    About this series

    "Fast-paced, evocative and urgent from the get-go, Express Intent is the best Gold and Courage series book yet." — Bestthrillers.

    Ex-cop Vance Courage is holed up at a luxury ranch when 15-year-old Caitlin Fleming goes for an early morning run and vanishes in the desert. His partner Lauren Gold fears the teenager was taken by the cartels operating on the US-Mexico border.

    But Vance is baffled by the crime scene: Why do the girl's footprints suddenly stop and why are there no tire tracks or signs of a struggle? Vance thinks he saw a UFO at the time the teen disappeared. But that's crazy. Or, is it? Southwest Texas is, after all, a hotbed for the private aerospace industry.

    When Native American tracker Daryl Flood arrives to help with the search and hints that an experimental aircraft was stolen from a nearby high-security R&D facility, Vance wonders if his theory isn't so outlandish. After the fitness tracker Caitlin is wearing pings on a cell tower in Alabama, he begins to suspect her abductor might be headed to Florida.

    As more arrows point to the Sunshine State, Vance hops a flight to Miami, and when Lauren discovers Daryl is headed there, too, she slyly follows him. As more go missing, including Vance's elderly mother, he fears the worst. With only each other to trust, Gold and Courage are back on their old turf, facing an evil nemesis from their past, racing the clock before time runs out for the hostages.

    ". . . a tense novel that focuses on the frantic search for an abducted teen and the unusual red herrings that emerge along the way." — BookLife Prize

      "An outstanding debut thriller that has it all: misdirection, intrigue, murder, and family. Captivating and engrossing." —The BookLife Prize "A taut, thrilling drama told exceptionally well." — Steve Berry, New York Times bestselling author "An engagingly written series starter with a bounty of plot twists and Miami Vices." — Kirkus Reviews Rumors of $75 million in missing cartel cash. An iconic Florida waterfront hotel with a dangerous past. An ex detective turned lawyer with his own playbook. Vance Courage knows all too well the Hotel Mutiny was once the secret enclave for Miami's notorious Cocaine Cowboys. Law enforcement, drug lords, and lots of shady operatives lived it up inside the Mutiny's high security private club. Outside the hotel, Miami was a war zone. The coroner stored murder victims in rented refrigerated trucks. Witnesses and jurors disappeared. A federal judge was gunned down outside his home. But that was a different era. Or was it? Courage is a lawyer now and his practice is on the skids. When a fugitive sneaks into Miami from Cuba, it unleashes demons from the past. Characters from the Cocaine Cowboy days are cropping up — including an enticing woman he meets on a dating app. With his life going nowhere fast, he wonders what they want with him. And why now? This paradoxical tale of murder, tenderness, corruption, and family will get inside your head and won't let go until you've read the final word.
