  NOT ALL DETECTIVES CARRY BADGES 
  A kosher inspector doesn’t come home one night. 
  By morning, his wife is certain something is wrong. 
  The police aren’t convinced. 
  He hasn’t been gone long enough. There’s no sign of violence. Officially, there’s nothing to investigate. 
  That’s when his wife turns to Jake Cooper. 
  Not a cop. Not licensed. But trained by a retired detective and trusted as the Jewish community’s internal investigator, Jake is often called when concerns don’t yet meet the legal threshold—but feel far more serious. 
  As Jake retraces the inspector’s final hours, he uncovers strained business relationships, and private confrontations. The man’s methods had quietly damaged reputations—and livelihoods. 
  Then the inspector’s body is found. 
  What began as a quiet disappearance becomes a confirmed homicide. 
  Now the police are fully involved—but Jake is already ahead, tracing the damaged reputations, private confrontations, and financial pressure the inspector left behind. The more he uncovers, the clearer it becomes: this wasn’t a random act. 
  Someone saw an opportunity. 
  Someone believed the risk was worth it. 
  This is a gripping crime thriller featuring an intellectual investigator, layered deception, and a high-stakes murder set inside a closed world where power and trust collide. 
  Perfect for readers of investigative crime fiction, parallel police and private investigations, and smart, character-driven suspense.

  An "adventurous . . . intelligent . . . ingenious" novel of crime and punishment in pre–World War II London (V. S. Pritchett). 
   
   
    
  During a demonstration in Hyde Park, Communist bus driver Jim Drover acts on instinct to protect his wife by stabbing to death the policeman set to strike her down. Sentenced to hang—whether as a martyr, tool, or murderer—Drover accepts his lot, unaware that the ramifications for the crime, and the battle for his reprieve, are inflaming political unrest in an increasingly divided city. But Drover's single, impulsive act is also upending the lives of the people he loves and trusts. Caught in a quicksand of desperation, sexual betrayal, and guilt, they will not only play a part in Drover's fate, but they'll become agents—both unwitting and calculated—of their own fates as well. 
   
   
    
  Turning the traditional narrative of the police procedural, domestic drama, and political thriller on its head, It's a Battlefield was described by Graham Greene himself as "a panoramic novel of London," one without heroes and villains, only "the injustice of man's justice."

  On Oklahoma’s Big Rock Prairie, a deaf boy finds a body in Pennington Creek. Johnston County Deputy Hannah Bond and Chickasaw Lighthorse Police Sergeant Bill Maytubby find a crime scene where nothing seems to fit—from the dead angler’s oversize waders to the kind of fish in his creel. They scour the creekside brush, then hit the road for Texas in a widening search for the killer. 
  On the Big Rock, a towering bearded man is building a limestone replica of Roman Jerusalem for a Christian passion play. His cronies, who are in league with an interstate fraud ring, want the boy to disappear now. 
  Flying an ancient rented Cessna, Maytubby takes fire from a suspect he is tailing, while Bond combs river trails for traces of the killer. 
  While Maytubby and Bond try to protect the deaf boy and his mother from the crime ring, an improbable ally materializes from the prairie oak thickets, wielding a monstrous shotgun.
