Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When art connoisseur Alec Vanderbilt died, he left behind a centuries-old Bible that is a cherished family heirloom, a valuable collectors' piece, and a possible treasure trove of CIA intel from Alec's time with "the Company." So P.I. Jackson Douglas knows reclaiming it for Alec's daughter Abby won't be easy. But should it really be this hard? Complicating matters are a host of government agencies, fake federal agents, spies, ex-girlfriends, and Alec's son-each of whom wants the Bible for various reasons. However, nobody causes Jackson and Abby as much trouble as the mystery woman who joins the hunt with them. Pursuit of the Bible takes them from an opulent downtown L.A. hotel to an art gala on Santa Catalina Island, and from a game of cat-and-mouse aboard Amtrak's Coast Starlight to a snow-covered mountain hideaway. If Jackson is to procure the Bible for Abby, he'll need to stay one step ahead of the entire gang-not to mention stay alive long enough to figure out how to pull it off.

Book excerpt: When Private Investigator Jackson Douglas is approached by "history hunter" Joel Robinson with a legend about Crusader treasure, he is more than a little wary. But Joel seems legitimate and believes in Jackson's investigative skills. And he's paying very well. So Jackson joins Joel and his team in their pursuit to decipher the riddle of "The Holy Trinity," believed to be the key to locating the treasure. Questions loom over the expedition from the beginning. What exactly is the treasure? What power did the Crusaders believe it possessed? Why did they go to such great lengths to conceal it? Who else is after the treasure, and what danger do they pose to the team? And which of his teammates can Jackson trust . . . and which can't he? The quest will take Jackson from a prestigious art gallery in New York City to a secret vault high in the Alps to the very land the Crusaders and Muslims fought over centuries ago, testing his deductive abilities-and his faith-at every turn.

Jackson Douglas wakes in the hospital, attempting to recall the face of the shooter and the events that brought him to the cemetery in the first place. As he recovers, he replays the previous three months, trying to figure out who wants him dead. East Coast mobsters? Corrupt Mexican businessmen? Someone (a scornful starlet, a creepy stalker) from his brief stint working in Hollywood? All of them have motives, but even as he relives his adventures-one of which led him to the cemetery-the pieces refuse to fall into place. Identifying his shooter isn't the only thing on Jackson's mind. For several months, he's been tormented by the choices (and their repercussions) he's made since becoming a private eye. Is it time for him to give up the business for good? Will his quest to find his shooter give him new purpose? And how will he respond when he finds out he may not be the shooter's only target?

The more they learn, the more questions Ray and Lauren have-and the more they fear the worst about Graham. Set against the panorama of the Teton Mountains, Broken Trust explores the lust for power, the relationship between the mystic and the divine, and the depths of loyalty and friendship . . . and ends with a bang!
