The Detectives For Hire series

In an alternate nineteenth-century America shaped by steam power, industry, and ambition, former Pinkerton agents Junius Price and Archibald “Archie” McNittle have built a reputation for solving the cases no one else can.

Whether investigating a suspicious death in coastal Georgia, unraveling a murder in the streets of Philadelphia, or confronting the dangers of a nation racing toward the future, the detectives follow the evidence wherever it leads.

Blending historical mystery, detective noir, and steampunk adventure, the Detectives For Hire Series explores a world where innovation and intrigue walk hand in hand—and every case reveals something darker beneath the surface.

Darien, Georgia, 1881. When Madame Crowe is found murdered in her own boarding house, Pinkerton detectives Junius Price and Archibald McNittle must navigate a town that wants nothing to do with “Yankee” investigators. As they dig into the victim’s past, they uncover a woman who survived stowing away from Germany, escaped a brothel, built her own empire, and made dangerous enemies along the way. With multiple suspects, conflicting motives, and a newly invented lie detector their only advantage, the detectives race to find a killer in a case where everyone had reason to want Crowe dead. A historical fiction mystery where the truth proves more elusive than justice.

Two disgraced Pinkerton detectives. One poisoned judge. A conspiracy that reaches the highest offices of Philadelphia.

Junius Price and Archibald McNittle trade agency badges for independence, scraping by on divorce cases and missing dogs—until a widow’s grief drags them into something far deadlier. Doctor Horatio Peabody’s miracle Elixir of Vigor is killing the city’s elite. The evidence points to mechanical coroners, forged death certificates, and men who bury truth like bodies.

With their office ransacked, the police hunting them, and a gala full of suspects between them and justice, Junius and Archie have only each other—and a stubborn refusal to quit.

Some partnerships are forged in fire. Others, in the fog-shrouded docks of a city that wants them dead.

Napkin Nights: The crunk chronicles

Before Detectives For Hire, I published Napkin Nights: The Crunk Chronicles—a collection of stories and observations from an earlier chapter of my writing journey.

Napkin Nights: The Crunk Chronicles is the story of two young guys living it up in the Seattle club scene. This historical fiction story is written in mostly “street” slang and lingo that is delicately blended with standard English. The two guys are; the older yet not street wise Derek, and his younger friend, Juan. Please join them as they hit the streets of the Seattle to find crazy adventures and perhaps find themselves as well.
