The Directive Novels
Across the cities where money rewrites the rules, a covert team is sent after the crimes too embedded, too respectable, too useful to touch. They make no arrests and take no credit — they drag the buried truth into daylight, then disappear.
Reckon Broderick
A Western saga of justice, loyalty, and the long shadow of violence on the American frontier. Reckon rides through a brutal landscape where law is thin, enemies are patient, and the truth behind his family’s murder refuses to stay buried.
Marcus Romano
In modern San Francisco, Detective Marcus Romano follows the evidence where others stop. Methodical and relentless, he uncovers truths powerful people work hardest to keep hidden.
