The riverside files
Riverside Strangler
A chilling psychological thriller that will keep readers hooked from the first page to the last. Perfect for fans of Gillian Flynn and Karin Slaughter, this dark and twist-filled story explores guilt, loss, and the haunting beauty of a killer’s art.
Detective Lisa Park thought she had buried the past - until the bodies started appearing. Fifteen years ago, her niece drowned, and the memories of that painful loss have haunted Lisa ever since. But when women start turning up along Miller’s Creek, arranged in eerily peaceful poses with serene faces, Lisa realizes the past isn't as buried as she thought.
The press calls him The Riverside Strangler, a killer who turns death into a twisted form of art. But to Lisa, each body feels like a message, a reflection of her own guilt. As Lisa dives deeper into the investigation, she is forced to confront the horrors of her past - and the monster who hides in the shadows, using the water as his canvas.
With each new victim, the lines between Lisa’s personal demons and the case blur. The hunt for this calculating killer becomes a race against time, one that threatens to tear apart the last thing Lisa has left - her daughter.
The Weight of Justice
She spoke their names. Now they're dying.
Detective Lisa Park thought her podcast interview was harmless—a discussion about cases that haunted her, guilty people who walked free. She never named names.
But someone was listening. Someone took notes.
Now bodies are appearing across the city, each one staged with surgical precision, each victim guilty of crimes the system ignored. And pinned to every corpse: a note explaining their sin, signed with a chilling message.
The scales must balance.
The killer knows details Lisa never made public. He's sending her texts, daring her to understand. He believes she gave him permission—that her words were a blueprint for justice the law couldn't deliver.
But this isn't about justice. It's about her.
When the investigation reveals a twenty-year-old secret buried in her own family, Lisa realizes the vigilante isn't cleaning up society's mistakes. He's orchestrating her destruction, one carefully chosen victim at a time.
And his final target is someone she loves.
At Lake Harrison—where her niece drowned, where a corrupt cop covered up a murder, where everything began—Lisa will face an impossible choice: uphold the law she's sworn to protect, or save the person she can't live without.
Some scales can't be balanced. Some debts can only be paid in blood.
The Art of Death
Detective Lisa Park thought she'd left her darkest case behind.
Two years ago, serial killer Thomas Crane vanished after a deadly confrontation at Lake Harrison. Now he's back—and this time, he's turned murder into art.
Bodies appear across Riverside, each staged to recreate famous paintings. A homeless woman floating like Ophelia. A sex worker posed as Vermeer's Girl with a Pearl Earring. A museum cleaner arranged as Flaming June. The victims are society's invisible—people no one notices until Crane makes them impossible to ignore.
But Lisa knows something the FBI doesn't: every crime scene mirrors a location from her therapy sessions. Her safe spaces. Her confessions. And when she discovers her therapist has been recording every word, passing Lisa's trauma directly to Crane, she realizes the truth.
She isn't investigating these murders. She's the inspiration for them.
When Lisa uncovers the conspiracy, she knows three things:
• The murders are her fault.
• More victims are already chosen.
• She's meant to be the final piece.
Suspended from the force and running out of time, Lisa must confront the killer who's been studying her for years. But Crane isn't just creating art. He's creating legacy.
And Lisa is his masterpiece.
A psychological thriller about guilt, obsession, and the deadly price of visibility.
Perfect for fans of Karin Slaughter and Freida McFadden.

below the bridge
Someone is going to die on Highway 80.
Nate Brennan is sent to Selma, Alabama, for a simple assignment: profile the city's beloved district attorney. Raymond Gaines is charismatic, untouchable, and being groomed for a higher office. Everyone loves him. Every article about him reads as if he wrote it himself. Then Nate meets the woman with the filing cabinet.
Three years of evidence. A private prison corporation is buying judges. Exposed court cases disappearing from the public record. And a list of seventeen people who died in custody while the DA looked the other way.
One of those names is Nate's mother. They told him she overdosed. They lied. She died of an untreated infection in a prison cell — and his own aunt took $40,000 to keep quiet. Now the profile is dead. The investigation is alive. And the people who built this system know he's coming. His room has been searched. His photographer has been beaten. He's been arrested on fabricated charges and fired from his paper. They want him to stop. He can't. Because the conspiracy runs from the county courthouse to the U.S. Senate — and the truth about his mother is buried at the center of it.
In Selma, the truth doesn't set you free. It makes you a target.
A dark, propulsive thriller told in dual POV — the journalist hunting the truth and the powerful man trying to bury it. For fans of Freida McFadden, John Grisham, and Karin Slaughter.
