State of Denial
2016
From the bestselling author of the Kate Reid crime thrillers... FBI civilian data analyst, Lacy Merrick, manages the threat of terrorism every day. But when terror strikes home, she is faced with a new reality and a new enemy. When she crosses paths with Special Agent Will Caison after the tragic incident, Lacy begins to unravel a furtive plot to discredit not only her, but her husband and cyber security expert, Jay Merrick. The plot, she soon discovers, balances on the tip of a deeply embedded secret that has the potential to destroy a nation. Lacy recruits Agent Caison and long-time friend and hacker, Aaron Hunter, to help her find those responsible for taking the lives of so many Americans. She must clear the cloud of suspicion around her family and reveal a truth that will inflame a fearful public. But powerful enemies surround her every move and will employ all necessary resources to keep Lacy and everyone she loves silent forever. Fans of Robin Mahle’s Kate Reid series might remember Special Agent Will Caison as she reintroduces him alongside Lacy Merrick. And once again, she delivers on a spectacular level with the first book in this new and thrilling series.

With CIA Agent Trevor Axell, FBI Agent Will Caison, and cyber-hacker, Aaron Hunter, they must work covertly to expose the trail. Find the money and they'll bring an end to the corruption. But not everyone wants to see Dalian fall. Powerful forces seek a different outcome. Now Lacy and her team must find those who set in motion a plan to bring down a superpower, or risk igniting another world war.

Ghost Nation
2018
Lacy Merrick and her team have a new mission; find the man behind a black-market operation who helped fund the thwarted attack in Beijing. However, what the clandestine task force discovers is a more troubling problem. The organization and the man behind it is funding terror by selling stolen US intellectual property to rogue regimes. When they get too close, the operation funded by government interests in Eastern Europe, implements its so-called Ghost Nation protocol and goes dark. The trail cools until Lacy encounters a potential ally, a cyber hacker known only as Graybear, whose motives remain unclear. When Trevor Axell, head of the task force, along with Will Caison and Aaron Hunter home in on the hacker’s identity and the whereabouts of their target, it is Lacy who finds herself in danger as she strikes out on her own for answers. In this fourth installment of the Lacy Merrick Thrillers, Robin Mahle continues the action-packed adventure that finds the task force facing a greater threat than ever before, the threat of losing one of their own.
