1. Breakfast at Madeline’s (1999)
Jacob Burns, husband, father, and frustrated writer, has finally sold a screenplay. But success isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Now he has writer’s block, and he spends his days drinking coffee in his favorite cafe, Madeline’s. That is, until one warm summer morning when Donald Penn, an eccentric Madeline’s regular, hands Jacob a key and drops dead at his feet. The key is to a safe deposit box, whose contents seem innocent enough—until Jacob’s home is burglarized and his family threatened. Now Jacob is involved in a puzzling mystery that will expose him to some of the finest families in Saratoga Springs, New York—and some of the worst in human behavior. But to find a killer, Jacob first must prove that a murder has occurred.
2. Grand Delusion (2000)
Writer Jacob Burns is getting used to the good life—money in the bank, a screenplay in production, and a loving family at home—he’s never been happier. Except for the fact that his drug-dealing neighbors’ rowdy antics keep him up all night. Residents of Saratoga Springs’ West Side have been trying to clean up their down-and-dirty neighborhood, and Jacob’s been doing his share, battling a powerful landlord who’s notorious for his brutish behavior. But when his nemesis is shot dead, Jacob’s the prime suspect—and he begins to search for the real culprit. He finds that the murdered landlord had a very unethical arrangement with his tenants—and that many people had reason to want him dead. Jacob’s getting close to the truth, but he has to stay one step ahead of the law—because he’s been framed for another murder…
3. Strange Bedfellows (2000)
Jacob Burns is a loving husband, devoted father, and work-at-home writer. And he’s about to be saddled with a whole new profession—campaign manager. Jacob’s old college roomie, Will, "With a name like this," Shmuckler, is in a tough race for Congress against a perennial local favorite, and he wants Jacob to help him win. But the race is cut short when their opponent is shot dead, and Shmuckler is arrested for the crime.
4. The Killing Bee (2001)
When writer and stay-at-home dad Jacob Burns arrives at his son’s school to a chorus of battle cries, he thinks—for one nostalgic, bittersweet second—that he’s gone back in time to the ’60s. But no. There’s no riot going on—just a bunch of bored, brainy kids. One stubborn, set-in-his-ways principal. And a whole lot of very angry parents. Jacob and his fellow comrades have been lobbying for a gifted and talented program that will offer their precocious progeny some semblance of challenge. But the principal is the worst of all possible enemies—he’s a paper pusher, a red-tape supporter—a bureaucrat. And when he’s brained to death with a spelling bee trophy, Jacob starts to wonder if someone’s taken this revolution thing just a little too far.
