Newest novel: Old Debts. Thriller story set in Stockton. 

After ten long years as a private detective, Stockton native Jake Carter is finally closing his LA agency. In just a few days he’ll put the missing teens and cheating spouses behind him and join the city's corporate world full of cushy jobs and hefty paychecks. But when his former partner is found dead in a Stockton homeless camp, murdered by a ruthless serial killer who’s targeting the city’s most vulnerable population, Carter will put his dreams on hold and return to his hometown to find the madman responsible before he strikes again.

But solving this case won’t be so easy. Standing in Carter’s way is the police force he once betrayed, a vicious gang out for revenge, and a local government official with an insatiable hunger for expansion. It’s a dangerous task indeed, and his only help will come from a brilliant professor at Delta College whose mysterious past shrouds her true motivations.

Newest novel: Black Magic Murders. Fictional true crime story set in San Francisco. 

In 1967, San Francisco was known the world over as home to the Summer of Love. Three years later, the city was paralyzed by fear as the Zodiac taunted the police with a series of threatening letters and brutal slayings. When prominent citizen Malcolm Dorrance is murdered, homicide inspectors Will Michalson and Frank Paducci eliminate the Zodiac as a suspect and narrow their focus to one man: self-professed devil-worshipper Ian Cuthgert. But instead of denying involvement, Cuthgert confesses, telling the cops he used witchcraft to murder Dorrance and he intends to kill again. Michalson dismisses this explanation as drug-induced delusion, but Paducci, a devout Catholic, is convinced Cuthgert is telling the truth. After the autopsy confirms an inexplicable cause of death, the partners race to prevent the next murder even as the conflict between their beliefs threatens to derail the entire investigation. Long overshadowed by the more prominent hunt for the Zodiac, the complete account of what would come to be known as the “Black Magic Murders” is told here for the first time by those who lived through it.

Enter the decadent, deadly city of Tiliard, a metropolis carved into the stump of an ancient tree. In its canopy, the pampered elite warp minds with toxic perfume; in its roots, gangs of exterminators hunt a colossal worm with an appetite for beauty.

In this complex, chaotic city, Guy Moulène has a simple goal: keep his sister out of debt. For her sake, he'll take on any job, no matter how vile.

As an exterminator, Guy hunts the uncanny creatures that crawl up from the river. These vermin are all strange, and often dangerous. His latest quarry is different: a centipede the size of a dragon with a deadly venom and a ravenous taste for artwork. As it digests Tiliard from the sewers to the opera houses, its toxin reshapes the future of the city. No sane person would hunt it, if they had the choice.
