Genre: Mystery
Book 1 – The Drum Within
Santa Fe detective Denise Aragon must outsmart and outrun corrupt lawyers and judges to stop a celebrity artist who kills for his supplies. The latest victim is the wife of a man she hates: the cold-hearted criminal lawyer, Walter Fager. For the first time in his life he wants the police to succeed. But his twisted protégé, Marcy Thornton, gleefully defends the killer using maneuvers Fager never imagined. Aragon pits lawyer against lawyer to keep her case on life support and enlists the FBI to bypass a state judge trading rulings for Thornton’s sexual favors. The lead FBI agent reminds Aragon too much of the dead boyfriend who haunts her dreams. He wants romance. She can’t handle it.
Aragon badly misjudges Fager’s grief and Thornton’s power. The killing ends. But not the way she planned.
Book 2 – Compromised
Detective Denise Aragon can’t trust her witness, the one who hasn’t been killed yet. She can’t trust Judge Judy Diaz and her sociopathic attorney girlfriend. She can’t trust her FBI agent lover, but she’s going to take a bullet for him anyway.
While Aragon struggles, the secret patrón who rules Santa Fe’s south side and his bloodthirsty twin brother are compromising everybody to cash out a fraudulent, multi-million dollar verdict. Blackmail or assassination, it makes no difference. They want their money fast.
Continuing the story that began with The Drum Within—heralded as "a masterpiece" by #1 New York Times bestselling author Robert Dugoni—Compromised is a tour de force of suspenseful storytelling.
