Police Officer Frank O'Ryan's knee exploded when struck by a bullet from the kid's gun. It was a junk gun, something with duct tape wrapped around the handle. It worked just fine though and Frank was going down.
His sergeant squirmed on the pavement, bleeding out from a gunshot to the chest, begging Frank not to let him die. Frank raised his weapon and fired. One round. Center mass of the suspect's chest. It was just a kid.

One-time amateur boxer Jack Doyle, an irreverent and rebellious advertising account representative, goes to work one fine Chicago day and finds his desk—and his job—both gone. A two-time loser at the marriage game as well, Doyle, usually ultra-confident, fishes himself out of a bottle to take stock, realizing, “with a thumping finality, that Life sure as hell did have his Number and was crunching it.”
At loose ends, Doyle accepts a most unusual offer from an acquaintance, Moe Kellman, to fix a horse race. The context of making the deal, a Cubs game at storied Wrigley Field, sets the tone for the drama that follows. Thus begins a chain of events that will lead the FBI to Doyle’s door where they “coopt” him into a quest after people who are maiming or killing thoroughbred horses for their insurance values. Their number one target is a loathsome media mogul who can’t bear to lose…at anything.
Built upon recent factual events, spiced with satire and peppered throughout with engaging loonies, Blind Switch is a noteworthy first novel with a hero forced to ask in its ultimate line, “Where have I gone right?”

Luke must awaken the Sacred Tree of Life and balance the harmony between human and spirit existence or lives of all will cease to exist. Opposing him is the Manitou, an elk-headed god who has stolen Luke's soul and requires death for its return.
Luke's quest takes him across a land sundered by war and on the verge of miraculous change, far into the realms of once-mythical gods and deep within him to face the demons that have haunted his life.

Mayer follow up Eyes of the Hammer with a pulsing techno-thriller set in June 1989. As Chinese students are dying in Tiananmen Square, the U.S. stages Dragon SIM-13--a routine computer exercise involving a simulated Special Forces raid on a Chinese oil pipeline. But the program has been written by Doctor Meng, a refugee determined to strike a blow against his onetime tormentors in Beijing, and Sgt. Dave Riley and his Green Beret A-team find themselves actually in China, confronting disaster when a helicopter crash leaves half the men stranded in hostile territory. Mayer, an expert on special warfare operations, convincingly presents a situation in which no one in authority can quite believe the sudden connection between computer screens and real life. He equally successfully demonstrates how lower-echelon uncritical obedience to orders can make sense individually but add up to absurdity. The book's greatest strength, however, is its story line. In particular, the final rescue mission--featuring a hotshot female helicopter pilot--is a nail-biter in the best tradition of adventure fiction.

Auburn Longstreet’s Caribbean-based Ponzi scheme took in $300 million at his offshore bank before he was caught.
Thousands of small investors, lured by fanciful and falsified interest rates, lost their life savings, as the slippery six-foot-four con man eschewed restitution. Instead, he spent the bulk of the money on stateside lawyers and crooked politicians who kept him out of jail. He also prudently put aside millions to pay off some favored clients (drug cartels) that would otherwise have cut him into little pieces.
But the greedy Longstreet wasn’t satisfied. He decided to keep $35 million that “rightly” belonged to a New Orleans mob boss – by arranging to have the mobster tried and convicted on financial evidence he secretly supplied the Feds. Even better, the jailed mobster dies in prison thinking it was one of his own crew who turned on him!
Longstreet thought he was in the clear, free to dabble with the mob’s millions in Florida’s distressed real estate market.
Enter the dead mobster’s brutal son, who finds out the truth. He wants to avenge his father – but only after getting back the $35 million.
Add a literate but lethal Government spy, a laconic Las Vegas hit man and a Category 5 storm into the volatile mix and HURRICANE FATS, the first of the Cole Sudden thriller series, builds to a shattering climax.

Damage to a Russian aircraft carrier leads to a breakdown in the detente with the United States. Star wars erupt as the two countries invoke space-based weapons in a deadly face off in orbit.
