Scott Drayco was a man who had everything going for him: handsome, brilliant, a talented classical pianist in the prime of his youth. After violence scarred him physically and emotionally, he turned to an FBI career and now freelances as a crime consultant, taking on cases other people often don't want to touch. These eight stories of literary suspense delve into the darkest mysteries of the human soul.
In THE DEVIL TO PLAY, Drayco tries to prevent the theft of a rare violin that appears to be cursed
In BLOOD ANTIPHON, a suspected serial killer plays mind games with Drayco, who learns the two men are connected in a most disturbing way
In THE CLUE ROOM, Drayco receives a mysterious invitation from a woman who most people believed died years ago
In the VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH, betrayal leads to attempted murder-by-flash-flood in America's desert southwest
In TERROR OF THE MIND BANDIT, a man with dementia thinks the staff at an assisted living home are trying to kill him, and Drayco begins to suspect there may be something to the man's claims
In THE FINE ART OF JUSTICE, Drayco and the "world's most diminutive attorney," Benny Baskin, get more than they bargained for when they visit a reclusive violinist
In THE TRADITION THIEF, Drayco teams up with a Native American sheriff to find the link between stolen artifacts and the suspicious death of a medicine man
In OUT OF THE CLOUDS, Drayco discovers murder and revenge at 20,000 feet.
