Book Description
Murder, sex, stalking, just a normal day for Lieutenant Jake Carrington, that is, until he becomes the one being stalked. Were rules really meant to be broken? Jake Carrington is finding out the hard way that the answer is no. He dated a victim's sister a couple of times during the investigation and now Chloe Wagner is the number one suspect in the murder. If Chloe is convicted Jake could lose his rank or worse, his job. While trying to resolves his cases Jake is faced with a stalker. Someone is hunting him and his current girlfriend Mia. Excerpt Heading back to the bullpen, Jake pulled up short. Louie walked right into him. "Hey, what the..." He ignored Louie and stared. Chapter Two "What are you doing here, Chloe?" Steel in his tone, had the woman stepping back. "Nice way to greet someone. I called, you didn't answer. So I came around to check on my sister's case." "Isn't it a little late to be out?" "No. I just thought I'd stop in." "I don't answer my personal phone at crime scenes. You've been told countless times you need to call through the switchboard to check up on Shanna's case." "I thought we could talk. You don't return any of my calls." "You don't want to do this now..." Louie interrupted. "Jake, why don't you head over to the lab and grab the reports? I'll talk to Ms. Wagner." Jake looked around the squad room. He saw the other detectives with their heads down, giving the appearance of privacy. He knew better-they were listening to every word he exchanged with Chloe. No one gossip better than a cop. "It's okay, Louie. I'll handle it." Jake turned his attention back to Chloe. "Jake, the captain's waiting the reports. We need them now. The labs expecting you. Go...I'll update Ms. Wagner." As Jake walked away, he heard Chloe ask, "Why's he avoiding me?" * * * * Louie took a few minutes to reply, studying her. He mentally noted her statistics-five-six, one hundred twenty pounds, brown hair, brown eyes, and full mouth in a rounded face. A pretty woman, in "the girl next door" kind of way; all wrapped in a bossy, possessive nature. The top two turn-offs for any man, especially one like Jake. Jake had dumped her quickly. He never dated any woman for long. He knew that Jake never allowed himself to get close to anyone.

Book Description
A shocking and deeply reported account of the persistent plague of institutional racism and junk forensic science in our criminal justice system, and its devastating effect on innocent lives After two three-year-old girls were raped and murdered in rural Mississippi, law enforcement pursued and convicted two innocent men: Kennedy Brewer and Levon Brooks. Together they spent a combined thirty years in prison before finally being exonerated in 2008. Meanwhile, the real killer remained free. The Cadaver King and the Country Dentist recounts the story of how the criminal justice system allowed this to happen, and of how two men, Dr. Steven Hayne and Dr. Michael West, built successful careers on the back of that structure. For nearly two decades, Hayne, a medical examiner, performed the vast majority of Mississippi's autopsies, while his friend Dr. West, a local dentist, pitched himself as a forensic jack-of-all-trades. Together they became the go-to experts for prosecutors and helped put countless Mississippians in prison. But then some of those convictions began to fall apart. Here, Radley Balko and Tucker Carrington tell the haunting story of how the courts and Mississippi's death investigation system -- a relic of the Jim Crow era -- failed to deliver justice for its citizens. The authors argue that bad forensics, structural racism, and institutional failures are at fault, raising sobering questions about our ability and willingness to address these crucial issues.

Book Description
It’s a shocking blast from the past when homicide detective Jake Carrington finds himself investigating the last woman he’d suspect of murder . . . Recovering from a stab wound to the gut, and dealing with the news that his sister’s killer might beat the system, Lieutenant Jake Carrington needs some downtime. But that’s cut short by a very sensitive case: the murder of the police commisioner’s wife. The crime scene—a dive hotel, complete with provocative, incriminating photos—suggests the victim was having an affair. But Jake finds that hard to believe—as hard to believe as the #1 suspect . . . Jake hasn’t seen his highschool sweetheart, Melinda Mastrianni, since the day his sister, Eva, died. He’d turned down Eva’s request for a ride so he could go see Melinda, and the guilt has never left him. Now Melinda’s a local photographer, mostly shooting weddings and graduations. Definitely not the kind of pics that led him to her doorstep. But when Melinda disappears, and more prominent women turn up dead, Jake will have to navigate through a twisted blackmailing scheme to find out if the girl he once knew is long gone—or if she’s a killer’s next target . . . “Tense and authentic—a suspenseful page-turner!” --Leo J. Maloney on All the Pretty Brides
