In the first book of the series, Callie discovers that her bartender, Cash Logan, is smuggling erotic ivory carvings, netsuke, into her restaurant. Callie pitches a fit, has him arrested, then famously says, “When you get out of jail, don’t ever come back here.” Two years later, Callie’s ex-husband, a French investigative reporter, is almost killed when he shows up at her restaurant, after a 14-year absence, asking for her help. Callie has no choice but to take on an unlikely ally — Cash. Together, this improbable, incompatible team must join forces to save her ex, her business, and ultimately their own lives.

“One of the most accomplished elements of this highly entertaining novel is the way that the action hinges on the emotional and interpersonal arc of the story rather than the plot twists themselves.” – Reader’s Favorite

In Rough Justice, Callie and Cash are back – and their world is about to explode.

The scene is set as Callie and Cash are eating a late dinner at her restaurant, The Bronze Pig. It’s been a year since they saved her ex-husband’s life and faced unexpected, terrifying adversaries. During that process — confronting kidnapping, murder and the destruction of her restaurant — they came together, and against all odds, fall passionately in love. So, imagine their surprise when Sara, a 25-year-old, half-Algerian woman, shows up at the restaurant and insists on telling them her shocking, unbelievable story. Someone has stolen her identity, and they’re trying to kill her. Sara needs their help now, and she has a stunning, life-changing secret to tell. Again, Cash and Callie assemble their unconventional ragtag family — including peg-legged Andre, and Itzac, “The Macher.” Together, they go to war with formidable adversaries to save Sara, and ultimately their own lives.

“Rough Justice is the outstanding sequel to Danger in Plain Sight … The story is filled with drama, thrills and quirky moments that will tug at the hearts of readers. The breezy style makes for a brisk entry in this series; the well-written relationships are flavorful and readers can’t get enough of the incredible duo.” — The Book Commentary

Out of the Past

Available June 11, 2024 | READ EXCERPTS

Inexplicably, Cash has become troubled, depressed, irrationally angry with his friends, and worried unaccountably about the safety of his daughter and grandson. Callie suggests he see Abe Stein, the therapist who helped her son, Lew.

Reluctantly, Cash agrees, and the two men begin to explore his largely forgotten past—particularly the story of his parents, who died in a car accident when he was seven. They examine his distant memories, his barely recalled dreams, his feelings about the daughter he didn’t know until she was twenty-five, having a new grandson. It appears that there is some basis for his depression, his irrational anger, but something does not fit.

As the horrors from his past come alive in the present, Cash and Callie must assemble their most trusted allies: Andre, a prosthetic-legged Afro-Caribbean mercenary; Itzac, the “Macher,” perhaps the largest diamond traders in the world; Seattle Detective Ed Samter, a proven partner; and now Abe. Therapy raised dormant, burning issues from his past, but nothing has prepared Cash for the enemy he’s about to face in Out of the Past, the exciting third Callie and Cash thriller.
