A Band of Terrorists…
And Only Two People Who Can Prevent Armageddon.

Here’s the set-up:
When a doomsday cult captures an U.S. Air Force missile base, it’s up to a lowly sergeant and a female psychiatrist to prevent a nuclear holocaust. That’s the setup of “BALLISTIC,” the chilling new thriller from the Edgar-nominated author of the Jake Lassiter series.
Morale and discipline suffer as missile squadrons are dismantled under a nuclear arms treaty. An Air Force base in Wyoming is ripe for terrorist attack, and it comes from an unexpected source: home-grown religious commandos. Brother David, son of a nuclear physicist, leads a well-armed cult bent on bringing out Armageddon, as prophesied by the Book of Revelations.
Only two people can stop the greatest disaster in the history of mankind: Sergeant Jack Jericho, who is haunted by an act of cowardice in his past, and Dr. Susan Burns, a psychiatrist trapped in the launch control capsule during routine tests of the missile crews. To prevent a nuclear holocaust, these two must work together to defeat the terrorists and to exorcise their own demons.
. A tough Air Force sergeant and a female psychiatrist are all that stand between terrorists and the detonation of a nuclear weapon. “MUCH better writing than anything Tom Clancy has done.”–Shelly Brewster, Lady Trial Lawyer

What’s new? Now on Amazon Kindle: The 20th Anniversary edition of “To Speak for the Dead
Writing in USA TODAY, Larry King called the Lassiter series, “Mystery writing at its very, very best.” All the books are now on Kindle:
To Speak for the Dead
Night Vision
False Dawn
Mortal Sin
Riptide
Fool Me Twice
Flesh & Bones
“It’s part psychological thriller, part military action/adventure. The terrorists aren’t Al Qaeda or the Taliban. They’re home-grown religious commandos who believe the Book of Revelations needs a little human push: Armageddon and all that. There are clever revelations about the two sergeant’s and the shrink’s pasts, and the true target of the nuclear weapon is a surprise. No spoilers here.
