Chig Ashe Thrillers

Cold, Dark and Silent

There are three essential motives for murder: power, money, and love gone wrong. The disappearance of Georgia Murphy combines all three.

Her case has been cold for two years, and powerful townspeople want to keep it that way. They can’t afford a scandal in the rural town, not when new industrial development is set to line their pockets. As former detective “Chig” Ashe soon discovers, probing into Georgia’s case will destroy any hope of a peaceful retirement in his hometown. Even the woman he falls in love with seems to have her hands deep into the town’s misinformation campaign, and in the violent and deadly attempts to keep him from exposing their secret.

The Blockade Runners

A private society made up of local political and business leaders has kept its small town secrets secure for nearly a hundred years—until the body of a man in an expensive suit washes up on the lake shore.

Retired Detective “Chig” Ashe is asked to assist in the investigation, and quickly gets himself entangled deeper and deeper into a widening conspiracy. He must quickly unravel the connection between the homicide on the lake, the disappearance of a local children’s shelter caretaker, and the secret society of political elites—all while dodging the impatient eye of a professional killer.

The Elite Watch

Ashe swore he’d put Arthur North in the ground—or die trying.

Now the retired criminal investigator is heading back to the city he left behind, trading the quiet of his hometown for the abandoned factories, dark alleys, and unfinished business with a man who should already be dead.

Arthur North isn’t just another fugitive. He’s a phantom intelligence operative and trained assassin. Months ago Ashe shot him, but North escaped. Since then, every step in pursuit feels like a duel with a ghost.

Evidence points one way, then turns against him. People he trusts aren’t who they seem. Torn between his lifelong dedication to justice, and a primal rage calling out for revenge, this one is personal. Because keeping his promise may cost him everything.

The Elite Watch is a gripping Chig Ashe thriller about obsession, sacrifice, and the price of chasing an enemy who never forgives—and never forgets.
