How will she stop the murder of millions?
A sinister global order terror group plots to destroy the U.S. economy. Business leaders must comply with extreme demands or face deadly consequences.
Heir to his family's fortune, Jack McCabe learns of his parents' suspicious demise on the ski slopes of Austria. Then he discovers the cold body of his friend. Jack soon realizes that he is among those who've been targeted.
Expanding their evil, the terrorists devise a scheme that threatens humanity. Italian Interpol officer Kara Sterrio is a member of the team that searches for the enemy throughout Europe. It's a race against time to end this horror before it can be realized.
If you crave page-turning mystery and crime fiction with unexpected plot twists, this novel will grip you to its exciting conclusion.
Potawatomi Indian descendants remain in the Lake Maxinkuckee area. Legal testimony from one of them sends a murderer to prison. Cronies of this criminal now seek lethal revenge.
The lake is also the vacation home of Jack McCabe who becomes the unexpected heir to a pharmaceutical company and its highly coveted drug.
A blackmail scheme by a former employee soon threatens the loss of the drug's formula. This extortion plot leads Interpol on a search for the thief along the French Riviera.
The New Global Order has been nearly decimated, but three members are still at large. Interpol is intent on completing its mission and sends battle-tested teams to hunt down an illegal arms dealer near Budapest, a heroin trafficker in Naples, and a renowned jewel thief from Amsterdam.
Two sisters have disappeared. Their frantic parents seek answers.
The father of the missing teens was the judge in Hugo DeMann's murder trial. Criminals may still hold a grudge against him for their crony’s life sentence. Could they be behind the girls’ mysterious disappearance? Are they involved in some cruel obsession?
When the investigation moves to Europe in search of the girls, Interpol discovers a nefarious neo-Nazi organization in Berlin behind the kidnapping.
Intel from the CIA leads the team of investigators to the masterminds, who are producing radioactive bombs targeted for Israel. The suspected Nazi sympathizers involved in this dangerous scheme must be stopped before their lethal weapons are delivered to the hands of Middle Eastern terrorists.
Can Anyone Control the Beautiful Villain and Her Murderous Ways?
Readers recall the madman Adamis Baum who planned to annihilate billions of people by dispersing an Ebola Zaire virus into the world’s water.
To protect his faithful from the deadly virus, Baum forced a hostile takeover of a Boston pharmaceutical company. Its drug offered phenomenal healing powers – even as a cure for the Ebola virus.
In an ironic twist of fate, American Jack McCabe turned out to be the closest living relative to the slain Baum and inherited his biotech company.
When McCabe submits his drug for FDA trials, a consortium of pharmaceutical companies lashes out to stop this new competitor. Along with murderers and kidnappers, the pharmas have two unscrupulous senators in their pocket.
Diamond thieves
are ready to strike. Who will escape with the ultimate prize?
The criminals will hit major European cities in a brilliantly timed and orchestrated plot. Interpol must track them down before they attack.
The target? Some of the world’s most prestigious jewelry stores, including Tiffany’s and Harry Winston’s. And annual events such as the Cannes Film Festival and the Paris Fashion Show. Diamond jewelry usually adorns movie stars and top models at these celebrations. If the criminals have their way, the diamonds will disappear.
One of the bold bandits has his eye on the most famous gem in the world: the Hope Diamond. This 45-carat blue stone, surrounded by white diamonds, is valued at $245 million.
But this stunning gemstone comes with a curse. Is the thief willing to risk everything to steal this legendary treasure?

Missing Memories takes you on an emotional roller coaster ride you’ll never forget.
Prior to the McCabes’ marriage, Jack discovered a letter from his grandfather. In it, he learned about his parents’ skiing trip to Austria where they mysteriously died. Stunned by this revelation, he and Sara flew to Innsbruck to investigate.
The cold-case files had been sealed at a local police station. When the couple opened the documents, they discovered the gondola cables had been hit by long-range rifle bullets. His parents plunged to the rocky terrain below, instantly ending their lives.
Seventeen years later, Sara surprised Jack with an amazing birthday gift. She arranged a family skiing trip to the Alps. Jack was thrilled. But he tried to bury the brutal memories of his parents’ murders.
Could something sinister occur to Jack's family again?
