    About this series

    Desperate to put some distance between herself and New York City and to recover from a freak bicycle crash, NYPD Detective Alex Sullivan flees to Albuquerque. As soon as the wheels of her plane touch down, the bodies begin to drop.

    Far from the sanctuary she was seeking, Alex finds herself isolated in a hot, desolate landscape surrounded by scorpions, rattlers and all things venomous. Under the ferocious sun of New Mexico's endless deserts, Alex is tested by the hellfire of a sinister cult and her head injury makes chasing bad guys a high-risk gamble. How in the world will she survive the heat?

    Alex Sullivan, NYPD Homicide Detective, was first introduced in One Hand Killing and returns here in Killing Sacred to continue her battle with demons: both the ones within and the ones that find her on whatever mean street she's walking.

      Burned out from the gritty streets and depraved criminals she deals with daily, NYPD Detective Alex Sullivan escapes to the only place she can find any peace—a Zen Monastery in the Catskill Mountains. But while there, the walls of this once peaceful sanctuary are breached by the horror of ritual murders and the slow acid drip of suspicion. Introducing Alex Sullivan, 43 year-old NYPD homicide detective and novice Zen student, into the mystery genre. In the tradition of the best murder mysteries, it offers the reader entree into a new experience: the esoteric world of a Zen Buddhist Monastery – a place that is meant to be sacrosanct, where murder, suspicion and mayhem are not supposed to happen. A fast-paced murder mystery that is also a fascinating psychological portrait of the struggle between light and dark forces in the spiritual world, 'One Hand Killing' is a new and unusual twist in the suspense genre, going well beyond Who-done-it? to a more sophisticated literary koan: What, indeed, is the sound of one hand killing?
