    "Enjoyable entertainment . . . a mystery/suspense novel with links to classic rock history and mythology" featuring recovering detective Mike Travis (Foreword). 
     
     
      
    After twenty years at the LAPD Homicide Bureau, Mike Travis is finally retiring and starting over on Santa Catalina Island. In the small town of Avalon, he lives and works on his yacht, sailing and chartering scuba diving trips. There, among tourists and quirky locals, he tries to banish the residual darkness from his mind. It's not that easy, especially when the one case he never solved comes back to haunt him . . .  
     
     
      
    A murdered woman on Venice Beach bears all the signs of the serial killer Travis had been tracking before he retired: a single stab wound to the heart, a series of deep cuts on the left hand, and a cryptic message—this time, a grisly computer-generated image of a lizard. To finally finish what the killer has started, all Travis must do is get as far into the madman's head as he can before the next victim is targeted—and then hope he can crawl back out again . . .

    Has a judge turned executioner? A twisting mystery thriller by the author of Deadly Grief. Nobody was happy when a mistake by the DA’s office allowed Gilbert Russell to walk free—aside from the alleged child killer himself.

But when the accused predator is found swinging from a rope near the courthouse, all eyes turn to the judge. Now Connor Phelan is tasked with defending his powerful mentor, Judge Hardy, but newly discovered DNA evidence is making his case a lot harder. His only hope for a win in the courtroom is finding the real murderer—which won’t be easy when no one in town is mourning the victim and no one is willing to speak the truth . . .Acclaim for Richard T. Cahill Jr.’s Deadly Grief “A fast read. . . . It’s a page-turner and you will be captivated by the memorable characters.” —John Ferak, bestselling author of Wrecking Crew: Demolishing the Case Against Steven Avery
