July’s Trials

The Florida summer turns even hotter for criminal investigator Larry Macklin when he narrowly escapes an explosion that takes the life of a colleague.  The assumed target of the bomb is Larry’s cross-dressing confidential informant and the key witness in a major drug trial, Eddie Thompson, who’s now on the run.

As federal agents descend on Adams County, Larry is pushed aside in the investigation over concerns regarding his status as a witness… and a possible suspect.  At loose ends and with nothing to do but look for Eddie, Larry is consumed with survivor’s guilt and other emotional fall-out from the explosion that threatens to destroy the relationships he holds most dear.

Several breaks in the case finally bring Larry back into the investigation and lead to the person responsible for the bomb.  But everything still doesn’t add up and Larry is convinced that the real killer is still out there.  Can Larry and his partners solve the case before someone else loses their life?

August’s Heat

Criminal investigator Larry Macklin faces a classic who-done-it when Conrad Higgins, a local antiques dealer with questionable ethics, is found shot in his own home.

Larry soon realizes that half the town had reason to hate the man. Is the murderer the next door neighbor with an ax to grind?  The friendly nursing home volunteer who believes Higgins swindled her mother? The rich silent partner with a checkered past? Or even Higgins’s nephew, who’s on the run from his own personal demons.

Larry barely has time to wrap his brain around all the options when one of the suspects is viciously attacked and another disappears. It’s going to take all his skills as an investigator, and a little help from his partners and friends, for Larry to crack this case.   

September’s Fury

Having sparked the ire of a cantankerous county resident with plenty of money to burn, criminal investigator Larry Macklin is concerned he may have seriously damaged his father’s chances of reelection as sheriff.  When he receives a mysterious phone call from the publisher of the local paper on Pelican Island, Larry is happy to distract himself with the investigation into a possible suicide that may actually be a murder with ties to one of his old cases.

However, the strange death quickly takes a back seat when the forecast calls for a Category 3 hurricane to make landfall just west of Adams County.  But even as Larry and the rest of the department grapple with emergency management preparations, another body is discovered with evidence pointing to one of Larry’s biggest fears – that blackmailer and murderer Blake Klein might still be alive and targeting Larry for revenge.

As the storm rages, a killer moves closer to Larry and the ones that he loves.  Will he stop the murderer in time, or will this be the case that robs him of everything?

October’s Fear

Finding a body in a pile of hurricane debris is definitely not how criminal investigator Larry Macklin wants to start his morning.  The day turns even worse when the body is found to be that of millionaire Horace McCune, who’s bankrolling a smear campaign against Ted Macklin’s reelection as sheriff. 

With only weeks to go until the election, Larry and his father are suddenly suspects in a murder investigation.  And if that isn’t enough to worry about, Larry also has to contend with his eccentric future in-laws, who are camped out in his front yard and discussing pagan marriage rituals. 

The list of people with a motive to kill McCune is long… and getting longer.  The pressure is on to find the murderer before the election… or everyone just might be out of a job.
