While investigating a gang related murder in London's rough streets, veteran cop DCI Michael Harvey is shot after stumbling across something much bigger. Ten months later, he finds himself planted in the NYPD's homicide department as a cover for his investigation into a global weapon smuggling ring.
Rookie Detective Victoria Petras finds her life completely thrown out of balance when she is suddenly taken from her comfy position working Cyber Crime and pushed to the front working Homicide. She finds herself partnered with the gruff Brit DCI Harvey as they both try to learn the ropes while investigating the shooting of a courier in an alleyway.
As they sift through a mire of Sex, Theft, and Deceit, it's up to this unlikely duo to crack the case and prove their worth.
This is the first episode of Petras and Harvey, a series of short crime thrillers with recurrent themes running through multiple books, just like your favorite crime drama (whichever one that is.)

Lucy had been nineteen. A bartender. Homeless. She had to work to survive. And that's when she met him. He looked charming. Inviting. He asked her out. She said yes. And that changed everything. He kidnapped her. She knew his name - Caleb. She still sees his face. Everywhere. She doesn't remember how she escaped. Doesn't know how she got out. But she knows one thing: He's still out there.

The Crimson Spotlight (Book 1)
Detective Elias Voss never wanted to be center stage-until a killer made him the star of a twisted play. In the rain-drenched shadows of a crumbling city, a young woman's throat is slashed, her sequined dress a glittering shroud, a black rose pinned to her chest like a macabre boutonnière. The note left behind is a taunt, a curtain call addressed to Detective Elias Voss: "The first act begins. Curtains up, Detective." At twenty-four, Elias is a prodigy with a mind sharper than the killer's blade-shy, devastatingly handsome, and more comfortable with corpses than compliments. He's paired with Mara Quinn, a rookie officer whose wit is as quick as her courage, and together they're thrust into a case that's equal parts theater and terror. The crime scene is a stage, the murder a performance, and the killer a director with a penchant for blood and bravado. As Elias and Mara unravel the clues-a glitzy party, a shadowy figure in a hoodie, a trail of crimson-they realize this is no isolated act. It's the opening night of a deadly series, and Elias is the unwilling lead in a script written by a psychopath. With dark humor as their shield and the spotlight burning hotter with every move, they must catch the curtain before it falls-on them. Perfect for fans of twisted mysteries and unlikely heroes, The Crimson Spotlight is the first act in a gripping new series where every clue is a line, every death a scene, and the finale is far from guaranteed.Complete
