web of deceit that threatens to overwhelm him.
Torn between his duty as a detective and his responsibilities to his own family, Rigby struggles to balance the demands made on him as he pushes himself to the limit to bring a sense of closure to the victim’s family. But as the days tick down to Christmas and the emotional toll of the case becomes evident, Rigby must decide whether his relentless pursuit of truth is worth the personal cost.
Book #4
A missing pregnant woman. A distraught father-to-be. A
desperate plea for help.
Days away from becoming a father, Detective Paul Rigby is
already on edge about the birth. The last thing he needs is to be involved in
an investigation into a missing pregnant woman. But with the woman being a
friend of his girlfriend, and a personal plea for help from the woman’s
husband, it’s not a case he can turn down–despite the warning from his boss.
But as the initial investigation raises more questions than
answers and the case takes an unexpected twist, the lines between personal and
professional start to blur and Rigby’s determination to bring the case to a
close becomes almost an obsession.
An obsession which could cost him dearly.
Book #3
Dark-haired
and medium-build. That's all the police have to go on in their hunt for the
perpetrator of a brutal attack at one of Lewisville County's popular
recreational spots.
Joggers
on the trail at the time offer them more detail about a solitary runner who fit
that description but none knew his name. And the police want to keep it that
way. Because the man they're describing appears to be one of their own,
Detective Paul Rigby.
Forced
to step aside, Rigby is supposed to let his colleagues clear him from
suspicion. But Rigby's never been good at stepping aside, especially when it's
his future on the line. And now, with a pregnant girlfriend and impending
fatherhood, the stakes are higher than ever and he can't be sure all his
colleagues believe in his innocence.
A boss near death's door. A rash of serious cases. Can Detective Rigby rise to the challenge?
Never the most popular person in the Lewisville Police Department, he finds himself in charge after his mentor, Police Chief Jim Pearson, is involved in an accident.
All Rigby
wants to do is track down the hit-and-run driver, but when Lewisville is rocked
by two other major cases in one day, he discovers running the department is a
lot more complicated than Pearson makes it look.
Now he
has to put aside his go-it-alone attitude and trust his colleagues - many of
whom he fears would be happy to see him fail - or risk letting down the one
person who's always had his back. But old habits die hard.
Detective Paul Rigby’s role in his girlfriend’s death has haunted him since that tragic event almost one year ago. With his dreams of marriage and a family already destroyed, Rigby’s guilt now threatens to sabotage the one thing left to him: his once-promising career.
That career would already be in ruins without the intervention of Chief of Police Jim Pearson, but as the anniversary approaches Rigby finds himself increasingly at odds with his mentor.
Demoted to desk duty following a violent confrontation with a colleague, Rigby
must prove he is still worthy of Pearson's trust. A manpower crisis within the
department offers him a chance of redemption but as repercussions from his
punch-up spiral out of control, it seems not everyone wants him to succeed.

A missing woman. A businessman who knows more than he is prepared to admit. But keeping secrets can be as dangerous as telling a lie.
Relocation
to small-town Leyton was supposed to help heal the wounds in Cal Miller's
marriage but when detectives turn up at his home investigating the whereabouts
of his young assistant Katy the fall-out threatens to tear them open again.
With
not only his marriage but also his business reputation at stake, Cal has good
reason to keep quiet, or so he thinks until he discovers the depth of Katy's
deceptions and the police focus in on him as their prime suspect. With the
whole town seemingly turning against him he has to find some way of proving his
innocence, but how can he persuade them he's telling the truth when he's
already been caught out in a lie?
It was a conversation Maggie Cumberland wasn’t supposed to hear. A conversation that rips apart her comfortable, suburban life, leads her to betray the one person she has always depended on and forces her from the security of her once happy home.
Fearful of retribution after telling police that her husband Daniel might be involved in human trafficking, Maggie must find the courage and resourcefulness necessary to stay one step ahead of her enemies without the help of either family or friends. But who are her enemies?
Maggie has no idea, only the knowledge that if she wants to stay alive she
can’t afford to trust anyone.
It was supposed to be a family vacation in paradise.
Instead, Jake Cornish finds himself in a world far removed from his comfortable expatriate life and at the mercy of brutal kidnappers.
His only hope for survival lies with his wife somehow coming up with the ransom. But he'd stormed out on her only minutes before being kidnapped and he faces the possibility that the last argument was one too many and may have sealed his fate.
Then his captors come up with an outrageous new demand, one that would have devastating consequences if he agrees to it, but that will also cause cracks in the unity, lay bare ulterior motives, and reveal the true nature of the kidnappers themselves.
For over three years kidnap victim Jake Cornish has struggled to put the memories of his ordeal in the Philippines behind him. Not even his wife Beth knows the full truth and he wants to keep it that way.
However, on their first family vacation since returning to the US, a chance sighting of one of his kidnappers inflame his need for closure. When attempts to learn more about his kidnappers' new lives coincide with a brutal attack on their family, Jake becomes entangled in the ensuing police investigation.
Now, not only have his actions jeopardized his marriage but if his secret is revealed he will hand the police the one piece of information they are missing—a motive for revenge.
