The Blake Cutter Detective Series

Decorated Miami PD Detective Blake Cutter’s wife is killed in a car bomb intended for him. His obsession with tracking down his wife’s killer leads him into a tangled web of intrigue and deceit. 

After his wife’s murder, Cutter is transferred to a regional FBI department in the small town of Bullet, Georgia, in hopes this rehabilitative assignment will help him emotionally recover so he can return to Miami to hunt for his wife’s killer. 

While working in Bullet as a federal agent, he is assigned to investigate a seemingly unrelated murder of real estate investor Phillip Drummond, who died in a mysterious drowning. During his investigation, he encounters a seductive woman named Penelope Lane, who is the spitting image of his late wife Jenni. She becomes one of several suspects with motive and connection to the real estate investor’s murder.

Days later, Drummond wife’s Dorothy is also discovered murdered in the family estate house. As the investigation closes in on Penelope as a prime suspect in the killings, she plans a seductive plot to throw Cutter off her tracks. His secret liaison with Penelope leads him to compromising actions that could jeopardize his law enforcement career. 

The novel concludes as Cutter finally resist her seductive attempts and closes in on her for an impending arrest. When she discovers Cutter snooping around in her apartment, she confronts him, takes him hostage at gunpoint, and leads him to the roof of her apartment building. As a police helicopter approaches, she accidentally falls from the roof, and is later hospitalized under police custody.
