Read more of the Amazon best-selling series that readers have compared to Reacher, Longmire and others. You won’t be able to put them down!

The job of criminal investigator in a rural Florida county is never easy, but it’s even harder when your father is the sheriff.

Join Larry Macklin as he deals with departmental corruption, serial killers, treasure hunters, blackmailers, hurricanes and enough murders to fill a BBC mystery series.

This set includes:

March’s Luck

Though happy to be back at his job as a criminal investigator, Larry Macklin is struggling to adapt to life with his new partner.  But concerns about his work relationship quickly take a back seat to his personal life when his irrational ex-girlfriend, Marcy, returns to town.

Larry soon has bigger problems when members of a prominent local family are killed off one by one. As he tries to find the murderer before anyone else in the family loses their life, Larry’s investigation intersects with a hare-brained search for stolen Nazi gold.

Are the bumbling treasure hunters—Marcy among them—somehow responsible for the murders?  Or is someone else picking off members of the family for financial gain?  With a long list of suspects and a very short list of motives, Larry is going to need a lot of luck to solve this case.

April’s Desires

The peace of spring is shattered for criminal investigator Larry Macklin when his best friend, Pete Henley, is accused of brutally killing his daughter’s ex-boyfriend.  Larry knows that Pete is innocent, but the evidence is heavily weighted against him.

Before Larry can even begin to clear Pete’s name, he is pulled off of the case to investigate another murder where the prime suspect is the local chief of police.  As Larry investigates the latest death, it soon becomes clear that the murders may be related, part of a string of killings stretching back almost two decades. 

In order to solve the case, Larry will have to risk everything he holds dear—his ethics, his friendships, his loyalty to the sheriff’s department… and his life.

May’s Danger

Murder strikes close to home for criminal investigator Larry Macklin when his girlfriend, Cara Laursen, finds a body at the veterinary clinic where she works.

There are no signs of forced entry, making it clear that someone at the clinic must be involved in the murder.  But before Larry and his partner, Darlene Marks, can make much headway in the investigation, another body is discovered and the clinic’s office manager, Sandra Strom, disappears.

Is Sandra a murderer or just another victim?  Frustrated and increasingly concerned for Cara’s safety, Larry follows a trail of evidence that leads across state lines and deep into the world of a major drug operation.  In over his head, Larry is forced to seek help from his old nemesis Matt Greene, now working for the DEA.  Will they be able to find Sandra before it’s too late?

June’s Troubles

Criminal investigator Larry Macklin is enjoying a relaxing family vacation on the Florida coast… until a body washes up next door and all hell breaks loose.  It’s soon apparent that the island’s hapless police chief is not up to the task of finding a murderer.

As more bodies are discovered, Larry and his father are drawn into the investigation against their will and far out of their jurisdiction.  The situation is not improved by the arrival of the local sheriff, Will Duncan, a harsh man who resents the Macklins involvement.

Larry soon finds himself juggling both the murder investigations and his father’s increasingly tense relationship with the rival sheriff.  When Duncan charges an innocent man with one of the murders, Larry knows he’s running out of time.  Will he be able to find the real killer before his father is arrested for obstruction of justice… or worse?
