Too Late To Say Goodbye

Mark Atley

Grief is a bitch. 
When Tony Mora’s partner Clyde dies saving his life during a botched DEA operation, the loss throws him in a tailspin. Not that things were going so well before that. Between the married (albeit unhappily) co-worker carrying his baby and his dead partner's widow putting the moves on him, Tony's romantic relationships are a complete disaster. 
Truth is, mid-level boss Franklin Hayes didn’t intend to shoot Tony’s partner. Business meetings can be tense, but they don’t have to end in a bloodbath. Unless that was the plan. With Tony on his trail, Franklin discovers he's merely a pawn in the unraveling Siriano criminal organization, but he may be stuck in a power struggle well beyond his control. 
Brimming with action, the alternating POVs in “Too Late to Say Goodbye” explore the depths of friendship and ambition. The novel answers the question: How far are people really willing to go for revenge?

Perfect Opportunity

Steven F. Havill

The morning after his eighty-seventh birthday bash, former Posadas County sheriff Bill Gastner drives past a couple of vehicles stopped on the highway shoulder. It's not an unusual sight: a sheriff's patrol unit, emergency lights ablaze, pulled in behind a pickup truck. The female deputy hasn't radioed for backup. But there's something about the scene that makes him feel uneasy. The next day, Undersheriff Estelle Reyes-Guzman is called to a rather more dramatic and disturbing roadside scene, with the same truck the star of the show. But this time, its occupant is in no fit state to talk - his dead body stabbed through the chest with a Ka-Bar, a second corpse in the ditch beside the car. What happened to the two men? And what were the dead man and the deputy discussing in the quiet of pre-dawn the previous day? The truth is more twisty and complex than even Estelle and her long-standing friend and former colleague Bill are ready for, and it will take all their combined years of experience to untangle the sorry tale and ensure justice is served.
