A Sharp Medicine– The fifth in the Zack Taylor series.

Zack Taylor’s life is once again in shambles. Having narrowly escaped death, guilty over the pain he’s caused a loved one, he’s hurting and angry. When looking into the disappearance of a reporter, Zack’s death wish may be his cure for his troubles as he uncovers corruption and evil in a world of politics, passion, and power.

All The Crooked Paths– All three 5-story collections in the Crooked Paths series of crime and mystery– combined into one book.

The entire collection of three books: Crooked Paths, More Crooked Paths, and The Last Crooked Paths. Five stories each of mystery and crime, dark chronicles of those who walk a crooked path, and so very often pay a terrible price for what they do.

The Last Crooked Paths– The final 5-story collection in the Crooked Paths series of crime and mystery.

Here are five more tales of crime and mystery, telling of those who walk crooked paths and pay the price for it. Here are crooks and cops, killers and victims, and those who walk the line between good and evil. Take a few short trips down the darker side of life, where crime can be a casual or planned event. This set of stories shows people on the run, and police and ordinary citizens solving crimes. Sometimes the perpetrator gets away, but so often people pay for their deeds.
