The Fortune Teller's Daughter
Laura Merino has spent her life running from the women in her family — the ones who see things before they happen. Then a senator's daughter vanishes from a Pacific coast highway, and Detective Lindsay Carter needs a psychic she doesn't believe in.
Dark Granny
Granny had secrets. Some of them could get you killed.A
When homicide detective Lindsay Carter heads to Paso Robles to clean out her grandmother's hoarder house, she expects junk.
She finds diamonds. And hidden cash. And evidence of crimes that stretch back decades. And elderly witnesses who are dying — some naturally, some not — before they can tell everything they know.
Betty Switzer was nobody's sweet old granny. She was a thief, a liar, and a keeper of secrets that could shake Lindsay's entire family to its core.
At the same time, Lindsay's day job is shoving her up against every parent's worst nightmare: missing girls, online predators, and families willing to sacrifice their own children for money. The cases collide in ways she never sees coming, forcing her to ask how far she's willing to go — off the books and against the rules — to protect the living and drag the truth about her grandmother into the light.
A powerful Midwest family will do anything to keep their secrets buried. A polished businessman with a spotless reputation may be a killer who's gotten away with murder for decades. Witnesses start turning up dead. A hired watcher parks outside Lindsay's quiet Calabasas home, just waiting for orders.
The deeper Lindsay digs, the more dangerous the past becomes. And the killer who wants Betty's secrets buried isn't done yet.

Farmhouse Forgotten
When a slaughtered family becomes a closed file, someone has to go back to the house they all tried to forget.
A quiet farmhouse. A slaughtered couple. Two missing little girls — and a baby left crying in his crib.
In 1977, a remote Central California farm becomes the scene of a brutal attack that shocks a small town and hardens into local legend: a drug hit gone wrong, the children presumed dead, the case boxed and forgotten.
Nearly thirty years later, that baby is Jeremy, a man with more questions than memories. When he discovers that one sister was never found — no body, no answers — he becomes obsessed with the idea that she may still be alive under another name. His search leads straight to Tracy McCarthy, a world-famous beach volleyball star with the right age, the right face, and an unsettling resemblance to the sister he lost.
Terrified by Jeremy's letters and sudden appearance at a tournament, Tracy hires private investigator Lindsay Carter, a former homicide cop juggling motherhood with a restless need to be back in the game. Lindsay expects a simple stalker case. Instead, she's pulled into a cold double murder with missing children, a burned-out farmhouse soaked in old blood, and a powerful farm clan determined to keep the past buried.
The deeper Lindsay digs, the more she finds sloppy assumptions, missing evidence, and a conviction that may have put the wrong man behind bars while the real conspirators walked free. Old witnesses start to talk — and then start to die.
To uncover what really happened in that farmhouse, Lindsay must link a blood-soaked night in the country to the glittering world of celebrity sports, before someone decides this case needs to stay forgotten for good.
Bad Lie
He won the Masters. Someone still wants him dead.
Pro golfer Davis Stansbury III has the swing every kid dreams about — and the gambling habit no sponsor can ever see.
When a smoky back-room poker game leaves him owing six figures to a man named Rizzo, Davis thinks a win at the Masters will buy his way out.
He wins. He pays. Someone still wants him dead.
In Calabasas, sports-agent-turned-fixer Jeff Carter spots a dangerous overlap: his golden-boy client, a ruthless back-room bookie, and a billion-dollar cloud company called NimbusCore, built on "trust" and other people's secrets. When an internal whistleblower at NimbusCore turns up dead in an apparent suicide, Jeff calls the only investigator he trusts more than his own instincts — his wife, PI Lindsay Carter.
With her research partner Boyd Parker, a retired character actor and gun collector, Lindsay steps into a world where high-stakes golf, shadowy gambling rooms, and a powerful tech founder all share the same off-books enforcer.
To save Davis's life and stop a killer, Lindsay and Boyd will have to follow the money through the rough, outplay a man who treats murder like damage control, and decide how far they're willing to go when "playing it as it lies" could get them buried.
