The Chemist Series Trilogy

This trilogy includes the first 3 of the heart-pounding Chemist Series crime thriller novels: The Chemist, Trail of Evil, and Mask of Bone, as featured on esteemed news sites such as FOX, NBC, ABC and Boston Herald.

The Chemist

The chemist leaves no evidence as he kidnaps his victims. No one has ever seen him, heard his voice, or felt the touch of his hand... and lived to tell the tale. The Chemist blends into everyday life. Like a chameleon, he arouses no suspicion, He is charming, intelligent, friendly and a sociopath. Having created a liquid sedative/fentanyl cocktail that allows him to kidnap any victim he chooses, day or night, leaving no trace or clues behind, he begins his abduction spree. Thus the problems begin for homicide investigator Cale Van Waring, who heads up the Special Crimes Unit for the Green Bay PD. Three female victims have already vanished, with one headless body recovered from Lake Michigan. There are no suspects, no crime scene, no witnesses. Can he stop a cold-blooded killer before he strikes again? Cale better figure it out, before another headless body floats up out of the lake.

Trail of Evil

The serial killer known as the Chemist is incarcerated, awaiting his upcoming trial. But to Green Bay detective Cale Van Waring, the case is far from over. Two female victims remain missing, and time is running out. A tip pointing to international human traffickers is Cale's only lead. Making matters worse, Cale learns that his fiancée, Maggie, is pregnant-perhaps at the hands of the man who had kidnapped and raped her. Cale's search takes him down dark alleys in Rome and Brussels, and through steamy jungles in Liberia, Africa. Professional hit men, sadistic soldiers, perverts, and even a voodoo witch doctor-they all attempt to thwart the determined detective. When it comes to human traffickers, they play by their own rules; and the clock on the lives of his innocent victims is ticking.

Mask of Bone

Green Bay homicide investigator Cale Van Waring wakes up in Anzio, Italy, having survived yet another attempt on his life. The pair of kidnapping victims he's been searching for has been located and are in the hands of a human trafficking ring, and a hasty rescue mission is in the works. To add even more stress, Cale's fiancee back home reveals she is pregnant. The odds are high that the man who kidnapped and raped her is the father -- not Cale. The sadistic leader of the trafficking ring -- the man who has failed to end Cale's life on three prior attempts -- vows he won't miss the fourth time. As a master of African voodoo, he has never been defeated when wearing his mask of human bone.
