NEWLY REISSUED, WITH NEW COVER ART!
The dual forces of good and evil take center stage in this, the fourth installment in the Jimmy McSwain Files, one that finds the tortured, sexy detective battling an unforeseen enemy: happiness. Yet murder will soon rear its desperate chill, hurtling Jimmy into the highest society and the lowest of lives.
Winter is nearly upon Manhattan, the holidays right around the corner. Jimmy is hired to escort the infamous tabloid favorite Serena Carson to a charity benefit, intent on guarding her from an abusive ex. Yet the job takes a brutal turn as Henderson Carlyle, the privileged, spoiled lothario, is found sliced to death outside of Serena’s brownstone. The cops warn Jimmy away from the case, including his former lover, Captain Francis X. Frisano. Jimmy has his hands full anyway, as his visiting cousin Kellan was found beaten by one-time family friend, Mickey Dean, a Hell’s Kitchen thug with a dark past and even darker threat. As the snow falls and answers remain buried, Jimmy finds himself thrown into the midst of two conflicting cases, one of which will expose a dormant clue to the long-unsolved murder of his NYPD cop, Joseph McSwain. Complicating matters is a new man in Jimmy’s life, who promises Jimmy security and safety, neither word easy for him to accept. When fate sends Jimmy’s world into turmoil, he realizes there’s a devil at work in a season usually owned by angels.

AUTHOR’S NOTE:
I am pleased to return to print!
After my initial publisher ceased operations, all rights were reverted to me.
Fortunately, I found a new home with JMS Books, and they have reissued all of the Jimmy McSwain Files. The all have new covers: HIDDEN IDENTITY, CRIME WAVE, STAGE FRIGHT, GUARDIAN ANGEL, FOREVER HAUNT, FRESH KILL, and SECOND SHOT.
And finally, this year I finished the eighth book in the series, FALSE JUSTICE, which JMS released this fall, first in eBook, with a paperback edition coming soon.
For fans of the series, I hope you’ll find FALSE JUSTICE a satisfying continuation of the series. For new readers, I recommend that you read the books in order to get the full effect of the ongoing story of Jimmy and all the supporting characters.
Also newly reissued is my “Cane’s Inlet Mystery” series: SCANDLOUS LIES, SINISTER MOTIVES, and SUSPICIOUS TRUTHS. Again, best read in order. Books 1 and 2 end on cliffhangers, with a resolution at the end of Book 3. It’s a good old-fashioned soap opera, with a sexy and mysterious edge.
There are new projects in the works, including a forthcoming novella called COMING/ARRIVAL, featuring Johnny Lee Capstone, of my DUDE RANCH series.
There’s a collaboration with another author, which will feature Jimmy McSwain and another character named Todd Gleason. More info on JERSEY SCORE soon!
Then it’s time to continue writing PERFECT DEATH, the 9th book in The Jimmy McSwain Files.
Happy reading, and thanks for the continued support.
