When the dead body of one of lawyer Ian Locke's wealthy clients is discovered in a place most unbefitting for a man of his station, it is just one piece of a complicated legacy that Ian must unravel.Who killed Ralph Wainwright? His bitter wife? His son, back in town after a long absence? The discovery of multiple wills further clouds Wainwright's relationships and motives others may have had in wanting to see him dead.From the countryside to the courtroom, the small town of Borderview to the burgeoning metropolis of Omaha, Last Will is a tale of mystery and suspense set in 1880s Nebraska, as lawmen and law wranglers must navigate the ripple effect a murder has on the community and their families.
A murder trial would normally be of little interest to Thad Locke, who escaped the "family disease" of law wrangling, but two women--one the accused murderess, the other a member of her defense team--have intertwined themselves with both Thad and his lawyering family.Will Kirsten Cavelle be the first woman sent to the gallows in the state of Kansas? As some members of the community seek to take the law into their own hands, will she even live to see the end of the trial? As the trial unfolds, secrets from the past are revealed, lives are changed forever, and a little known piece of land grows to have resonance far beyond its size.Set amongst the Kansas Flint Hills and the growing city of Manhattan in the 1880s, Medicine Wheel further explores the stories of the Locke family, first introduced in the author's novel, Last Will.
The murder of a prominent member of Santa Fe society brings a high profile criminal defense client to the Rivers & Sinclair law firm, but will Josh Rivers's history with both the victim and suspect make for an untenable attorney-client relationship? And what will the collateral damage be to those trying to seek the truth to what really happened on the night of the murder? As the story unfolds beyond the city of Santa Fe into the mountains north, the uncovering of long held secrets of the Rivers family unexpectedly intersects with the investigation, providing mystery on more fronts than any expected. The fourth entry in The Law Wranglers series, Summer's Child will thrill readers of the first three books while also providing an entry point for new readers of the popular Western series.
On assignment for the Bureau of Investigation in the summer of 1927, Trey Ramsey seeks information regarding the disappearances of young Sioux women from their reservations in the Black Hills of South Dakota. Meanwhile, young rancher Kate Connolly is at the right place at the right time to thwart an assassination attempt on the President of the United States, who has made the State Game Lodge in South Dakota his "Summer White House." As the stakes rise, Trey must untangle how his investigation is related to the attack on the president, and he and Kate must solve the puzzle of their entwined histories. Twilight of the Coyote grips the reader, painting a picture of the West after it was "Old" . . . but nevertheless still "Wild."
A thrilling ride is set in motion when a sergeant's wife is murdered at Fort Sill and Broken Wing, a young Comanche brave, is found at the murder scene, dazed and chanting. Comanche Chief Quanah Parker, fighting the U.S. government over his tribe's refusal to adopt the white man's laws and forsake polygamy and the use of peyote, requests his lawyers, Jael and Josh Rivers, to represent the young brave. As the Rivers duo begins investigating the murder, it quickly becomes clear there is no open and shut case against Broken Wing. In Peyote Spirits, a novella set amongst the backdrop of the popular Law Wranglers series, the bloody conflict between the U.S. Army and the Comanche has ceased . . . but learning to live together spawns a whole new set of battles.
Thad Locke was not surprised to discover a dead body in the aftermath of a fire on a small homestead in the Kansas Flint Hills.

As the Lockes begin to piece together clues linking the two, a fiery and deadly climax becomes inevitable.Unfolding in mere days, Hell's Fire is an enthralling story about who is going to stand with you when the chips are down.
