Police Procedurals

He’d killed before. Infidelity made him kill again. Now taking the lives of all the women who’ve wronged him is his only focus.

Wrath is the first novel in the can’t-miss, read-all-night, Lieutenant Harrington Series. Believable plots (and that’s what’s troubling) set the stage for some dark and gritty cop vs. killer action in the streets of Miami. Join Nash and his team as they pursue justice for the innocent and go head to head with some of the most ruthless and homicidal adversaries imaginable.

Dark Humorous Fiction

“You want to pay me to sleep with your wife?”

Kirk is extremely surprised by Ralph’s proposition. He’s even more surprised by the next part: Kirk is supposed to perform BADLY, to make Ralph look good by comparison. And Julie isn’t supposed to know that any of this was planned.

It’s the kind of offer any smart, sane person would turn down. But this is not a book about smart, sane people. This is “bad decisions spiral out of control” all the way.
