jerk: A Taggart Mcgill mystery
Taggart and Cassie are eager to put last summer’s tragic events behind them and the start of college is just the ticket, but it is proving to be easier said than done.
University life is certainly an adjustment, though maybe not in the same way. Taggart is enjoying the stimulating and mind-expanding fruits of the academic world at Truman University, but Cassie is finding the changes to be overwhelming and worries that her boyfriend is drifting away now that he is less dependent on her.
The discovery of a body hanging inside Taggart’s apartment, an apparent suicide, shatters their quiet reality. Taggart becomes the prime focus of the lead detective when evidence that the victim plagiarized Taggart’s old papers is uncovered. When a second hanging victim is found—someone who expressed displeasure with Taggart—nerves on campus fray, and the speculation about Taggart’s involvement deepens. The campus goes into a full lockdown following a third suicide, worrying that a triggering environment has developed at the university.
Could the string of deaths be part of a larger problem at Truman, or is this the work of something—or someone—more sinister? Once again, Taggart and Cassie are caught in the middle, and their luck may have run out this time.

PRICK: A Taggart Mcgill mystery
People are dying under mysterious circumstances in the small town of New Haven. And the city’s best hope of uncovering the truth rests with a troubled teen and the girl who can’t stand him.
Cassie Underwood’s life is shattered when her younger sister dies in a freak car accident. In her grief, Cassie unfairly blames her sister’s constant companion—Taggart McGill—a boy with a sketchy past and abrasive personality. As Cassie attempts to recover from the loss, she struggles to honor her late-sister’s memory by befriending the person she resents most.
Things get complicated when Cassie overhears a fellow student asking Taggart to convince the police another death in the accident had nothing to do with the crash at all. Taggart surprisingly agrees and a suspicious Cassie decides to accompany him in his snooping. She soon learns everything she knows about Taggart is wrong… and he has insight into things that link the car accident to other suspicious deaths in their close-knit community.
Is Taggart McGill the “prick” everyone says he is, or will uncovering his secrets be the key that keeps Cassie’s name off the mounting list of victims?

Fallen Knight
DL Hammons continues the saga of the silent sleuths in FALLEN KNIGHT – the prefect mashup of The Camel Club and The Goonies.
An elusive killer has been recreating and improving crimes from long-forgotten headlines. The FBI finally uncovers the surprising identity of the suspect – a disturbed high school student – but only after he has taken his own life while committing a terrible crime. Unfortunately, the threat doesn’t end there. The boy left behind a note announcing his pre-arranged scheme to unleash one final “improvement” – minus the crucial details of where, when, or how.
Eighteen months ago, Lee Hamilton and his five middle-aged companions (nick-named the Knights Who Say Ni), crossed paths with Dianne Williams, a feisty private investigator examining a decades-old murder. Together they would solve the crime and see justice done. That chance encounter would be the beginning of a rather unique collaboration… and friendship.
When Dianne’s newest investigator, who is also a Knight, is attached after returning home from a routine investigation, Lee and the others take matters into their own hands to find the person responsible. The trail leads inexplicably to the doorstep of a dead teenager blamed for a mass shooting and a swarm of FBI agents investigating it. Little do they know they’ve become part of a race against time to stop the single largest bioterrorism attack in US history.
