1. The Devil’s Templar
In this chilling novel, when an innocent altar boy is convicted of assault, he’s sent to prison, while the bishop sends the guilty pastor to a new parish. Ten years later Richie Lomax is free. He’s become what the law ordains he should: a psychopathic serial killer.
Now ‘The Devil’s Templar’ vows to use the gruesome skills Richie picked up in prison, to satisfy his thirst for vengeance. ‘Non sibi sed omnibus,’ not just for him but for all.
After an accident took Ryder McGraw’s wife and daughter, the former Atlanta cop hit the bottle and lost his job. He’s a small town sheriff now and antsy…until he finds a hideously murdered priest in a cottage, on Sky Lake. It’s a chance to shake his past and Ryder takes it, anxiously nosing down a trail littered with blood stained Roman collars and innocent consequences.
Meanwhile, Richie’s creeping into the sheriff’s head, warmly acknowledging Ryder’s personal tragedy and purposely leaving him clues at crime scenes. Truth is, he likes Ryder because he’s smart and wouldn’t bother playing with him if he wasn’t. While he’s at it, Richie gives Ryder fits when he cunningly plants a life saving code in the archive of the archdiocese library. Always a step ahead of him, Ryder fears Richie’s manipulating control, and begins to doubt himself. All the while, guilty and innocent bodies keep showing up.
Richie’s charm, dazzling gap toothed smile, and a precocious gift for poetry and Latin liturgical phrases, will get him in the rectory. After which, he’ll dish out an ungodly penance. Richie’s calling card and tool of trade? ‘A demonic scapular and a gleaming chisel-point hammer.’
It’s a fascinating game of wits…But one wrong move…and somebody dies.
2. Der Ewigen Brotherhood
Two young lover’s fooling around in their boat, snag something horrifying. It isn’t a fish. The grim fragments strewn within the soggy bundle, are mysteriously connected to a WWII labor camp. But before Sheriff Ryder McGraw figures that out, he needs to know why they’re here—in Sky Lake.
Decades earlier, a Polish Jew was liberated from notorious Birkenau, unfortunately, his family wasn’t as lucky. So, Ben Kinsky pledges to find those responsible— to get even. Unfortunately, before he fulfills that promise, he dies unexpectedly. However, the bitter legacy he leaves his son, is filled with what he was up to, along with information about a group of anonymous neo-fascists living the high life in the Americas… An elite secret society dedicated to re-awakening yet another… Reich. A fourth version dreamt up by wealthy businessmen yearning for something only money can buy: a new world order ruled by oligarchs… them. This twisted idea for a new Führerprinzip wets Abe’s appetite, and nothing less than total ‘extermination’ will satisfy his hunger for retribution.
Armed with gruesome hand me down skills, the son begins where his father left off, avenging those poor souls who never got the chance Ben did: escape from the infamous Nazi ovens. Continuing his father’s mission that began in London, Abe sets his sights on members of ‘The Ewigen Brotherhood’; especially targeting, traitorous Mischling swine… closeted Jews posing as Nazis. His calling will take him from high atop Mount Pilus, in Lucerne Switzerland, down to the sandy shores of Lake Michigan. However, no matter where he’s been, somebody’s sure to find another sopping bundle of sweets: A chilling reminder of what awaits the rest of the Brotherhood.
Atlanta detective Ryder McGraw lost his family in a mysterious accident and fell on rough times. Fortunately, he found a new life in Sky Lake: a Michigan resort he put on the map after his first case there scored headlines. Unfortunately, after putting that dangerous serial killer away, Richie Lomax escaped. The legal system failed Ryder—and Richie’s victims too. However, if the sheriff can unravel the mystery behind the soggy bundle, he’ll get his chance at redemption.
Like Richie, Abe’s an avenger too, but instead of torturing and murdering pedophile priests, he’s out tracking and terrorizing a dangerous international cult. Unlike him though, Abe lacks Richie’s charisma and witty Latin liturgy; replacing it, instead, with a genius for spectacular presentation.
Ryder needs help and gets it from a one-time CIA agent turned custodian. The janitor, Phil Bowers, is still sloshing up floors in the Toledo arch-dioceses offices, wearing a pair of his shiny black wing-tip shoes. Things begin coming together for the partners, until they come up against a brassy widow—and then it gets better. A sexy blond, Maggie Brandt’s hiding nasty secrets she’d rather keep hidden under her fashionable derriere. Something fishy’s going on that will tie her family to whatever it was her handsome hired hand Huey, and his adorable little tart Linda, fished out of the Lake.
