Genre: Mystery, Crime
Earth Angels
Detective Sergeant Jose Stepanovich and his elite tactical team were the toughest cops in the Los Angeles police force, handed the toughest jobs, like going up against the city’s most vicious criminal element – the street gangs of East L.A. But somewhere along the lines the cops broke a few rules, turning a job into a personal vendetta, and suddenly it wasn’t only the gangs they were fighting.
Paramour
A suicide is discovered in a top-secret White House file room. Rumors of a dangerous threat to the president have spread, and Secret Service agent Jack Powers is assigned to keep the brewing crises from the press. But death is just the tip of the iceberg–espionage is suspected of a beautiful woman who just may be the President’s mistress. Acting on presidential orders, Powers follows a twisting trail that leads from the inner circle of the Oval Office to the outer fringes of international terrorism. But suddenly he finds himself trapped in a labyrinth of the deceit, murder, and betrayal that can destroy him at any moment.
Shakedown
As a former Secret Service agent, Gerald Petievich brings to fiction the genuine, gritty authority of the insider. In Shakedown, his latest novel, he explores the sinister underworld of Las Vegas, where prostitutes, informers, hitmen and hustlers mix in the neon glare. One of its denizens is Eddie Sands, ex-con, a shakedown artist whose one weakness is that he’s in love with a beautiful girl who happens to be a con artist supreme herself.
When Eddie decides to shake down a famous Hollywood star whose sex life could ruin his screen career, he sets off a chain of events that leads straight to the white-hot center of crime and punishment in Vegas, and brings down on himself the attentions of Tony Parisi, the mob’s kingpin in Las Vegas, and FBI agent John Novak, a disillusioned law enforcement officer with bulldog tenacity.
Layer by layer Novak uncovers a plot which takes him to the highest level of law enforcement, even to the steps of the White House itself, as he gradually becomes aware that his own superiors may be betraying him and that his own career, even his life may be at stake.
The Sentinel
A White House Secret Service agent specializing in electronic surveillance has been blown away by a masked gunman. The Aryan Disciples, a neo-Nazi group, has taken credit. Secret Service Special Agent Pete Garrison fears it’s more than a warning shot delivered by extremists. His first lead is an informant who claims that the Aryans have positioned one of their own in the White House. But it’s the second lead that carries the most shattering and personal implications-a blackmailer who knows of Garrison’s affair with the First Lady. He has the photos to prove it. Evidence that would frame Garrison with the perfect motive for murder. Garrison’s last desperate option: infiltrate the President’s most powerful and intimate circles of defense. . .and outguess a killer’s next move. The book was made into a major motion picture with Michael Douglas, Kiefer Sutherland and Eva Longoria.
To Live and Die in L.A.
Two U.S. Treasury agents, partners and antagonists, are drawn into a matrix of violence and corruption, southern California-style, that becomes a journey through a sunlit hell – at the end of which they become experts on the thin line between what it takes to live – and die – in L.A.
