The Blue Horse

Book Three Coming July 8th!

The federal government’s efforts to round up Nevada’s wild horses with helicopters have sparked fierce debate. On a frigid fall morning, Sheriff Porter Beck witnesses the unthinkable—a chopper shot out of the sky. Is it the work of wild horse advocates or something far more sinister?

As COVID sweeps across Lincoln County, leaving Beck’s department stretched thin, Beck must sift through layers of lies and hidden agendas.

A gripping tale of murder, mystery, and the fight to protect Nevada’s untamed wilderness.

Book Two

Even sparsely populated Lincoln County isn’t protected from illegal fentanyl, its victims normal, hardworking people who believe they’re buying much needed pain relief. But these fatal overdoses have Porter Beck and his team chasing phantom dealers hidden by the Dark Web. In desperation, he finds help in the form of a sixteen-year-old juvenile delinquent, a girl who is not at all what she appears to be and who may be the reason behind some high-level government hacking. Together, they will encounter a vicious drug cartel and the ruthless intelligence operatives of one of America’s greatest enemies.

The suspense is non-stop in this second installment of the Porter Beck mystery series, where the biggest mystery of all may be: Who is Mercy Vaughn and what is she capable of?

The Bitter Past

The Bitter Past

Book One

Porter Beck has worked in the shadows before—in another life when he could still see in the dark. But the Nevada sheriff is battling night blindness now and searching for a Russian assassin who’s killing old men in the high desert north of Las Vegas.

When an ex-FBI agent is tortured and killed, Beck is mystified, not by the gruesome scene in his normally quiet county but by the clues that point to the dawn of America’s atomic age and a secret test to see what would happen if deadly plutonium was “accidentally” released in the environment. To catch the killer, he must first find the KGB spy who came to steal America’s atomic secrets sixty years earlier, who now lives closer than he could possibly know, and unravel the truth about the world’s first dirty bomb, two things the U.S. Government cannot afford to have revealed. As the body count climbs, so do the stakes for him and those he loves, especially when an alluring federal agent makes it impossible to know who to trust.
