Last Rites TOP
(in progress)
#10. Priests are being crucified on inverted crosses in Alaskan churches. On the surface, it appears priests are killing priests. As Tlingit Alaska State Trooper Sergeant Robert Sable starts his investigation, he finds a similar trend across the lower 48 states heading straight for Alaska. It seems that Alaska now has another serial killer. In his path of destruction, a number of priests, blamed for the crime at their church are on death row. Sable must sort out the clues and find the killer before he strikes again.
Conspiracy TOP
(12,000 words/in progress)
#9. A retired Army colonel and disgruntled gubernatorial candidate rounds up men from his old unit, plans to seize control of Alaska and secede from the United States. Alaska State Trooper Robert Sable and his team investigate several bodies on a cargo ship, apparently killed by Sarin gas. On the ship, Sable discovers a hatch from a Nike Hercules missile. As Sable uncovers the plot, he and his team must capture the perpetrators and seize the missiles before the plan is set into action.
Alaskan Dutchman TOP
(in progress)
#8. A prospector’s body is found near the railroad tracks south of Fairbanks. Clutched in his hand is part of a map that could lead to a mine of myth and legend, the Alaskan Dutchman. At his cabin, two bodies are found slumped over their unfinished meals. While investigating the deaths, Tlingit Alaska State Trooper Sergeant Robert Sable finds hidden under the base of the prospector’s fireplace several hundred thousand dollars in gold nuggets the killers missed. The rumors say the prospector had found the Dutchman. Over the last hundred years, men have search and died trying to find it with little success. Now it seems the killers are closing on the mine’s location. As Sable follows the clues, they lead him closer to the killers and mortal danger.
Silent Killer TOP
(In progress)
#7. Bodies are piling up for the class of 2000 and their families. So far all deaths have been ruled accidental. But someone is exacting revenge for perceived bullying and verbal abuse. Sable discovers the trend by accident. Since Sable’s wife is a 2000 graduate, she may be next on the killer’s list. Sable must catch the killer before he strikes again.
Stalker TOP
(64,800 words/296 manuscript pages/finished under revision)
#6. A serial killer, calling himself Anubis, is stalking the cities and highways of Alaska. This killer is more dangerous than Theodore Bundy and Robert Hansen combined. This killer leaves no fingerprints, fibers or DNA. He hides behind numerous stolen identities. Now the stalker has murdered a Seattle police detective. Alaska State Trooper Robert Sable and his team must find the killer before he strikes again.
Lost Legion TOP
(92,000 words/399 manuscript pages/complete. Out to agents)
#5. In Lost Legion, Tlingit Alaska State Trooper Robert Sable is pulled from his honeymoon to investigate the murders of the governor’s brother and the brother’s friends. Clutched in the dead men’s hands are gold coins imprinted with the likeness of Augustus Caesar. As the trooper follows the clues, he realizes a myth that Roman soldiers settled in Alaska more than 2,000 years ago may be true. Closing in, he comes face to face with the architect of the murders, a village chieftain who is a descendent of the Romans. The descendents have set into motion a plot to take over the halls of power in Alaska and Washington, D.C. Even the current governor unknowingly is being used as a pawn to achieve this aim. It is up to Sable and his team to foil the plot and put the chief and his fellow conspirators behind bars.
Dark Gold TOP BUY
(71,200 words/published 2002)
#4. Two bodies are found in Prince William Sound -- a frozen one wearing a WWII pilot’s uniform, another killed within the last few days. The plane carried a shipment of gold lost during the war. Tlingit Alaska State Trooper Sergeant Robert Sable follows the clues as the body count rises, and he finds death awaits anyone with knowledge of the shipment. One by one, the clues lead Sable closer to the killer and the gold.
Dark Shaman TOP BUY
(68,000 words/published 2003)
#3. Most Alaskans have heard rumors of powerful ancient shamans. Dark Shaman turns that legend into a fast-paced murder mystery in which Tlingit Alaska State Trooper Sergeant Robert Sable, along with help from the FBI, investigates the ritualistic deaths of school children. Rumors hint to an absurd idea that the children were slaughtered by Auktelchnīk, a powerful evil shaman who has been somehow resurrected. As more bodies turn up, Sable and his partners try to find the connections between the victims and their killer by interrogating local rapists, pedophiles and sexual deviants. Now someone is killing off the suspects one by one. Is this a new killer, an irate parent or someone else? Along the way, Sable encounters a bold seduction, a barroom brawl and a bevy of nasty characters who could only be found in Alaska.
Dark Soul TOP BUY
(69,000 words/published 2002)

When his investigation gets him into trouble with the troopers, his chief assigns him to a Fish and Game stakeout in the Alaskan wilderness. Intent on stopping the mob boss responsible for the hit on his family, Sable invites his enemy for a final confrontation. When the meeting goes wrong, Sable must run for his life with the mob close behind.
