Bloody Dagger Banner

Indianapolis attorney Brigit Bauer has always fought for the underdog, whether it’s sitting on the historic preservation board or mediating a gangland truce. But those battlegrounds are nothing compared to the web of deceit she uncovers, leading her through a maze of holding companies to the Chicago mob presence in her city. When a client dies in her place, she realizes she may have followed one lead too many.

Tony Pendrake, a former Navy SEAL and owner of T.P. Security, assists Bree in getting to the bottom of the attempts on her life. While Tony and Bree seek the person or persons behind the attacks, the two find themselves thrown into close proximity. The intensity of the situation leads to a relationship between them, but before they can discover where such a relationship could go, Bree’s newfound trust in Tony is tested in a final lethal encounter with the man who wants her dead.

Jeanette LaFleur, newly graduated and qualified as an ophthalmic technologist, starts her dream job as Clinical Coordinator for the Epi Project. When she discovers irregularities in record keeping for the project, she chalks it up to her predecessors’ lack of organization and sets about fixing the problems.

But when she finds that records are missing or maybe never even existed, she takes her concerns to her boss, Dr. Byron Rutherford, the charismatic head of the project and a nationally renowned corneal specialist. While he expresses his concern, he assures her that it must all be a matter of poor record keeping and gives her carte blanche to fix the problems.

Except the problems aren’t easily fixed.

As she digs deeper with the help of her current boyfriend, lawyer Charles Carter, and her deceased husband’s best friend, Dr. Scott Fontenot, she becomes convinced that the project is a front for illegal activities. Medical negligence, fraud, and money laundering are just the tip of the ice berg. It is when the trio discovers that illegal body parts, and not just the corneas needed for the Epi Project, are being brokered through a corporation owned by Dr. Rutherford and a South American doctor that murder raises its ugly head.

Now Jeanette is running for her life, as Scott endangers his by traveling to Brazil to find enough evidence to convict the highly esteemed Rutherford.

From the corrupt streets of New Orleans to the steamy plains and jungles of Brazil, Blind-Sided twists and turns as torturously as the snakes that swim the bayous of Louisiana.

Everybody dies sooner or later. It's the people dying sooner that cause attorney Mici Smith and Dr. Rob Craig to work together to seek answers.

Mici's response to Elinor Grace's death and the Grace family's suspicions that she was murdered is, as always, thorough. What she doesn't realize is that obtaining the exhumation order for Elinor's body will be opening the proverbial Pandora's box. Like Pandora, her life will never be the same again.

At the behest of the Grace family, Mici hires Rob to perform the autopsy. Rob finds that Elinor has been poisoned with nicotine. His gut tells him it is neither suicide nor an accident.

After the police refuse to look into Elinor Grace's suspicious death, Rob and Mici start down the twisted path to discover who would want to kill the elderly woman. Did the person who killed Elinor Grace also kill the Medical Director of the viatical insurance company which had bought her life insurance policy? Was Elinor killed as part of a scheme to make money for an unscrupulous CEO? Or was she killed for something she knew? Who is Master X and why does he want to kill Mici and Rob? How is Mici's evil father involved in the deaths?

The answers to these questions lead the couple to a scene right out of Edgar Allen Poe, complete with a dark and stormy night, baying hounds and a crypt.

Lisa MacDougall is not your normal jewelry designer. Her genetic ability to sense which gemstones complement her clients’ chakras has made her famous. Increasingly, her job at Romanoff’s Jewelry Store in New York City has become uncomfortable with Andrei Romanoff’s aggressive sexual overtures. Her inheritance in Ben Lomond, North Carolina couldn’t have come at a better time. Lisa picks up stakes and moves to the Blue Ridge tourist town. Here she discovers her ability to read crystal energy is just the tip of the iceberg and that her Uncle Lon has left her more than just a quaint mountain property.

DEA Agent, Marco Santiago, is on the trail of the Verde Fogate drug cartel. A raid on a Miami warehouse goes bad, and all the DEA finds after months of planning is a lead to a lawyer in Ben Lomond, North Carolina and the words “green fire.” Marco and his partner, Saul Ramirez, head for the Blue Ridge Mountains to get to the bottom of what the cartel finds so interesting in Ben Lomond.

For years, the Verde Fogate Cartel has laundered its drug money through MinGemCo, the largest producer of quality gemstones in the world. MinGemCo’s rarest commodity is high quality emeralds. The news that emeralds with the quality of green fire seem to be coming from North Carolina threatens to devalue the company’s monopoly. Cartel leader, Manual Norda, traces the supply of stones to Ben Lomond and the property of Lon MacDougall. When Lon refuses to sell, Manual has him killed and hires local shyster, Beau Crawford, to buy the land at the estate sale. Neither Manual nor Beau expect a niece to show up and take control of the land. Now, it’s Beau’s job to convince Lisa to sell - - one way or another.
