A KILLING SKY
The Anthony Award-nominated second novel in the Frank Pavlicek series. Pavlicek is hired by the daughter of a philandering Virginia Congressman to find her missing twin sister. Is her disappearance related to her disintegrating relationship with her boyfriend? Or is it somehow connected to her ambitious father’s re-election campaign, a tawdry sex scandal, and a hit-and-run accident that happened twenty years ago? Pavlicek’s investigation unearths long-buried secrets that someone would like to keep six feet under…along with the PI’s corpse.
A COLD QUARRY
An expert falconer is shot in the back in the wilds of West Virginia. The police believe he was the victim of a hunting accident but PI Frank Pavlicek, a falconer himself, isn’t buying the story. Beatings, bombings, warnings from the FBI, and the arrest of his best friend on trumped-up charges only strengthen Pavlicek’s resolve to follow a bloody trail of lies and corpses that leads to a chilling, terrorist conspiracy.
A NIGHT FALCONER

But he soon discovers that there’s more at stake than cats and condos, pitting him against a sadistic street gang and a killer prowling Central Park with a great horned owl.
