Never Been Found
2018
"Never Been Found is a murder mystery that will soothe your crime-solving, clue-finding itch and delight your inner detective." – Authors Reading The first installment of the Tomas O’Malley Mystery series. Long-time Chicago homicide detective has been working the case of a missing girl with little success. Now, her father has been found executed and a serial killer is leaving a trail of female bodies across the city. Are all these cases related? Who could be behind such a wide spread epidemic of organized crime. As the case unwinds and more bodies stack up, O’Malley must choose between what his gut is telling him, and what the case is being designed to show. Will O’Malley find the killer, or is the killer leading the detective to a deadly frame-up of a young man in over his head? The missing girl may hold the answer, if only she could be found.

Never Been in the Sand, Part 1
2020
The Third installment of the Tomas O'Malley Mystery series. Tomas O'Malley simply wanted to enjoy his 55th birthday with his kids, and maybe a tall McNaughton's. Little did he know a dead body in the shadow of White Sox stadium and a dead CFO in North Chicago would both tie back to Dr. Alan Grove, Chicago's Chief Medical Examiner's husband and President of Manufacturing at one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the country. With millions of dollars at stake and members of the executive team dying each day, O'Malley is caught between pressure from one of his closest friends to clear her husband and what every piece of evidence is telling him. He calls on his old acquaintance from the Moretti case, Marco Filini, to help find the evidence that will either clear Doc G's husband or send him to prison for the rest of his life. A twisted set of adjacent murders cloud the investigation and cause it to get lost, in the sand.
