Good or evil, reward or punishment, justice or revenge, who decides? Today we have laws, people sworn to enforce those laws and a legal system which decides the guilt or innocence of an individual and the manner of punishment. But what if a crime is not punished? What if the evil act goes unnoticed? What then? Who decides what is evil? NO DEED UNPUNISHED explores such a quandary. Here a deed committed for all the right intentions is seen in the end as evil and must be punished. But what if the individual who makes this decision is the product of an evil act himself. Might he not be seen as a bad seed, and therefore unqualified to make these decisions? Unfortunately there is no one to counsel or stop this individual before embarking on a mission to punish the evildoer. Enter New York City Homicide Detective John Straub, assigned to solve a series of heinous crimes committed against seemingly innocent and unrelated women. The only thing these women seem to have in common is that they all have infant sons. So why have they been targeted? Detective Straub and his partner/lover, Detective Nancy Mooney will be called upon to use all their skills and experience to stop the killer before he strikes again. What neither of the detectives realize is that the killer is closer then they think.

A good Samaritan’s actions send her own plummeting into chaos in this debut thriller for fans of Harlan Coben and Lisa Gardner. Driving home one rainy night, Cassie Larkin sees a man and woman fighting on the side of the road. After calling 911, she makes a split-second decision that will throw her suburban life into chaos. Against the dispatcher’s advice, she gets out of her minivan and confronts the attacker. That’s when he turns on her and spits out a chilling ultimatum: “Let her die, and I’ll let you live.” A veterinarian trained to heal, Cassie can’t let the woman die. But while she’s examining the unconscious victim, the attacker steals her car. Now he has her name. Her address. And he knows about her children. Though they warn her to be careful, the police assure her that the perpetrator won’t get near her. Cassie isn’t so sure. The next day—Halloween—her husband disappears while trick-or-treating with their six-year-old daughter. Are these disturbing events a coincidence or the beginning of a horrifying nightmare? Her husband has been growing distant—is it possible he’s become involved with another woman? Is Cassie’s confrontation with the road-side attacker connected to her husband’s disappearance? With these questions swirling in her mind Cassie can trust no one, maybe not even herself. The only thing she knows for sure is that she can’t sit back while the people she loves are in danger. As she desperately searches for answers, Cassie discovers that nothing is as random as it seems, and that she is more than willing to fight—to go to the most terrifying extremes—to save her family.
