A Striking Similarity - Book 1 in The Ottawa Detective Series.
The first murder was a tragedy.
The second was a mystery.
The third was an epiphany.
Detective Terry Millar doesn't believe in coincidences. As a criminal profiler, he's built his reputation on identifying patterns and perpetrators. But he's never encountered a killer like this.
Millar and his team are being led on a macabre treasure hunt around the city of Ottawa, and they're desperate to find a connection between the crimes before the killer strikes again.
The murders bear a striking similarity to one another, which should make it easier for the renowned profiler, but the evidence seems to point in an impossible direction.
With every secret that's revealed, Millar is a step closer to realizing that nothing will ever be the same again.

Reserved for Murder - Book 2 of The Ottawa Detective Series.
Everyone has a secret.
And some people will go to any length to keep theirs.
When the body of a teenage boy is found hanging from a homemade noose, deep in the woods outside of a First Nations reserve, it casts a dark shadow over the community during their annual harvest powwow. For the Ottawa Detectives, the evidence doesn’t add up. The deeper they delve into their investigation, the more questions they uncover.
Was Jonny Two Bears’ death merely another tragedy in a string of teen suicides? And why does the reserve’s Chief seem more interested in meeting with the media than mourning with the community?
The detectives are determined to find the answers before another child dies, and they're willing to use every resource they have available. Unfortunately, the mastermind always seems to be one step ahead, and all they can do is try to follow the tracks.
There’s something evil in the woods.

The Art of Murder - Book 3 of The Ottawa Detective Series.
It's not often that Detective Sue Penner gets a night out on the town. She’s thrilled to be the Captain’s plus one at a prestigious art gala, but her enjoyment is cut short when the event’s host fails to make an appearance. When his body is pulled from the Ottawa River later that night, it offers more questions than answers.
Mark Williams was a personal friend of the Captain’s, and Detectives Penner and Millar are determined to find out how and why he died. But it won’t be easy. They’ll need to play nice with the local RCMP—easier said than done. After a run-in with an unusually combative and secretive inspector, Penner and Millar know they need to find an ally within the ranks of the RCMP. It’s obvious the rogue inspector knows something about Mark that led to his death, but he seems to be more concerned with forcing Penner and Millar off the case than working together to solve it.
Penner and Millar are working blind. They have no witnesses. They have no motive. They can’t even be sure of the cause of death. But the more they uncover, the more sure they are of one thing—nothing is as it seems.
And appearances can be deceiving.
