In his first novel which could be ripped from today's headlines, former CIA officer, Duane Evans plunges readers into the dangerous and uncertain world of Tarek Durrani, a westernized Pakistani intelligence operative who races to stop an attack against India by a deadly terrorist group. If the attack succeeds it will lead to an all out war between India and Pakistan with nuclear ramifications for the entire world. Of more immediate concern to Durrani, the attack also will take the life of the beautiful Indian architect who has cracked the combination to his soul. As the terrorist plot unfolds, Durrani plays out one last deadly game, putting his cold, practiced intelligence skills to the ultimate test. North From Calcutta is "a great tale of today's espionage and terror" says Cofer Black, former chief of the CIA's Counterterrorist Center. Hayden Peake, book reviewer, author, and curator of CIA's Historical Intelligence Collection describes the book as "an elegant example of espionage fiction." Says Richard Blake of Reader Views, "Evans is pioneering a new approach to the genre of espionage, intrigue and adventure novels. His handling of a Muslim hero, a Hindu heroine, in a setting of Islamic extremist activity is superb and destined to be the pacesetter for other writers in this time of explosive terrorist threat." National Best Selling author of "First In", Gary Schroen declares "the author takes us deep into the underside of Pakistan's intelligence services, where nationalism clashes with Islamic fundamentalism, as radical elements plot against India-with nuclear war hanging in the balance. Plot twists, well developed characters, settings that bring you the feel and smell of South Asia, this is a page-turning, exciting ride."

Sometimes, the truth can only be told through fiction...
eye of the god takes the fascinating history surrounding the Hope Diamond and weaves it together with a present-day plot to steal the jewel from the Smithsonian Institute.
We follow Alex and Isaac Weld, the most lucrative jewel thieves in the world, in their quest to steal the gem, which according to legend was once the eye of a Hindu idol named Rama Sita. When it was stolen in the 17th century, it is said that the idol cursed all those who would possess it. That won’t stop the brilliant and ruthless Weld brothers.
However, they are not prepared for Dr. Abigail Mitchell, the beautiful Smithsonian Director, who has her own connection to the Hope Diamond and a deadly secret to keep. Abby committed long ago that she would not serve a god made with human hands, and the “eye of the god” is no exception. Her desire is not for wealth, but for wisdom. She seeks not power, but restoration.

When the dust settles over the last great adventure of the Hope Diamond, readers will understand the “curse” that has haunted its legacy is nothing more than the greed of evil men who bring destruction upon themselves. No god chiseled from stone can direct the fates of humankind, nor can it change the course of God’s story.

When high school student Derrick Booker, the only black student at a posh Orange County high school, is accused of killing his white girlfriend, ex-college football hero and detective Jim Knighthorse is hired to dig a little deeper into the murder. It doesn't take long for Knighthorse to realize that not all is as it seems at tranquil Huntington High, from a band director who preys on the innocent to a vice-principal with a secret agenda of her own. Not to mention someone's hired a professional killer to keep Knighthorse permanently off the case. As the investigation continues, Knighthorse's personal life is shattered by the discovery of new evidence relating to his mother's unsolved murder, a murder dating back twenty years.

THE MUMMY CASE
Private investigator Jim Knighthorse (from DARK HORSE) takes on a very, very cold case. When historian Willie Clarke dies of mysteriously of dehydration in the California deserts, ex-football hero Jim Knighthorse is hired to dig a little deeper — and discovers a shocking connection to one of the West's oldest mysteries. Over a hundred years ago, an unnamed cowboy was murdered in the California desert and, due to freak weather conditions, would become mummified within twenty-four hours.

That is, unless private investigator Jim Knighthorse can survive long enough to untangle one of the West's greatest unsolved murders.
ELVIS HAS NOT LEFT THE BUILDING
It's tough being the King. Which is why in 1977 Elvis fakes his own death and endures massive facial reconstruction surgery, disappearing from the limelight to live a normal life as the unassuming Aaron King. Unfortunately, leaving fame behind also meant leaving his fortune behind, and now Elvis finds himself broke, living in near poverty in a small apartment in Los Angeles. Luckily for him, it turns out he's a pretty good private investigator. Not to mention, he misses his first love, music, and has thoughts of making a comeback. Discreetly, of course. But one thing at a time. First he has to solve a baffling missing person case, in which a young starlet, at the beginning of a promising career, has disappeared off the face of the earth. As Elvis digs deeper, he finds himself surrounded by the seedier elements of Los Angeles, from nefarious Hollywood producers who prey on the young, to twin brothers with a dark secret. Ultimately, Elvis discovers a truth almost too horrible to imagine. And through it all, Elvis Presley slowly makes his singing comeback — only to be reunited on stage with someone even the King himself never dreamed possible.

Seven months ago forty-nine-year old Rose Henn awoke without a memory. Without a name. Her mind as blank as an unpainted canvas, the amnesia a result of a temporal lobe brain injury. An injury she cannot remember. When did it happen? Where? How?
With the help of her son, Thomas, she has successfully created a new life in Oro Sueño—a private community in a southeastern corner of New Mexico. Not knowing what food she likes to eat, what books she likes to read, her favorite perfume, her preference for anything has made each day a challenge. But a challenge that Rose has met. In seven months she has created a new life, became someone who might or might not be totally different from the woman she was before the accident, and fallen in love.
Her life seems perfect…
Until the dreams begin. Are they snippets of memories surfacing or nothing more than vivid dreams?
Suddenly innocent events, such as a white van driving down her street, send her into a panicked state. When these things happen, one single thought echoes in her mind: They will take me!
Rose believes if she knew more about her past the panic and anxiety attacks would cease. Unfortunately her psychiatrist has forbidden her son from telling her anything.

As she begins to piece together the crazy quilt of her past, her present takes on a menacing aspect when a body is discovered murdered in the town square.
Within days of finding the body and reports of prowlers, Rose’s home is broken into, strange items left behind. She begins hearing voices in the middle of the night.
Are these events manifestations of her damaged brain? Or is her life in immanent danger?
The more she discovers about herself, she begins to doubt those around her.

A Manhattan financier has a bad day trading, and returns to his penthouse and drowns his miseries in a bottle of scotch. While drinking, he dozes off, and his five year old daughter makes her way to the pool and drowns. When he awakes and discovers her body, he and his 2nd wife at the time panic: he’s drunk and she’s high. They think the police might hold them accountable. They decide to bury her body out on the Island and make it look like a kidnapping: he takes the body alone. While he’s driving, he’s pulled over by the police and his daughter’s lifeless body is found. He’s eventually sentenced to twenty years in prison. While in prison, he discovers an article about his 2nd wife’s old roommate, a woman who died of a drug overdose. Because he’s a wealthy man, and because of that article, he believes maybe his 2nd wife (now divorced while in prison), might’ve killed his daughter and made it look like an accident, to get his money. He calls upon the two prominent lawyers from the Drayton case in Montauk, Long Island (The Montauk Murder Mystery), William Parkland and Catherine Huntington, to see if they’ll take his cause up. But many obstacles are standing in his way: he gave away all his money and assets to his 2nd ex-wife—so he has no money to hire them out, William’s not sure if his 2nd ex-wife is innocent or not and has major issues with him because he was drinking while he was on his daughter’s watch, and his 2nd ex-wife turned out to be a lesbian whose fake alibi for the night the drowning took place is a highly suspect woman. Catherine wants to get to the bottom of things, but there seems to be loose ends everywhere, and because of this, it might cancel out his chances of them taking the case. When things come to light—when the facts of the case are laid out plain and simple, it’s a matter of interpretation as to why such an event could’ve or would’ve happened—to the undiscerning mind. But to the discerning mind, it makes perfect sense. Literary fiction; mystery, suspense and law: with philosophical, psychological, social and theological arches.

Thwarted by internal CIA politics, they put their careers at risk to engage in an unauthorized consultation with Jason, the secret group of physicists who consult for the government. Astrophysicist Alex Runyan advances a fantastic theory that triggers a race for the truth before the conflict with Russia can spin out of control. The quest leads to the New Mexico laboratory of Paul Krone. The true danger dwarfs that posed by the international crisis. Bonus links to historical background material are provided at the end of the book. The Krone saga continues in the sequel, Krone Ascending, also available for Kindle.
