About Silen
ced Cry: Homicide detective Sam Harper is torn between guilt and suspicion after his partner is shot and killed in what should have been a routine pick-up for questioning. Determined to find his late partner’s killer, Harper has plunged back into his work when he is called to investigate infant’s skeletal remains found in an abandoned building.

The evidence in the Baby Doe case leads Harper to unearth murky secrets involving those he respects most. His former partner, his revered boss -- even his police hero father are under suspicion if drug-dealing, corruption, rape, and murder and an unexpected connection to his partner’s death. For the first time in his life, Harper must stand alone in a fog of lies where dangerous truths loom forth and the boundaries between pursuer and prey blur. Harper is left to decide how far he must go to hunt down the answers and what he will he do when he finds them. The truths Harper uncovers leaves him with a sense he can trust no one, not even himself. 
About The Devil Can Wait: The city of Chandler, Massachusetts is plunged into terror when the bodies of three local teenagers wash ashore. While homicide detective Sam Harper hunts down the guilty, a sinister plot emerges overseas. From the Vatican to the jungles of South America, a cursed black pearl ring, the demonic prophecy it represents, and the men who pursue its powers find their unfortunate way onto Harper's turf. Enthralled by the ring's story and a front-page spread, newspaper reporter Jennifer Blake agrees to pick up the ring at a local pawnshop for her former college professor. When she does, unforeseen events shoot Blake to the top of Harper's prime suspect list. Soon, the seemingly unrelated cases converge and the heat is on for Harper to expose the truth behind a Vatican secret and stop the self-righteous man who does the unthinkable in the name of God. (Coming on November 3!)
