A murder mystery novel
Death of a Billionaire
Ever dream of killing your boss? Alan Benning knows how you feel.
The problem: his billionaire boss actually winds up murdered. And the whole world thinks he did it.
When globetrotting tech billionaire Barron Fisk is found dead on the floor of his swanky Silicon Valley office, all evidence points to Alan.
Alan must venture into the glitzy, treacherous world of tech billionaires to clear his name by sorting through a long list of suspects with motive aplenty. If he can’t find the real culprit, Alan’s going down. The clock is ticking.
Who killed Barron Fisk? The truth will shock—and change—the entire world.
Fans of Richard Osman’s The Thursday Murder Club series, Carl Hiaasen’s tales of high-stakes hijinx, or Ruth Ware’s page-turning mysteries will love Death of a Billionaire.

The Lemon House Murders
A string of mysterious deaths . . . A house full of suspects . . . A secret that will change everything . . .
When residents of a live-in drug rehabilitation facility called Lemon House start dying one by one, no one in the outside world seems to care.
Two Lemon House patients, nicknamed Trip and Gobstopper, are the only ones who can see the truth: these are murders.
Their quest to find the killer will push their budding relationship to the brink, cast suspicion on everyone locked in the house with them, and force them to question their most cherished beliefs.
The Lemon House Murders is the rare murder mystery that will have you guessing at the culprit AND thinking deeply about theology, society’s relationship toward the downtrodden, and the importance of self-determination to a fulfilling life.
Fans of Agatha Christie, Ruth Ware, and locked-room mysteries of all kinds will LOVE The Lemon House Murders.
