THE POSER
A Hollywood A-lister wins the Oscar of her dreams—then turns up dead before sunrise. Officials call it suicide. Detective Pat Norelli doesn’t buy it. The scene is too neat, the timeline too convenient, and the people closest to the actress are hiding behind carefully curated smiles.
When Norelli digs deeper, she uncovers a manipulator working from the shadows, someone who understands fame, fear, and the media well enough to turn them all into weapons. Every clue points to a mastermind who treats people like props and uses tragedy as a script.
As pressure mounts and powerful players close ranks, Norelli risks her career, her credibility, and her life to expose the truth. But the closer she gets to the killer, the clearer one thing becomes: this wasn’t a crime of passion—it was a performance. If you think you know how a Hollywood murder ends, think again.
Perfect for fans of Karin Slaughter, Michael Connelly, Lisa Gardner, and Robert Crais.
THE IMPOSTOR
Detective Pat Norelli has made a career out of catching killers—until the evidence brands her as one. When a close friend dies suddenly, the case spirals in a direction she never saw coming: every piece of forensic proof points straight at her. Betrayed by her department, stripped of her badge, and treated like a fugitive, Norelli is forced to vanish before she can defend herself.
On the run and cut off from the system she once trusted, she follows a trail that leads across borders and through a maze of double-crosses. Every ally might be a traitor. Every new lead could be a trap. The impostor framing her is always one step ahead—and closing in. To clear her name, Norelli must expose the real killer before she becomes their final victim.
A relentless psychological thriller where every chapter delivers a new betrayal and every page turns the screws tighter.
DARK HUNGER
Master Chef Michael Rogan has everything he worked for: a world-class San Francisco restaurant, a wife he loves, and a daughter about to leave for college. From their home above the Golden Gate Bridge, his life looks untouchable—until the past returns with teeth. Frederick Dalton, an old Army buddy turned San Quentin warden, offers Michael a deal: cook an off-the-books private meal in exchange for his estranged father’s release from Death Row. Michael refuses. But the past refuses to let go.
Hours later, his drifter brother Scott shows up desperate for work, and only days later, is found dead with Michael’s own chef’s knife in his chest. Now Michael’s a prime suspect, facing the same fate as his father.
To clear his name, he must confront a predator who feeds on fear, family, and old debts—and expose a truth the justice system was happy to bury.
A psychological thriller simmering with obsession, betrayal, and the hunger that destroys.
CHASING GRACE
A family tragedy cracks open a long-buried betrayal, forcing two brothers to confront the truth they’ve both been running from.
