NEWLY REISSUED, WITH NEW COVER ART!
Fifteen years ago, NYPD officer Joseph McSwain, was gunned down while trying to stop a robbery. His murder was never solved. Until now.
For his son, Hell's Kitchen private detective Jimmy McSwain, his father's death has defined him, defied him, and denied him his chance at happiness. But the shooting death of a young officer named Denson Luke has re-ignited the investigation into the mysterious Blue Death conspiracy. Jimmy still must earn a living, so he cannot ignore a family in distress. New neighbors Carmen Ramirez and her young son, Sonny are clearly running from danger. Overnight, their case becomes one involving a missing father, a Chinese crime syndicate, and an abduction which threatens to overwhelm Jimmy's mission of solving his father's case. His relationship status with Frank Frisano on and off again, Jimmy tries to do double duty, jeopardizing his own safety. It's only when another murder occurs that Jimmy finally finds the path that has eluded him. His investigation finally leads him back home, where a devastating family secret overshadows all he's learned, and the cost to the McSwain family may never be repaid. Jimmy realizes the blood on his hands will forever haunt him.

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.
