Like dark thrillers? DARK FORCES (84,000 words) pits a flawed forensic examiner and a questionable police detective against a ruthless creature mentored by a serial killer.

In DARK FORCES, a dark thriller, Dr. Amanda Christensen, a forensics specialist spends her days and nights in Sarasota, FL., helping battered women and bringing their attackers to justice and must stay a step ahead of the man who brutalized her when she was seventeen who may be after her again. While she seeks the vicious murderer who killed her best friend and countless other women, she battles with Lt. Joe Paladin, the homicide detective in charge, who doubts his ability to conduct a case now that he's resigned from his NYC post after a questionable experience with the homicide of a young girl. As Amanda and Joe move closer to the terrifying motive that underlies these murders, the killer brings all his dark forces into the open.
