7. State of Genesis - Detective Virgil Jones is about to discover that the genesis of a friendship from long ago wasn't just a beginning. It could be his end.
Pete Long has it made. As a star high-school basketball player, he's just received a full athletic scholarship from Purdue University, and is already being scouted by the pro's. But when Pete meets up with a group of street players, something terrible happens, and Pete's life is changed forever...
Virgil's wife, Sandy, the lieutenant governor of the State of Indiana is working with the governor and Senator Michael Wright to pass legislation that has the potential to change the voting system, not only in their state, but all across the country. But not everyone wants the vote to pass. In fact, there are people who will do anything to ensure that it doesn't...
Rick Said, owner of the sonic drilling units that made Virgil and Sandy wealthy has a problem. The sonic drill units operate in part via artificial intelligence, something Said's engineers know nothing about. And when the company Said contracted with for the AI technology decides to discontinue their relationship, Said asks Virgil to find out why...
But Virgil has something that takes priority over Said's request. Senator Wright's son, Garrett, has been murdered. Was the murder a message to the senator to back away from the bill, or something else entirely? As Virgil and the rest of the Major Crimes Unit begin to look into Wright's death, they not only discover a twisted web of lies and deceit, they find themselves caught in the crosshairs of a killer.
9. State of Impact - Detective Virgil Jones is about to have his life turned upside-down in ways he couldn't possibly imagine...
In the middle of the night on a quiet country road in Northern Indiana a crop duster is stolen, and the patrol cop who happens by during the theft is brutally murdered. With the most famous racing event in the world only days away, the governor, along with the Department of Homeland Security task Virgil Jones and the state's Major Crimes Unit to determine if the two events are somehow connected. Their fear? The plane could be used to spray the crowd of spectators with a deadly substance, killing or injuring thousands...
But Virgil has his own personal motivation for finding the stolen aircraft: His wife, Sandy, has been chosen to wave the green flag to start the Indianapolis 500, something she is extremely excited about. But Virgil isn’t excited about the idea at all. In fact, he's afraid if they don't find the plane in time, and figure out who is responsible for one of the most complicated cases he's ever investigated, the Brickyard could be turned into a graveyard.
Virgil Jones always knew racing could be deadly, especially at the Indianapolis 500. He just never thought it would lead to murder.
10. State of Justice- The note was direct and to the point, scrawled in her own hand...a frantic, hurried, and hectic message that left Virgil Jones and his brother, Murton Wheeler, wondering if they'd just lost another of their own.
I’m not doing this to you. I’m doing it for you. Please forgive me.
Murton Wheeler's girlfriend, Becky Taylor, is fighting the demons of her past, and when she goes missing in the middle of the night, Virgil and Murton begin a fast and furious search. Her car is in the drive. Her purse, wallet, and phone are on the kitchen counter. There is no sign of a struggle. In fact, there was no struggle at all because when Virgil and Murton check the property's security cameras, they witness Becky walk out onto the road where she is placed in a windowless panel van by two masked men. Who were they, and more importantly, why didn't Becky resist or put up any kind of fight? And the note? What meaning does it hold? Did Becky leave of her own free will, or are there other forces at play, causing her to cooperate in something unknown to Virgil and Murton?
As their investigation unfolds, the clues are few and mysterious. And just when they begin to make any sort of progress, Virgil's boss, Cora LaRue, calls and orders Virgil and the entire Major Crimes Unit down to Clay County, where the sheriff needs their help with a murder investigation in the small town of Harmony. But with Becky still missing, Virgil doesn't want to leave Murton behind to continue the search alone and unaided.
Once again caught between the duties of his job, and the loyalty to his family, Virgil finds himself juggling two seemingly unrelated events...Becky's disappearance, and the murder in Clay County. And he's about to discover the choices he makes will determine not only Becky and Murton's fate, but his own as well.

11. State of Killers - Virgil Jones, leader of the state’s Major Crimes Unit, knew it was a day none of them would ever forget. He just didn’t think it would come back to haunt them…
They’d flown out of Freedom, Indiana, Doc Bell at the controls of the state helicopter because the governor’s pilot, Richard Cool, was unconscious and bleeding out. As it happened, they didn’t need to stay and fight any longer, the state’s National Guard called in to clean up the last of the gun runners. But with everything happening so fast and furious, what they didn’t know at the time was this: The National Guard didn’t get everyone. Someone had escaped without the Guard’s knowledge, and now he has a plan to recover his losses—not from Freedom—but somewhere else entirely…
Patty Doyle, the executive director of the Native American Cultural Center notices that some of the Native Americans she has under her care are leaving without any sort of notice, or reason. When she asks for help from the sheriff, it sets off a chain of events that takes Virgil and the MCU from one end of the state to the other, and when Virgil figures out what’s going on, the people he’s hunting don’t plan to let anything...or anyone stop them.
12. State of Life - A strange request from a trusted source has Detective Virgil Jones looking into the past, and when he does, he'll not only be forced to face his own demons, but his father's as well.
Decades ago, Marion County Sheriff Mason Jones investigated the disappearance of a young female cross-country runner who didn't return home after a local high school competition. No ransom was ever demanded, and the only piece of evidence ever recovered was a single running shoe with a spot of blood that had seeped into the laces. After a long and exhaustive search, the missing girl was never found, and eventually, the investigation was listed as unsolved. The case notes and shoe were boxed up and stuck in an evidence locker where they'd wither and die, just like the young female athlete. What Mason didn't realize at the time was this: The missing girl wasn't the only one abducted. Over the years, there'd been more. Many more...
Virgil Jones, lead detective for the state's Major Crimes Unit is still struggling after the loss of a friend and coworker. Ron Miles was ambushed and shot to death on a previous case while rounding up the last holdout of a group of drug-runners in Southern Indiana. Virgil and Ron had weathered a tenuous relationship over the years, but Virgil's guilt over putting Ron into a position that ultimately cost him his life is tearing him apart...
In French Lick, Indiana, just south of the Lost River, an elderly man is found dead in his garage. His morning newspaper and cup of coffee are sitting on the workbench next to his chair. In one hand he held an unlit cigarette; in the other a simple Bic lighter. His head is tipped back in the chair as if he might have experienced the most tranquil death anyone could ever hope for. The family, the authorities, and even the emergency medical personnel all agreed...it looked like he'd simply closed his eyes to rest, then peacefully drifted off to wherever the dead go when their time comes. But time is mysterious, looks can be deceiving, and as Virgil Jones is about to discover, the death of the elderly man will unravel a mystery that began decades ago, one where lives were lost, and black-hearted killers had few, if any boundaries.
13. State of Mind- Virgil Jones, lead detective for the state's Major Crimes Unit thinks he has everything under control...until a crew of professional thieves and murderers from the deep south roll into the city and set up shop. Their plan? Take down Banks and Credit Unions in rural areas scattered all across the state...
