Vol. 1 COLD RIVER RISING

This #1 Amazon best seller is the Native-American cop thriller for which the phrase "totally off the Rez" was invented!

Martin Andrews, iyapu (white man) tribal police chief is still struggling to understand a new culture and the people he serves, when Tribal Council Chairman Bluefeathers' granddaughter, along with other students and their professor on a study trip, is kidnapped by the Shining Path in the mountains of central Peru. As leader of the sovereign nation of Cold River, Bluefeathers declares war on Peru and sends Martin to head up a four-person war party to retrieve the students. The Chairman shows himself to be a skilled, modern statesman and military strategist, and the Cold River Indian Reservation is joined by other Indian tribes in a show of force and solidarity.

Vol. 2 COLD RIVER RESURRECTION

Attracted by ancient legends (or merely urban legend), a group of Sasquatch stalkers trespasses onto the reservation, and when one goes missing on the mountain, one of the best trackers in the country, Tribal Police Lieutenant Smokey Kukup, former Army Ranger with three tours in Afghanistan and Iraq, leads the investigation into her disappearance.

Meanwhile, the lost woman, Jennifer, confronts the real mystery on the mountain: why are there Ferragamo-shoed bodies on sacred lands? The fates of Jennifer, Smokey, and Smokey's 10-year-old Twixtli (shaman) daughter become intertwined as the answer to the mystery brings down the wrath of a Mexican drug cartel.

Vol. 3 COLD RIVER RUNNING

In the face of a nationwide failure of the electrical grid, the survival of the Cold River Indian Reservation of Oregon may depend less on the modern skills of its protectors than on its return to the Old Ways. Old friends reassemble: Tribal Police Chief Martin Andrews and Lieutenant Smokey Kukup and their families, Chairman Bluefeathers, elder Martha Coeur d'Alenes, and Weasel the pilot, along with the entire Cold River Indian Reservation, who come together to fight as a family. Every man, woman, and child will play a part in the fight for survival, as society collapses around them.
