A prominent attorney who dies under suspicious circumstances. Three wealthy and powerful men who had wanted him dead. A beautiful young widow. A fat insurance policy. A luxury yacht used to smuggle drugs from Mexico into Southern California. An insurance investigator who needs to sort it all out and save the woman he loves from prison. It all makes for a wild ride of a story where nothing is as it seems. When prominent divorce attorney Francis Capella goes flying off a cliff in his new Porsche, it seems at first a tragic accident. But then, a date rape drug is discovered in his coffee thermos found near the crash scene. Suspicion falls immediately upon his beautiful young wife, Delilah, the beneficiary of a five million dollar life insurance policy. Patrick Brennan is sent to by the insurance company to investigate. In an unexpected turn of events, he falls in love with Delilah and must prove her innocence to save her from life in prison. Who was the true killer? Was it the housekeeper? Or one of the attorney's many enemies? Was it the prominent plastic surgeon, or the billionaire tech mogul? Or perhaps the wealthy home developer, who had once threatened the victim's life? Could one of them have set a "honey trap", luring the attorney to his death with an attractive woman? Will Delilah be convicted? Will Patrick find the true killer? Will their love story end happily ever after?

Mystery

Nouvellenoir Publishing

A seductive but dangerous woman and a sadistic serial killer combine to turn the life of a small town cop completely upside down. Carlo Jardina has built a nice quiet life for himself as a detective with the Prescott AZ police department. But it all changes when a snitch he's befriended tells him an intriguing story, and on a weekend trip to Las Vegas he meets one Jezebel Waterhouse. She's a very desirable woman, Jezebel, and Carlo falls hard for her. She promises he can win her heart forever with one small favor...killing Mr. Waterhouse. His life gets still more complicated when a stranger picks his town for the first of a string of sadistic sex killings. Stephen, as he calls himself, moves on from Arizona but continues to taunt Carlo with letters containing arcane clues together with items of physical evidence as he continues his murderous spree. As the summer drags on the questions for Carlo stack up as fast as the bodies of gruesomely slain young women. How can he help stop Stephen when even the FBI is completely frustrated? And what about Jezebel? Can he really bring himself to follow through with the murder he's agreed to commit for her, or is he just stringing her along?
