THE EVAN BUCKLEY THRILLERS

PRIVATE-EYE Evan Buckley’s wife went to work one day and didn’t come home. He hasn’t ever stopped looking for her. Tormented by demons, consumed by his unrelenting quest for the truth, he loses himself in other people’s problems.

The only thing that’s certain is that Evan’s role in life is to get caught in every maniac’s crosshairs while his own past comes snapping at his heels.

BAD CALL – A PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER
Ralph da Silva has screwed up. Big time.
He’s had four Tequilas too many for lunch and now he thinks he might have killed somebody — somebody important. Somebody with some very unpleasant friends. The question is, can he get himself out of the country before they strap him to a chair and get the electrodes out . . .
One thing is certain — he can’t afford to make another bad call.

“I can safely say “Bad Call” provides more suspense and perverse enjoyment in 70 pages than most novels five times that long.”
