Misty Mountain Productions: 8 books

A dead psychic on Halloween night. Heroin filtering into the town's schools. A sullen ex-con with a beef of his own, and a legislator with secrets to protect. Not what homicide detective Claudia Hershey expected when she moved to Indian Run, a smudge on Florida's map. But there's no turning back when the killer makes things personal.

Lake Tahoe has everything: majestic snow-covered mountains, one of the world’s deepest and most famous Alpine lakes, a sprinkling of charming casino resorts, pure air that you can't see, and the smell of towering pine trees. Maggie McGuire, fresh out of Duke University, loves her exciting new job...

Time’s up. Syndicate boss Carlos Giovanni marks Jack Frost for termination. But this will not be a typical “Full Call” assassination, where the first Syndicate hitman who finds and kills Frost can claim the money and the bragging rights. Instead, Giovanni unleashes just one legendary—nearly mythical—assassin to make the kill.

They look like tragic accidents: An old woman drowned in her tub. An old man drowned in a pond. But when Florida Detective Claudia Hershey looks beyond the evidence, someone looks back—someone who will stop at nothing to silence her from seeing what was there all along.

When a hostage situation in a gated community turns deadly, Detective Claudia Hershey is spun into an investigation where the only certainties are deceit and betrayal. Whether she can restore tranquility to the quiet Florida town and salvage her career depends on the community’s newest residents—and who stays alive.

Jack Frost is not one to turn the other cheek. He and his antisocial Doberman, J.T. Ripper, head for Las Vegas to settle a very personal account with Harry Varchetta, CEO of one of the Las Vegas Strip’s oldest and most famous resorts. But waiting for them in Sin City is James Red Sleeves, a full-blooded Apache Syndicate enforcer, perhaps the most dangerous man Frost has ever faced.

Jack Frost is blessed with a warrior’s mentality and cursed with a conscience and fierce loyalty to friends. J.T. Ripper, Frost’s Scotch-drinking Doberman from hell, does not share his owner’s sense of right and wrong. Ripper was born in a vile mood and hates pretty much everyone and everything....
