Four Dead Near Canal Street

2025 indieBRAG Medallion Winner

Someone turned a homeless man into a weapon.

Detective Calvin Weathers has seventy-two hours to prove a conspiracy before it destroys him.

Four men murdered with surgical precision under a Manhattan scaffolding. One suspect who watched himself commit the murders but couldn't stop his own hands. Calvin recognizes something isn't right: the impossible skill, the convenient amnesia, the broken suspect. This wasn't random violence—someone programmed this man to kill.

But Calvin's already compromised. Trading police intel for opioids that numb the pain of his dead son. One phone call away from losing his badge, his freedom, and what's left of his conscience.

When another murder hits closer to home and the evidence points to a conspiracy reaching the highest levels of corporate power, Calvin faces a choice: follow the rules and watch innocent people die, or cross every line to stop it.

A gritty noir thriller where cutting-edge technology meets old-school detective work. For fans of Michael Connelly and Dennis Lehane.

The Lakebed

2018 indieBRAG Medallion Winner

When a massive earthquake drains a mysterious lake, it reveals an observation room that manipulates time and reality itself.

Alyosha "Al" Dragunov, a Ukrainian immigrant working at the local zoo, accepts ten thousand dollars from a mysterious couple to guide them into the empty lakebed. What they discover defies explanation: a metallic structure buried in the depths, impossible technology, and evidence that humanity has been observed since time immemorial.

Police Chief Michelle Bardo investigates a series of brutal deaths in the quake's aftermath, following a trail that leads to the same terrible truth.

As reality fractures and time becomes unstable, both must confront not only what lies beneath, but the traumas of their own pasts. Some wounds cannot be healed by time alone—especially when time itself is no longer linear.

A mind-bending science fiction thriller for fans of Blake Crouch's Dark Matter, Jeff VanderMeer's Annihilation, and Michael Crichton's cerebral tech thrillers. Questions outnumber answers—because the mystery is the point.

United States of Bigfoot

The government didn't cover up Bigfoot because it didn't exist. They covered it up because of what it can do.

Dr. Topher Green changed the world when he led the team that brought back "Matty"—the first confirmed specimen of a creature dubbed the "Wood Ape." His discovery led to the passage of landmark federal legislation, the creation of the Department of Wood Ape Affairs, and Topher's appointment as the agency's first director.

But when trillionaire Mick Mundoon offers twenty million dollars for a three-day expedition to find his missing relatives in Washington's North Cascades, Topher stumbles onto something far more dangerous than an elusive cryptid.

Topher's deputy, Colin Wu, is uncovering evidence of Project Indigo—a black program so compartmentalized that even a Defense Intelligence Agency director was denied access. A program willing to kill to protect its secrets. And at the center of it all: proof that the Wood Ape has capabilities beyond imagination.

As Topher fights for survival in the wilderness and Colin races to expose the truth before whistleblowers disappear, they both realize the same terrifying reality: the coverup was never about concealing the Wood Ape's existence. It was about hiding what the creature could become if weaponized.
