Hardboiled Crime Fiction

If you could find criminals before they commit crimes...what would you do about it? A vigilante has appeared on the streets, taking justice into their own hands, and no one is safe. The police are baffled for one reason - the vigilante somehow anticipates where criminals will strike. Before they do. It's technology vs. toughness, as Inspector Locke has to out-think a blockchain-powered, social media-wielding opponent. Will he make it in time to save the next victim of this "Man with the Silver Cane"?

Trevor Locke used to solve cases for the FBI. Now he trudges through a quiet early-retirement routine in the San Francisco Bay Area. Until an old friend's brother turns up dead. For no reason. When Trevor agrees to help, he finds out that the victim moved 3 times in a year. Running from something. But nobody knows the reason for that either.

Lies hurt. Truth kills. Four years after the tragic suicide of Alice Delgado, eldest daughter of Albuquerque’s top racing driver, her younger sister, Lily, is reported missing and two of her peers are found dead. Detective Temeke’s investigation leads him to a private boarding school on the Rio Grande where the discovery of occult practices and an ancient book ignite a chain reaction of heartbreaking truths.

Everyone has secrets. Some more deadly than others. When the ninth girl falls into the clutches of a serial killer, Detective Temeke faces a race against time to save her life. The Duke City Police Department in Albuquerque, New Mexico is no stranger to gruesome murders, but this new serial killer on their block keeps the body parts of his eight young victims as trophies and has a worrying obsession with the number 9.
