  Edge, a shadow organization made up of the most powerful figures in Galway society, exists to rid the city of criminals and abusers who have evaded the law. Long wary of the organization, the Vatican is not pleased when rumors start swirling that one of the Catholic Church's own priests has joined its ranks. And who better to ask to intercede than the whiskey-swigging ex-cop who always seems to have one foot in the pub and another among Ireland's clergy? 
   
   
   
  Lately, Jack has been spending his days sitting at the bedside of a man he put into a coma and taking care of a little dog named Trip, bequeathed to him by a dead nun. Then an envoy to the Archdiocese shows up at his door, asking Jack to go speak to a priest named Kevin Whelan and dissuade him from any involvement with Edge. Jack accepts the mission, but the next day Father Whelan is found dead, hanging from a rope in his own backyard. 
   
   
   
  Would Edge really kill one of their own? And if not, who else would be bold enough to take on the most powerful organization in the city? As more Edge members are murdered, the Vatican grows alarmed that someone even worse will take their place. It's up to Jack Taylor to nail the culprit before Edge is dissolved completely and Galway is thrown into chaos.

  Black Cloud Rising

  By fall of 1863, Union forces had taken control of Tidewater Virginia and established a toehold in eastern North Carolina, including along the Outer Banks.  
   
  Thousands of freed slaves and runaways flooded the Union lines, but Confederate irregulars still roamed the region. In December, the newly formed African Brigade, a unit of these former slaves led by General Edward Augustus Wild—a one-armed,  
  impassioned abolitionist—set out from Portsmouth to hunt down the rebel guerrillas and extinguish the threat. 
   
  From this little-known historical episode comes Black Cloud Rising, a dramatic, moving account of these soldiers—men who only weeks earlier had been enslaved, but were now Union infantrymen setting out to fight their former owners. At the heart of the narrative is Sergeant Richard Etheridge, the son of a  
  slave and her master, raised with some privileges but constantly reminded of his place. Deeply conflicted about his past, Richard is eager to show himself to be a credit to his race. As the African Brigade conducts raids through the areas occupied by the Confederate Partisan Rangers, he and his comrades recognize  
  that they are fighting for more than territory. Wild’s mission is to prove that his troops can be trusted as soldiers in combat. And because many of the men have fled from the very plantations in their path, each raid is also an opportunity to free loved ones left behind. For Richard, this means the possibility of reuniting  
  with Fanny, the woman he hopes to marry one day. 
   
  With powerful depictions of the bonds formed between fighting men and heartrending scenes of sacrifice and courage, Black Cloud Rising offers a compelling and nuanced portrait of enslaved men and women crossing the threshold to freedom.

  A murdered model. A missing girl. A lead no one wants followed. 
  It’s the late 1990s. An FBI Special Agent is pulled from his post at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow and sent to Athens, Greece on a high-stakes mission. 
  A Russian supermodel has been brutally murdered. Her closest friend is missing. 
  The agent’s new partner is from Russia’s MVD—a sharp, young officer with elite training and no patience for American arrogance. 
  Trust is limited. Time is short. And someone is already working to shut the investigation down. 
  As the search widens, unexpected allies emerge—analysts, agents, and specialists with their own reasons for getting involved. 
  One thing is clear: 
  This isn’t just another murder. It’s the first step into something deeper—and darker. 
  NADEZHDA DIES LAST - Book Two in the Directive Seven Series. 
  An unflinching, high-stakes FBI thriller inspired by the real-life experiences of a former Special Agent. 
  When cases are too sensitive, too strange, or too explosive for official channels, they’re handed down from the Director’s office—the seventh floor of the J. Edgar Hoover Building—under a covert mandate known only as: 
  DIRECTIVE SEVEN 
  Operating without a team, without recognition, and sometimes without backup, one agent and his unlikely partners follow the threads others refuse to touch—from international conspiracies and high-level corruption to missing persons, apparitions, and secrets that were never meant to surface. 
  These are the cases that never made the news—because they were never supposed to.
