About this listen
Cold Case Detective Paul Sutton has dedicated his life to evil.
Finding it.
Ending it.
To bringing justice to the dead and answers to the living. His life is spent straddling the line between the light of truth and the darkness of man's blackest sins. The Detective Paul Sutton series begins with First One Down, when Sutton is given a second chance to solve the case that's haunted him for two years.
Behind the mask of light lay darkness...
It took San Diego Detective Paul Sutton exactly 11 days to realize retirement wasn't going to work out for him. Back on the job as a cold case detective, Sutton has the chance to delve deeper into the only case of his career he's been unable to solve. A woman's tortured body had been abandoned on a beach. Her tormented husband has never stopped grieving. And a missing woman may hold the key to unlocking a deadly puzzle.
How does a girl who has everything going for her find herself in such a mess? Driven in her career but careless in love, Kali Hanson is in thrall to the one man who can fulfill the dark desires within her. But after an act of ultimate betrayal, she finds herself tangled in a web of deceit, where a charming mask can conceal a monstrous soul, and the brightest light is in danger of being extinguished in the depths of darkness.
As boundaries blur and the difference between truth and lies becomes indistinguishable, Detective Sutton finds himself in a race against a ticking clock. Only one thing is certain: if Sutton doesn't stop him, the monster will keep on killing, and another innocent woman will be lost forever to his darkness. But Sutton is not about to let evil win this time.
Notice: This mystery-thriller is for mature audiences due to moderately graphic sexual scenes, violence, and adult language.

Story
Life is hard enough for a teenage girl in 1950s suburbia without having a mother who may—or may not—be a witch. A single mother at that. Sure, she fits in with her starched dresses, string of pearls, and floral aprons. Then there are the hushed and mystical consultations with neighborhood women in distress. The unsavory, mysterious plants in the flower beds. The divined warning to steer clear of a boyfriend whose fate is certainly doomed.

Story
Never a doubt. Never a mistake. Always for justice. Never for revenge. She's the person you hire when you need something fixed-permanently. With a strict set of criteria, she evaluates every request and chooses only a few. No more than one job per country, per year. She will only step in if it's clear that justice will not be served any other way. Her jobs are completed with skill and precision, and never result in inquiry or police investigation. The Fixer is invisible - and quite deadly.
