A Stan Brookshire Novel Series

Separated at birth…reunited by murder.  Behind the gates of an exclusive Lake City neighborhood, prominent businessman Don Chu’s housekeeper has been brutally murdered and his teenage daughter taken. The high-profile case has the Mayor himself sending the case across Detective Stan Brookshire’s desk. He barely has time to digest the details of the two sinister crimes before he’s called to yet another disturbing scene.  This time, at the other end of the city, another murder and attempted kidnapping ring out with a similarity too convenient for coincidence. As the clues fall into place and the evidence mounts, Stan starts to see a pattern emerge. A DNA match, and the two cases now become one. With the help of an unexpected young ally, Stan begins his search for a victim that may still be alive. It’s a race against the clock and across the globe that will test his skills to the absolute limit. Two murders. Two kidnappings. Twice the danger.

A cult has been killing children for its rituals and only one cop knows who they are. Detective Stan Brookshire knows but his past keeps people from believing in him. Can he rise above the stigma that shrouds his past and stop a cult from taking yet another innocent child from her mother’s arms before it’s too late?

As a kidnapper with a lifelong grudge holds an innocent woman captive, Detective Stan Brookshire has little evidence to go on. When he accepts help from an unlikely source, he comes to rely on her psychic vision. Will she lead him to Missy before it’s too late? Or will he humiliate himself and the entire Lake City Police Department chasing bogus leads while Missy Sheen’s time runs out?

Some cases are hard to let go of, even haunting. Detective Stan Brookshire knows this better than anyone - he still relives a particularly brutal unsolved case from his past in his darkest dreams. A young girl gone and her murderer never brought to justice…  There’s a serial killer who removes pieces of his victims until they succumb to his game and then skips town, without a trace. He's already left his mark on Lake City and Stan himself but he's back and has his eyes set on Stan; this time it’s personal.  It's Stan against the clock as he and the entire Lake City Police Force race once more to catch the one that got away. Will another innocent die in the process or will Stan get to her in time?

A fifteen year-old unsolved case is still causing problems - this time in Homicide Detective Stan Brookshire's backyard. Newlyweds seem to be an endangered species in and around Lake City. What evidence there is, lies with a small-town sheriff and may or may not have been gathered and handled properly. Stan can only hope to make sense of what's been left behind and apply it to the recent case before more innocent lives are lost.  Meanwhile, Father Jaime cannot remember anything for entire periods of time... periods that happen to coincide with the times that the murders took place. He is tormented by this and has come to doubt even himself. Can he trust this big city cop to handle this information with an open mind? Or will he immediately be persecuted? He worries the whole town will look bad, having worshipped under a potential killer all these years...  It's up to Stan and Jane to get to the bottom of the murders before the killer strikes again. This time, they need help from the outside - will they get to the bottom of this, or will they take the easy bait destroying more lives in their wake?

A young girl trying to turn her life around takes pity on a lonely looking man one night... the next morning, Homicide Detective Stan Brookshire is called to one of the most gruesome crime scenes of his career.  Unfortunately, the killer left behind no evidence, leaving Stan almost nothing go to on and under immense pressure from the Chief to solve the case quickly, or let it go cold.  Meanwhile, the killer’s rage is spiraling out of control. He feels that he’s doing the world a favor and has no intention of stopping.  Will Stan’s instincts once again come through on this case? If he doesn’t catch a break - and soon - he’ll be forced to move on, letting the killer run free.
