    Fiona Red, a brilliant but quirky FBI loner, spends most of her time in the lab or at crime scenes.

    Fiona remains determined to crack her sister’s case. But in the meantime, as an FBI agent, she applies her brilliance to catching killers and cracking cases that no one else can, as bugs are the first visitors to dead bodies.
    
    With her FBI partner out in the field, Fiona expects to stay behind the scenes.
    
    But Fiona, obsessed with catching killers, takes it one step too far, and may just find herself in the crosshairs of a killer herself.
    
    A page-turning and harrowing crime thriller featuring a brilliant and tortured FBI agent, the Fiona Red series is a riveting mystery, packed with non-stop action, suspense, twists and turns, revelations, and driven by a breakneck pace that will keep you flipping pages late into the night.

    Christian Davis, a former big-firm lawyer turned social justice warrior, has just been assigned the case of his life by the State of California. Jamel Jackson, a sixteen-year-old black boy, has just been convicted for the brutal rape of a prominent movie star. 
    Christian digs into the case with gusto, as he examines the trial court transcript for any hint that the trial court might have erred in Jamel's case. As he gets into the investigation of the case, he's shocked at what he has found. Corruption at the highest level is staring him in the face. 
    The problem is, the person who Christian suspects was actually behind the rape is somebody who is powerful and connected. And this person will stop at anything to make sure that young Jamel stays in prison for the crime. 
    Christian soon finds himself not only fighting the system, but also trying to stay one step ahead of the man who Christian knows was the one who raped the actress. 
    Because Christian knows that Jamel will not remain in prison for this rich bastard's crime. 
    And he will risk all, even his life, to make that doesn't happen.
