Dead Space By

Dead Space The raunchy, outrageous, laugh-out-loud thriller from Lee Goldberg, #1 New York Times bestselling author of True Fiction and Lost Hills.

Ex-cop Charlie Willis handles "special security" at Pinnacle Pictures. His job: to protect the studio and its stars, to stop scandals before they explode, to keep the peace in the land of make-believe. When Pinnacle revives the cult, 1960s TV series Beyond the Beyond as the cornerstone of a fourth network, two powerful forces fight for control of the show—a talent agency that uses blackmail, torture, and murder to keep its clients on the A-list, and a homicidal legion of rabid fans led by an insane actor who thinks he's in outer space.

McGRAVE By

McGRAVE Los Angeles cop John "Tidal Wave" McGrave is an unstoppable force of nature who always gets his man...even if it means laying waste to everything around him, including his own career...which is exactly what happens in his pursuit of Sebastian Richter, the ruthless leader of an international gang of violent thieves.

Swamp Fire By

Hank Samson comes home from the WWII to find his half-crazed father terrorizing their Louisiana bayou town...and his brutish brother running amok with lust and violence. But Hank has seen a better way to live and now has to choose beween running away with the girl he loves...or staying and fighting his own family.

Good Time Girl By

Good Time Girl Jack Candless is a drunken, cynical, 32-year-old newspaper reporter who covers a rape case in a small, Louisiana town, hoping the sordid story of a sweet, innocent young woman being brutally violated in a rice field will make national headlines, saving his career and his marriage. Instead, he discovers nothing is what it seems, and that a far more frightening story of raw lust and corruption is buried in the dark, violent heart of the bayou. 

Paula By

Paula A scorching, twist-filled thriller that evokes both James M. Cain's The Postman Always Rings Twive and Erskine Caldwell's Tobacco Road.

Joe Carter works as a rigger for rich Houston oil magnate Sam Forsythe and falls for Paula, his boss' seductive young wife. But she gets pregnant and draws Joe into a murder plot that will either make them both rich... or put him in an early grave with a knife in his back.
