Picture Perfect Murder - Book 1

A serial killer. A retired detective. While the truth remains buried, the body count will rise...

Retired homicide detective Ransom Walsh has seen some gruesome things in his day. But nothing as nightmarish as a cop's murdered family in carefully chosen poses. He didn't intend to investigate the case, but the nature of the crime makes it personal.

Before Ransom and his former partner can make any headway, they discover another perfectly staged mass murder. Frustrated with the lack of leads and hindered by his bum knee, he never suspects that his own family will become the next target...

As the deadly game closes in on Ransom, will the time-worn cop solve the case before the killer's grudge hits home?

If you like complex cases, gritty detectives, and a story that hooks you from the first line, then you'll love Rusty Ellis' serial killer mystery.

Politics of Murder - Book 2

The struggle between Power and Justice: a prostitute, a homeless man, a politician, and murder.

The most unlikely of witnesses pull Ransom out of retirement and back to the streets of Las Vegas. The former homicide detective must uncover who's leaking tips about the case and the murders - his former partner, his girlfriend, a Senator? Who can he trust?

The killer serves a higher calling. Those sacrificed for the greater good of the people. Some lives are more disposable than others. Their lack of value to society make them invisible.

Ransom sifts through an improbable group of witnesses, victims, and suspects. A strange mixture of water and oil. Individuals never likely to meet. Individuals never likely to find themselves in the same discussion. Their only common ground: murder.

Entitlement. Privilege. The self-prescribed Political Elite.

Shunning class and status, Ransom's only drive is to satisfy the plea of the voiceless victims, no matter where the gavel lands. A life is a life. Ransom squares off against his arrogant foe to bring the killer to justice, to keep him from slipping through his fingers, and to make him answer for his crimes.

Law and Murder - Book 3

Averett Turing never intended to be a mob attorney. His reward? The mob killed his wife. The mob kidnapped his daughter. He has to decide - stay captive to the mob or take a chance on help. The best chance of escape lies with retired detective Ransom Walsh.

Retired detective Ransom Walsh has locked up dozens of convicted murderers. This case seemed, well, too easy. The pieces fit and the murderer put up a less than a stellar fight against his conviction. The man was guilty. He'd killed the woman. That was not in question. His motive was another thing.

It's been seven years since the murderer was sentenced and the victim's daughter wants answers. When she visits her mother's killer in prison, several people take notice, including those with ties to the mob.

The mob reaches out to the murderer's own daughter, sparking off a series of events leading to Ransom and his previous partner's entrance into the underworld of organized crime in Las Vegas.

After being threatened over his daughter's trip to the prison, the mob's attorney tries to back away from working for them. They have other plans. And they're not beneath involving innocent family members... again.

Ransom and his former partner chase the clues and the clock in working to solve the bigger crime surrounding his original case. The only problem, if Ransom's wrong, the attorney and his daughter could die.
