Tonk Jr. was odd-man-out at the Ciphers' plantation. Didn't like to fight. Preferred to read. Kept to himself. Until his calling came for him. Now he's in New York City. Studying to help people for a living When he finds a bruise on a new mother's arm One she absolutely does not want him to see. Cocker Brothers: Very adult. Written chronologically. Best enjoyed in order as each novel builds on the last and clues are left throughout, but all standalones - if you prefer to bounce around, you won't get lost.
