The first three books in the #1 bestselling Jim Knighthorse series of detective novels! Written in the tradition of Robert B. Parker's Spenser and Raymond Chandler's Philip Marlowe, Dark Horse and The Mummy Case introduce a hard-hitting, wise-cracking hero with a modern twist.

DARK HORSE (Book 1)

When high school student Derrick Booker, the only black student at a posh Orange County high school, is accused of killing his white girlfriend, ex-college football hero and detective Jim Knighthorse is hired to dig a little deeper into the murder.

It doesn't take long for Knighthorse to realize that not all is as it seems at tranquil Huntington High, from a band director who preys on the innocent to a vice-principal with a secret agenda of her own. Not to mention someone's hired a professional killer to keep Knighthorse permanently off the case. As the investigation continues, Knighthorse's personal life is shattered by the discovery of new evidence relating to his mother's unsolved murder, a murder dating back twenty years. Reeling from the discovery, a determined Jim Knighthorse sets out to bring two killers to justice.

THE MUMMY CASE (Book 2)

Private investigator Jim Knighthorse takes on a very, very cold case. When historian Willie Clarke dies of mysteriously of dehydration in the California deserts, ex-football hero Jim Knighthorse is hired to dig a little deeper?and discovers a shocking connection to one of the West's oldest mysteries.

Over a hundred years ago, an unnamed cowboy was murdered in the California desert and, due to freak weather conditions, would become mummified within twenty-four hours. Now known to the world as Sylvester the Mummy and displayed in a creepy curiosity shop, Sylvester and historian Willie Clarke will be forever linked in mystery. That is, unless private investigator Jim Knighthorse can survive long enough to untangle one of the West's greatest unsolved murders.

HAIL MARY (Book 3)

He doesn't scare easily, and he doesn't back down -- especially when the victims can't speak for themselves. Private Investigator Jim Knighthorse takes on Heidi Mann's case, convinced her missing boyfriend was murdered by shark poachers who use live animals as bait. When Mitch Golden's body turns up shot and dumped in the ocean, Jim is pulled into a deadly world of smuggling, threats, and greed stretching from California's piers to Mexico's backwater docks.

With local cops avoiding trouble and the Feds refusing to get involved, the killers think Knighthorse won't risk his neck for a lost cause. They're wrong. This ex-football star with a ruined leg has his own code -- and he'll fight to expose the truth, no matter how ruthless the enemy.
