1. Girl Number Four - PROM NIGHT
17 year old Alison Adams zipped herself into her prom dress and finished the final touch up on her salon-coiffed French wave when she heard her date’s knock. As her mother had long promised, she would remember this night, her Prom Night… forever.
Checking herself in the floor length mirror, she took a deep breath, practice smiled and opened the door.
Alison Adams never saw the person who threw the acid.
TEN YEARS LATER.
A scarred and disfigured Alison Adams begs Private Investigators Mallory Dimante and Jake Steiner to solve the seemingly unsolvable cold case. Claiming her life has been ‘gratefully reborn’, and that she only wants to find and forgive the person responsible.
Sympathetic but wary, Dimante and Steiner reluctantly agree.
However, as their investigation propels them back to that very prom night and the backstabbing turmoil of high school, they find their hot looking senior from Wayland High, had been a wickedly ‘busy’ girl.
In fact, Dimante and Steiner’s investigation stirs the pot of high school jealousy once again, exposing all who hated her and all who had an illicit relationship with her. Until it finally puts Alison Adams face to face with the original perpetrator.
The only certainty when the two meet is that there will be one more brimming vial, in the hand of one not quite sane.
Either someone is intent on finishing what they started ten years ago…
…or someone is determined to exact revenge for a life ruined.

3. The Widow Black - Two days before their wedding Private Investigator Mallory Dimante kissed her investigative partner and fiancée, Jake Steiner goodbye.
Not forever.
At least... that was the plan.
The instructions for the job were simple. And for Mallory, they were ideal. Attend a will-reading. Observe the heirs. Report back their reactions. It had to be a female investigator, to blend in, the letter had said. And the expenses were all prepaid.
She had longed to prove herself as more than a competent investigator. And, if truth be told, notch up, also, in the eyes of Jake, ten years her senior and former Sacramento Police detective.
Now, along comes the perfect job.
It would only take… a few hours.
Expenses… prepaid.
A few hours.
Simple.
Until… Mallory Dimante went missing.
Her car, abandoned, half-on, half-off the road. Skid marks. Driver door open. Wallet, cash, credit cards all there.
She and Jake had been warned about the vindictive fervor and irrational devotion of the followers of Honorable Honey Stern, the former Presidential candidate, whom Mallory had months ago exposed to the world as a serial pedophile. But time had passed. Nothing had occurred. Jake and Mallory’s security precautions against vengeance had waned.
Yet hate didn’t die in those scorned. It simmered with an acid-like hatred.
Until revenge could be exacted.
Until consequences could be addressed.
And the Widow Black has guaranteed Mallory Dimante’s wedding day is one she will live or die to regret.

4. Rumor Of Clowns - September 27, 2011. 12:15 AM
A moonlit night on the lonely outskirts of Portland Oregon.
Michelle McNamara and her ten-year-old daughter, Linda, are stopped by the side of the road. Michelle is checking GPS.
Linda begs her mother to go, to drive, to move because she has seen something… someone beside the side of the road.
And now whoever or whatever it is, has reappeared behind their car. And a white-gloved hand, already stained in red, is now working its way toward the driver’s door.
In a few minutes, an incident will occur and Michelle McNamara will be gone.
And the only evidence of what happened will be locked inside the only witness, young Linda McNamara.
Ten years later a young woman, claiming to be Linda McNamara has walked into the Seattle office of Diamond & Stone investigations. And she has a story to tell.
It is a tale that will embroil Investigators Jake Steiner and Mallory Dimante and their assistant, Surai Chanthara, in a bizarre, baffling, and terrifying trip into a world rife with masked identities, clandestine cabals, and devious lusts.
Beanie hats, greasepaint and painted-on smiles will conceal the twists and turns and depth of treachery Mallory and Jake are about to suffer.
And childhood terrors will once again come true as Jake and Mallory come face-to-face with the smiling, larger-than-life, personification of evil, the clown known only as Boy O Boy.

6. The Over Under - 14 year old Jessica Cooper is the perfect child.
She has an ideal life living with her brother, Michael, and uncle and cousin on a thriving Arizona cattle ranch. She has a boyfriend who worships her. And recently she was named Young Artist of the Year in a national arts competition.
The perfect child.
Except…
An old man has been poisoned in the middle of the night.
A body has been found in the scorching Arizona heat propped up against a fence.
Everything points to perfect fourteen-year-old Jessica Ann Cooper. And now Jessica Cooper has disappeared.
Private Investigators Jake Steiner and Mallory Dimante are about to find out how disturbed the teenager is when, from out of their past, Jessie Cooper and her brother Michael come crashing back into their lives, threatening not just Jake and Mallory’s lives but that of their infant daughter too.
Because perfect Jessie Cooper carries with her a secret even she knows nothing about. It is a twisted secret that involves a lawyer who isn’t one, a rookie detective on her first case, and a hidden diary that reveals what should never be revealed.
And when Jessie resurfaces, this deadly secret will drag Jake, Mallory, and their child into their own personal hell.
The real question is whether Jessie Cooper is perfect or…
… perfectly crazy.
