The 21st Juror
Charlotte Reed, a brilliant defense attorney with a perfect winning record, lives by one rule: guilt is an emotion, and the law deals only in evidence. Her meticulously ordered world is shattered when she takes the case of Senator Marcus David Gray, the magnetic frontrunner for the U.S. Presidency, who is charged with the cold-blooded murder of his Chief of Staff. The evidence is overwhelming, but Charlotte's gut tells her the Senator is innocent of the murder-but deeply complicit in a terrifying, hidden plot. Her suspicion is confirmed by two explosive facts: An anonymous warning points to Townhome 21-a shadow operative base next door. A frantic whisper from her vanishing partner reveals a massive, untraceable wire transfer to a foreign shell company linked to political espionage. Now, Charlotte must form a reckless, illegal alliance with Detective Anne Austin, the lead investigator who is simultaneously hunting the real killer and running from a professional clean-up crew. As the evidence of a staged murder and a sophisticated foreign insertion plot mounts, Charlotte realizes the Judge presiding over the case, Joseph Lomax, Sr., is compromised and actively steering the trial to protect the conspirators. Caught in a race against a global network, Charlotte must risk her life, her career, and her perfect record to break the Judge, expose the treason, and win a high-stakes battle where legal ethics must yield to moral necessity. The fight for the truth is no longer a search for a verdict-it's a war against a shadow political network that has installed its own 21st Juror to silence the rule of law.

The Frost Murders
The Frost Murders: A Victorian Christmas Mystery "The dead cannot cry out for justice. It is a duty of the living to do so for them." London, 1895. The city is blanketed in snow, but beneath the festive white lies a crimson trail of vengeance. On the morning of December 23rd, the first body arrives on the morning frost. Lady Catherine Pemberton, a wealthy widow and prominent philanthropist, is found strangled in her Belgravia drawing room. Above her head hangs a grotesque gift: a red velvet stocking overflowing with her own blood-soaked jewellery and a single golden pear ornament. For consulting detective Octavius Frost, a man haunted by a childhood promise to never remain silent in the face of injustice, the symbolism is chillingly clear. A killer is performing a masterpiece—a "Twelve Days of Christmas" carol written in blood. Frost must partner with the formidable Dr. Helena Ashford, a pioneering female physician and forensic specialist, to decode a pattern of "accidental" deaths that have been occurring across London for over a week. As they unearth a dark conspiracy involving the Society of St. Nicholas, Frost is forced to confront the corruption in his own aristocratic family’s past and a tragedy twenty years in the making. The Frost Murders is the first investigation in the gripping Octavius Frost Mysteries, a planned 10-book series combining meticulous historical research with the atmospheric tension of classic Victorian crime fiction.

Sutured Monuments
Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.

As more "monuments" appear across the city, Margaret realizes she isn't just hunting a killer; she is witnessing a manifesto. The killer, known as The Surgeon, is selecting victims who escaped justice, transforming their sins into permanent anatomical displays. But the investigation is a trap. The Surgeon has been watching Margaret for a decade, waiting for the perfect moment to collect the final piece of a living masterpiece. To save her estranged daughter and stop the slaughter, Margaret must confront a monster she herself helped create—and a past that was never truly sutured shut. The first pulse-pounding installment of THE ANATOMICAL MURDERS series.
