About this series
Retired Denver homicide detective Arn Anderson returned to his sleepy hometown in Wyoming just to restore his boyhood home—but he keeps getting caught up in chasing serial killers. An old friend of Arn's wants him to look into the suspicious deaths of her husband and brother, both dead of apparently natural causes in Veterans Administration hospitals several hundred miles apart. But both victims had almost identical injuries… and it seems they may not be the only ones. Arn doesn't think there's anything natural about the deaths, and once again, he enlists the help of his TV reporter friend, Ana Maria, who turns her attention to researching similar deaths at VA hospitals. Soon, Arn is looking at a pattern he can't ignore, and a growing list of suspects. It doesn't take them long to single out an anti-military cult leader who was seen protesting at the hospitals when the murder victims were found. Then, there's the paroled killer from their past, who showed up in Cheyenne right around the time the killing spree started. Between dodging their old nemesis and closing in on new ones, Arn and Ana Maria fear they might be next on the VA Slayer's hit list.

- Hunting the Five Point Killer: A Bitter Wind Mystery, #1
1
On the tenth anniversary of a series of unsolved murders, the Five Point Killer is back for blood―and retired cop Arn Anderson could be the next investigator who gets too close to the truth. Retired detective Arn Anderson never thought he'd be broke enough to take on a cold murder case. Or desperate enough to team up with a TV reporter. Or pathetic enough to go back to his rundown childhood home after he swore he'd left Cheyenne for good. But here he is, hunting a serial killer who also appears to have come out of retirement. On the anniversary of the Five Point Killer's crimes, Arn's only option is to survive the carnage of a murderer who may be too twisted―and too brilliant―to catch.
