He's a hero with a heart, a conscience, and just enough combat experience to make the bad guys nervous

Jesse Yates, ex-Navy SEAL, a warrior
learning how to live in peace...until peace refuses to cooperate...

He survived the battlefields of Iraq only to discover that civilian life can be
just as dangerous. Now an investigator for Palm Court Detectives in Mobile, Alabama, Jesse faces terrorists beneath the Mobile River, murderous thugs hiding deep in
Delta swamps, powerful men with deadly secrets, and desperate people with
nowhere left to run.

Palm Court Detectives—not just another thriller series

Combining authentic
detective work, unforgettable characters, military realism, and the unique
atmosphere of Alabama's Gulf Coast, it’s a series readers have called "hard
to put down," "a must-read," and "one of my top ten
favorite series."

Sometimes the hard road is
the only option.
