  Every nightmare has a beginning. 
  While researching the origins of King’s Court, Jack meets Percy Simmons, a 99-year-old ex-guard who began his career at the infamous prison way back in 1935. The man has a story to tell, one involving such names as Harry Lightman, Squizzy Taylor, and other notorious criminals of the time. These were the days of the razor gangs, when guards ruled with an iron fist and the executioner took care of the rest. 
  But inmates are just half the story, with Percy revealing the insights into a system seen as more corrupt than the people they were meant to watch. With a ruthless warden at the helm, and a captain of the guards more notorious than the prison itself, this is one nightmare few will survive. Is Jack ready to meet the ghosts of the infamous jail, or will a shocking revelation drag him back into the depths of his own personal hell? 
  Brothers in Anarchy is the third book in the MAX series, a raw and brutal story of survival. If you like your books fast-paced, gripping and original, then you’ll love this new and exciting crime thriller series.

  When in doubt, go to the library . . . and solve the murder mystery! 
   
   
   
  Greta Plank, library director in the small, lakeside town of Larkspur, Wisconsin, prefers her rose-tinted glasses extra rosy, thank you very much. It's how she copes with the hard stuff in life . . . like her sister's death and her ex-boyfriend's deception. But Greta's cheery resolve takes a hit when she stumbles upon a dead body on her way home from work. What she assumes is a terrible accident Greta soon learns is something more sinister, and to make matters worse, a new-to-town detective cites her as not only his primary source for the case, but his top suspect. 
   
   
   
  Greta decides to do some off-the-books clue cataloging of her own. With the help of her fellow librarians and her lawyer mom, Greta flips through the pages of the murder, uncovering details about Larkspur's real estate market and the deceased's rare book collection as she tries to understand why anyone would have authored his death. 
   
   
   
  With friends and neighbors stacking up as both victims and suspects, Greta must cross reference the facts and put a hold on her idyllic worldview if she wants to get the full story without paying the fine of her life.

  "The perfect substitute for that good-time trip to California you've decided not to take after all." —Kirkus Reviews 
   
   
   
  A new breed of brazen criminal forces Buddy Steel into unfamiliar territory. Will he outsmart the ingenious thieves before they get the best of him? 
   
   
   
  Buddy Steel, acting Sheriff of Freedom, California, is enjoying some well-deserved R&R at a friend's mountain hideaway when he's called home to investigate a home invasion—at his father's address. The break-in is just one in a series, perpetrated by ingeniously inventive burglars. To complicate matters, Buddy must also investigate a spate of cyber crimes targeting local businesses and individuals—an area well outside of his experience and comfort zone. 
   
   
   
  Already on the trail of the cybercriminals is LAPD Gang Enforcement's foremost computer geek, Detective Quinn Anthony. Buddy teams up with the unconventional—and much younger—brainiac to trace the convoluted trail of the hackers. From the adjunct of a vicious LA-based cartel to outside of US borders, Buddy and Quinn race to take down the hackers and recover the spoils. The closer they get, the more danger they face; and the more danger they face, the closer they become . . .
