A Cuban detective’s quest for vengeance against her father’s killer leads her to a mysterious Colorado mountain town in this intense crime thriller. A man is killed in a hit-and-run on a frozen mountain road in the town of Fairview, Colorado. He is an illegal immigrant in a rich Hollywood resort community not unlike Telluride. No one is prosecuted for his death and his case is quietly forgotten. Six months later another illegal makes a treacherous run across the border. Barely escaping with her life and sanity intact, she finds work as a maid with one of the employment agencies in Fairview. Secretly, she begins to investigate the shadowy collision that left her father dead. The maid isn’t a maid. And she’s not Mexican, either. She’s Detective Mercado, a police officer from Havana, and she’s looking for answers: Who killed her father? Was it one of the smooth-talking Hollywood types? Was it a minion of the terrifying county sheriff? And why was her father, a celebrated defector to the United States, hiding in Colorado as the town ratcatcher?

His wife, state police trooper Tessa Leoni, claims to have shot him in self-defense, and bears the bruises to back up her tale. For veteran detective D. D. Warren it should be an open-and-shut case. But where is their six-year-old daughter? AND HOW FAR WOULD YOU GO . . . As the homicide investigation ratchets into a frantic statewide search for a missing child, D. D. Warren must partner with former lover Bobby Dodge to break through the blue wall of police brotherhood, seeking to understand the inner workings of a trooper’s mind while also unearthing family secrets.

She is walking a tightrope, with nowhere to turn, no one to trust, as the clock ticks down to a terrifying deadline. She has one goal in sight, and she will use every ounce of her training, every trick at her disposal, to do what must be done. No sacrifice is too great, no action unthinkable.

A surgeon charged with double homicide is out to clear his name in this debut thriller from the USA Today–bestselling author of the Karen Veil series. Dr. Phillip Madison has everything: wealth, power, and an impeccable reputation. But in the pre-dawn hours of a quiet California suburb, the revered orthopedic surgeon is charged with double homicide—a cold-blooded hit-and-run that has left an innocent young couple dead. Blood evidence has brought the police to his door. An eyewitness has placed him at the crime scene . . . and Madison has no alibi. With his family torn apart, his career forever damaged, no way to prove his innocence, and facing life in prison, Madison hires an investigator to find the person who has engineered the case against him. As his privileged world is brought crashing down by a psychotic seductress, as family and friends abandon him, Madison’s only hope for vindication rests in revealing a truth at the heart of a lie. It is a disclosure that could cost him more than he ever imagined. False Accusations is a psychological thriller that instantly became a national bestseller and launched Alan Jacobson’s career, a novel that spurred CNN to call him “one of the brightest stars in the publishing industry.”

Man is a communal animal. He enjoys and often seeks out friendship. He bonds with his fellow-man and woman out of an intrinsic desire for companionship. For most men, having this companionship and friendship in their lives is a natural part of their existence. It helps to give them a sense of purpose and makes them feel more connected to their environment. But what happens when a man's environment becomes one that places no value on friendship? What happens when his environment becomes so harsh that it cherishes no bond? What happens when friends, lovers, and even family are set against one another in a never-ending struggle to survive? What type of animal will man become then? By following Money (the central character in Let it Rain) through the streets of his hood, southern streets which once blossomed with hospitality; we will see how the scourge of drugs and the lure of fast cars, and even faster women, transformed what was an environment of southern hospitality into an environment of southern hell. We will see how Money and his three best friends Boe, Black and Snake deal with the challenges of friendship, loyalty, love, and responsibility. We will watch while the desire to escape their chaotic environment transforms some from youngsters into men , while others are transformed into monsters. What would you do to gain and keep a Colombian drug connection that promised to make you richer than you had ever imagined? Would you betray your friends and loved ones? Ask yourself that question but don't try to answer it until after you have read Let it Rain: It's like Butter Baby.
