Series One • Psychological Thriller

1. The Blackstone Files

A taut psychological thriller series following forensic psychologist Mara Ellison as she consults on cases that blur the line between victim and villain. Each book uncovers a new seemingly isolated crime—missing persons, staged accidents, false confessions—but beneath the surface lies a larger pattern of manipulation, memory distortion, and hidden trauma. As Mara digs deeper, she begins to suspect the killer is choosing targets connected by a secret she has spent years trying to bury, turning every investigation into a battle between truth, guilt, and survival.

Series Two • Police Procedural

2. Harbor Unit 7

A gritty police procedural / crime series centered on Detectives Jonah Reed and Lila Navarro, two partners in a coastal city’s homicide division where corruption runs as deep as the docks. Each novel tracks a new investigation—from gang executions to domestic murders and high-profile kidnappings—while also building an overarching arc about a long-running conspiracy inside the department. Balancing methodical detective work, tense interrogations, and personal stakes, the series combines relentless pacing with the slow unraveling of a city that may be protecting its worst secrets.
