Facing A Twisted Judgment
2018
Guilty until proven Innocent What happens when tunnel vision clouds a police investigation? Is it true that once you are labeled a person of interest you really are the prime suspect? Can you trust the legal system? Probably not. After a bitterly contested legal battle over inherited property, the hard-won art collection and its owner Samantha Bennington disappear. Both have vanished without a trace. When blood spatter is discovered under the freshly painted wall of the room in which two of the paintings were hung, the theft becomes the opening act in a twisted tale of jealousy, revenge, and murder leading to a final judgment for all involved. As the list of suspects narrows, the focus lands squarely on the husband. Some labeled Samantha’s husband a corrupt attorney, others an opportunist. Either way, he’s in the crosshairs of law enforcement and they are calling him a murderer. But is he the only viable suspect? What about the missing woman’s drug-addicted sister and her convicted felon brother? Both were furious over their loss at court and have more than enough reason to hate Samantha. Guilty until proven innocent leaves Alexander Clarke facing a twisted judgment.

Duality
2019
Two sides of the same coin. Completely alike. Completely different. Two people living as one. No DNA could ever tie the murderer to the crime. No fingerprints would ever incriminate the true killer. The perfect crime had been committed. What started out as a normal art restoration project for Melinda Martin soon took on a life of its own. Could this unusual painting which her friend an art- connoisseur brought back from a recent trip to Italy, actually be a Botticelli masterpiece thought to have perished as part of Savonarola’s Bonfire of the Vanities? A painting that made it all the more valuable if indeed his blood was immersed within the paint. When the work of art goes missing and the two women are found dead, the police think it’s an open and shut case. The husband - it’s always the husband. He had means, motive, and opportunity, and acted strangely cold after the fact. The man had secrets of his own, and lots of them. Does something from his clandestine past put Mr. Martin in the crosshairs of an assassin sent to retrieve the painting? Or is he really a sociopath forger with mysterious ties to the Vatican? Just when you think you’ve figured it all out, you’ll learn how wrong you’ve been. A thriller that will keep you on the edge of the seat guessing until the very end.
