deep to trust her with the truth.
The cartel needs Baxter's robotics expertise for a single deadly project. After that, there's no reason to keep him alive. Kidnapped from his ivory tower to work on weapons of destruction, he just wants to go home.
It's not Baxter's war. But he's the only one who can stop it.
SPIDER GAMES
No one outruns a dirty past . . .
When police pull the bloated corpse of a young woman out of the river, FBI agent Claudia Seagal investigates. First, they have to find out the victim's identity. No one locally claims to know her. Was she a runaway? Or caught in modern slavery?
As they try to identify the woman, a bombing kills three people in San Francisco, and a new terrorist group claims victory. But the evidence ties into an old case of Claudia's where a gunrunner died in custody.
Claudia is up for a promotion, and her relationship with robotics expert, Baxter Cruise, is now kind of a thing. When a major investor asks Baxter to join a hot startup company, his professional prospects glisten. But clouds from his dark past threaten to destroy their lives.
While she hunts for a killer, new evidence shakes her confidence. What she thought was solid now quivers, spiraling her closer to a devastating end.
ECHOES FROM DEATH
Claudia Seagal became an FBI agent after her boyfriend's savage death. But he may have been just another killer.
When she was a college student, Claudia accompanied her lover to Mazatlán for spring break. The last-minute trip was exciting until Ravi's brutal murder. Unable to help him while he perished in a dirty alley, she joined the FBI in response to his senseless death. A decade later, a reluctant witness comes forward, and Claudia discovers that the trip wasn't spontaneous. It was premeditated. Ravi went to meet a man who worked for the cartel.
While she investigates the new lead and Ravi's betrayal, she and robotics expert Baxter Cruise travel to Mexico for answers. In the foreign country, her FBI badge is useless, and on both sides of the border, someone wants them dead.
Meanwhile, Mexico's national archaeological museum hires investigator Kurt Meyers (Dark Pool) to locate priceless pre-Columbian artifacts that went missing at the same time as Ravi's murder. When another man leaves a trail of bodies in his quest to acquire the artifacts, Kurt searches for a connection between his case and the cold-case murder of a college student in Mazatlán.
As Claudia and Baxter unravel the truth about Ravi's death, it threatens the secrets of the local cartel boss. When the four factions descend on the same turf, not everyone gets out alive.
