Homicide inspector Vince Torelli has a reputation for solving the toughest cases in the City, but this one is unlike anything else he has faced. The killings make no sense, lack motive, and appear to be unrelated but Vince knows there has to be a link between them. He struggles to find the connection and identify the suspect, but as he gets closer to the answer, he becomes a target himself. This can end only one of two ways, either by him solving the case, or by becoming a victim himself.

Bitter Tree
By Frank Altobelli
{Thriller}
Eleanor could not have known the effect the handsome, idealistic archeologist, Rene, would have on her. She gave him her heart, but did not easily give up her secrets. She knew the mystery hidden under the desert sands; one of the Bible's most intriguing stories was not the miracle that would bring clean safe water to the world's thirsty poor as Rene believed. She knew it was instead, a weapon that could humble the world's industrial powers and they would kill to keep it hidden.
Trapped between the longings of her heart and the danger she has unleashed, Eleanor finds herself on the run and separated from the man she loves. She must do the impossible, overcome her mentor and former CIA boss, Steve Clarkson as well as the men plotting to destroy the strategic oil reserve, poisoning the US economy's lifeblood.� To Steve she is a traitor who joined his nation's enemies. To the terrorists she is the one person who can stop them.

Dead by the Sea
Dan Donoghue
Jim Groggan was bored. He was so bored that when a brutal murder occurred on the beach where he was staying, he took too great an interest in it. He even volunteered to drive a police officer down along the beach to interview Hippies in a seaside camp. There he met a girl, and unwisely went to her aid. Then events spun out of control and he was mixed up in turmoil of drugs, guns, and murder. Suddenly, boredom seemed a very desirable state indeed as he and the girl became the target of ruthless gangsters, while the police seemed more interested in using them as bait than in protecting them.
When a police officer told Jim not to shoot as it was becoming a massacre, he wasn't fooling, and he knew only the half of it.

Book 2: KO'd in the Volcano
"'K.O.'d in the Volcano', starring Honolulu police officer, Katrina Ogden, is a unique and delightful mystery set in the mysterious and beautiful Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park. It is an intriguing story full of twists and turns that is sure to enthrall both real and armchair visitors of Hawaii's romantic and multicultural society. Grab your lei, watch out for the lava and hang on for the ride!"
"Victoria Heckman's 'K.O.'d in the Volcano' is a terrific novel. The plot is as fast and hot as the lava that threatens to blow from Kupaianaha and the writing so vivid you can feel the ensuing heat. Katrina Ogden is an intelligent and self-confident protagonist who remains genuine in nature, a refreshing change from so many of the carefully constructed and gimmicky characters that populate so many of today's mysteries. I recommend it highly."

Killer in Pair-A-Dice
by Dennis N. Griffin
Killer In Pair-A-Dice is the story of a serial rapist and murderer operating in the Las Vegas Valley. Not far from the glitter of this world famous adult playground, the killer claims his victims. Driven by a deep hatred for women, he begins his reign of terror by seeking out those who remind him of someone from his past. Someone who caused him great pain.
As the body count rises, the national news media pick up on the story. Pressure for a speedy apprehension is brought to bear by feminist groups and politicians. But the killer is both daring and intelligent. He leaves little in the way of clues or evidence that will lead to his being identified. His ability to attack in areas teeming with people without being seen, leads the press to dub him the Phantom.
Detective Steve Garneau, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, is assigned as the lead investigator on the case. Working under a microscope, he pursues his elusive quarry. Then something happens that changes the course of the investigation. Unknown to the detective, an unscrupulous reporter is nearby when he vows not to rest until the killer is on a gurney with a needle in his arm, receiving a lethal injection. When that story is printed, the investigation quickly becomes a personal matter between the hunter and the hunted.
Garneau races the clock to find the murderer before he can strike again, with the real possibility that the next victim could be his own wife or daughter.

Kokang - A Novel of Southeast Asia
By Allen Wittenborn
Matt Erickson's life turns upside down when he receives a State Department telegram notifying him that his younger brother is missing and possibly dead in Burma. Matt's been in Hong Kong for a year struggling to make a go of his brokerage business. Now this! The last thing he needs is to take off for the wilds of the lawless Burmese hinterland.
But the cable forces him to drop everything and set out in search of Luke. "Everything" includes not only his work, but his dilemma of being torn between a relationship with Vivian Lee, an alluring and seductive Hong Kong gem magnate who promises sex and big money, and his desire to marry Florence Chen, who herself is caught between the opposing forces of her love for Matt and her role as the leader of her clan's global business empire in Kokang.
Helped by the fiery Burmese revolutionary, Thiri Khalya, Matt is drawn deeper into the vortex of Burma's cut-throat politics. He's out of his element and faces an array of problems, not the least of which is that he's in Burma illegally, not a good idea given its brutal military junta.
KOKANG opens up a world of warlords, mercenaries, and ethnic freedom fighters, Chinese mafia, and powerful and commanding women. This is a story from an Asian point of view--Asia from the inside out. But place complements the characters, and brings to life the geographical expression of a region that is more than a territorial setting: Southeast Asia becomes a character in itself.
