After NYPD K-9 cop Erin O'Reilly and her German Shepherd Rolf stumble into the middle of a botched art heist, Erin finds herself wearing the coveted gold shield of a detective, working with Major Crimes. The cases are bigger, the stakes are higher, and the dangers are ever-present.

The first five books of the Erin O'Reilly Mysteries follow Erin as the freshly-minted detective and her loyal dog face off against New York's underworld. It's a cocktail of crime, starring a heroine with "a good sense of humor, and a whole lot of heart" (Amazon review of "Blackout" by M. Hughes).

Book 1: Black Velvet – A stolen painting leads Erin and Rolf into a decades-old mystery of shady art dealers, street thugs, and bloodstained canvas.

Book 2: Irish Car Bomb – A low-level gangster is blown up in his car, bringing Erin and Rolf into close contact with New York's Irish Mob and Erin's own family history.

Book 3: White Russian – When a teenage hooker and a diamond dealer are gunned down at a motel, Erin and Rolf tangle with a nasty gang of human traffickers.

Book 4: Double Scotch – A pair of dead smugglers dumped into the East River; a cagey Irish gunrunner; a beautiful young woman posed, dead, in a locked hotel suite. Erin and Rolf juggle two parallel cases, matching wits with a diabolical serial killer and a vicious assassin.

Book 5: Manhattan – An old enemy returns with an explosive plan to tear New York City apart, as Erin, Rolf, and their allies race against time to stop a terrorist plot.
