Book 1 - River Walk Murder (Spring 2025)
A body in the river, a mother’s desperate plea, and a private investigator determined to uncover the truth—can one man’s quest for truth stand against the tide of corruption?
On a scorching July day, the San Antonio River reveals a chilling secret: the body of Marissa Luna, a college student whose death is hastily ruled an accident. Her mother, convinced of foul play, turns to Nick Fischer, a former Marine turned private investigator. As Nick delves into the young woman’s life, he discovers a web of lies, abuse, and the wealthy elite willing to do anything to protect their own.
With the police dismissing his findings and the grandson of a billionaire oil tycoon as the prime suspect, the private investigator finds himself in a deadly game of cat and mouse where every clue could be his last. Haunted by survivor’s guilt and memories of his military past, Nick faces threats that put his life and the lives of his loved ones at risk, forcing him to confront how far he’s willing to go for justice.
In a city where power and privilege reign, can Nick navigate the treacherous waters of political corruption and personal danger to uncover the truth, or will these ruthless adversaries hunt him down and extinguish any hope of seeing justice for Marissa?
Book 2 - The Girl from Cali (Fall 2025)
When a local rancher’s estranged granddaughter goes missing, he turns to an old family friend, Nick Fischer, for help. Still recovering from the gunshot wound that ended his last case and almost ended his life, Nick promises to bring her home. The trail leads from small town Fredericksburg to the seedy underbelly of San Antonio and a charismatic and ruthless gangster named Dragon who preys on runaways. His victims are never seen again, and Maya may have fallen to his charms.
The gangster with ties to a Mexican cartel stays one step ahead of law enforcement by blackmailing city officials who like underage girls. That layer of protection means Nick will have to go it alone. One man against an army, Nick hits every underworld business he can find until he flushes Dragon out of hiding. Using Maya as his hostage, the gangster makes a run for the border. Nick races against time and his own failing health to stop him before it’s too late.
