  The Erin Solomon Mystery Series

  The Critically Acclaimed 5-Book Series

  Readers Can’t Put Down!

  Book I: All the Blue-Eyed Angels

  Jonestown. The Solar Temple. Heaven’s Gate. In the summer of 1990, the Payson Church of Tomorrow joins the ranks of those infamous cult suicides when thirty-four members burn to death on a small island off the coast of Maine. At ten years old, Payson member Erin Solomon watches helplessly as the church and its congregation are reduced to ash and embers.

  More than twenty years later, Erin is an accomplished investigative journalist when she receives word that she has inherited Payson Isle... and all its ghosts. She returns to Maine to learn the truth behind the tragedy that has haunted her since childhood, aided by the rakish mentor who’s stood by her side since she was a teenager, her trusty mutt Einstein, and a mysterious stranger with his own dark past.

  Soon, Erin is enmeshed in a decades-old conspiracy rooted in lust, delusion, and betrayal, as she fights to unearth the secrets of the Payson Church of Tomorrow -- secrets someone will kill to keep buried.

  Book II: Sins of the Father

  The brutal murder of a young girl more than forty years ago pulls Erin Solomon into a serpentine mystery revolving around her own father’s dark past. Soon, it’s clear that the man Erin thought she knew has buried secrets she never could have imagined. When her reckless pursuit of the truth lands Erin and Diggs in the rugged wilderness along the Maine/Canada border with a deranged serial killer on their heels, FBI agent Jack Juarez battles the clock while Diggs and Erin fight for their lives in a diabolical game of cat and mouse among the rivers and caves of the Acadian forest.

  Book III: Southern Cross

  The four horsemen are at the gate in Justice, Kentucky.

  Diggs and Solomon travel to Kentucky to look into the bizarre ritual murder of one of Diggs’ oldest friends. But that single death is hardly the only bizarre occurrence in Justice: soon, power outages, explosions, standoffs, and conspiracy rock the small town, and fundamentalist preacher Jesup T. Barnel claims he knows the reason for the madness: The end times are upon them, and judgment will be fast and furious as the clock winds down.

  Book IV: Before the After

  Questions answered. Lies revealed.

  And someone will pay the ultimate price in Erin’s

  ongoing quest for the truth...

  Using a code found on an encrypted memory card at the scene of their last case, Diggs and Solomon are closer than ever to discovering the truth behind the Payson Church and the mystery that’s haunted Erin since childhood. BEFORE THE AFTER takes readers on a journey into some of the darkest mysteries in American history, in an action-packed romantic thriller that will leave you breathless!

  Book V: The Book of J

  In the shocking conclusion to the Erin Solomon Pentalogy, Diggs and Solomon return to Littlehope, Maine, after nine months on the run when they learn their hometown may be the next target of the mysterious organization that has plagued them for the past two years. Battleworn but determined to see justice done, the embittered reporters reunite with FBI agent Jack Juarez to at last learn the truth about each of their pasts. On New Year’s Eve with a blizzard ravaging the tiny coastal town, Erin must go head to head with someone pulled straight from her darkest nightmares, in order to save those she loves and at last put the ghosts of her childhood to rest.

  Acknowledgments

  As with all of my books, there’s a very long list of people to thank here for guidance, information, and support. Special thanks to Janet Marie Cyr, who continues to help shape my writing and find holes that I invariably miss. My deepest gratitude to Sergeant Don Finnegan, who always has the answers—and if he doesn’t, never hesitates to pick up the phone or drop a line to find someone who does. Thanks to my agent, Dara Hyde, for weighing in on drafts and cover designs and generally supporting me in this distinctly non-traditional writing and publishing journey; to my family, for alternately lifting me up when I’m down and keeping me grounded when I start getting carried away with my dreams; to David Gallaher, for serving as sounding board, mentor, and—most importantly—friend; and to the Blood Brigade and all the other Erin Solomon fans out there who have been so incredibly gracious since this whole thing began. And to Ben, who didn’t throw in the towel even after I delayed our first date to finish this blasted book... Thank you. For the pie, the laughter, the walking and the talking and, most importantly, for reminding me that there is life beyond my six-day work week and five-year plan.
