A federal judge and his sons are shot dead, just when he’s on the verge of a major donation to a local charity. It’s an unsolvable crime that leaves Lucas Davenport and Virgil Flowers stumped over the most unexpected misdirection.
Letty Davenport, the tough-as-nails adopted daughter of Lucas Davenport, takes on an undercover assignment that brings her across the country and into the crosshairs of a dangerous group of hackers.
It’s the murder of three Coast Guard personnel that eventually pulls Lucas Davenport and Virgil Flowers to Miami, as they seek an elusive drug drop.
By age twenty-four, Letty Davenport has seen more action and uncovered more secrets than many law enforcement professionals. Now a recent Stanford grad with a master’s in economics, she’s restless and bored in a desk job for U.S. Senator Colles. Letty’s ready to quit, but her skills have impressed Colles, and he offers her a feet-on-the-ground investigative work, in conjunction with the Department of Homeland Security.
Deep in the Yukon wilderness, a town is being built. A place for people to disappear, a fresh start from a life on the run, and different from Rockton. Then two of the construction crew break the one rule and go missing. Casey and Eric are called in only to find more going on than ever thought.
Tucked away in the Yukon wilderness, the hidden town of Rockton survives — and thrives — because the residents’ many secrets stay just that — secret. But what happens when these secrets start to come out? Overnight, no one is safe. It’s not a question of if your secret will come out — but when.
A diplomat whose identity is “stolen” encounters his “thief” again and again, and each time she’s identified as a different person. Drawing Sir Stafford Nye into a game of political intrigue more dangerous than he could possibly imagine where no-one can be sure of anyone.
A message arrives that Francis is in trouble. In wartime Germany. Worried for his brother, Desmond Okewood, tracks the message through prison camps, hotels, and cafés, doing his best to avoid ruthless German spies.
The beautiful stage actress Nur-el-Din has London captivated but there is a mystery about her. It is enhanced when a dead body is found connected to her and the Chief of the British Secret Service feels it warrants investigation, something he puts on the still young agent Okewood.
