Alex Landon Case Files Series

Dry Creek Patrol Officer Alex Landon is about to be promoted to Narcotics Detective. With only a few weekend graveyard shifts left in his Patrol tenure, he learns DCPD’s narcotics unit and the DEA believe the source of a high-grade methamphetamine is operating in Dry Creek. Alex has already seen how the cost of powerful addictions are measured in lives lost: victims addicted and overdosed, conspirators and rivals killed, informants murdered. 

A sadistic child killer awaits in Room Number Three. One year ago, Detective Alex Landon began investigating the unexplained disappearance of ten-year-old Kevin Stevenson. Now, he could finally sit across from the predator he believed responsible. The catch? Landon has no evidence to hold his suspect, who clearly knows investigators can't stop him from leaving whenever he chooses to do so.

A frantic 911 call from a farmer sends firefighters and patrol officers to a hayfield to investigate a late-model Mustang coupe fully engulfed in flames. As the flames recede, the discovery of two burned corpses inside the coupe's trunk shifts the investigation and priorities for everyone involved. While Landon and his team work to learn the motive and find those responsible for the murders, he can't shake a haunting suspicion that forces inside the Dry Creek Police Department are working against him.  

With the help and encouragement of her teachers and mentors, 16-year-old Princess Peralta has almost succeeded in redefining herself from "aspiring drop-out" to "college-bound honors student". When she's reported absent from Dry Creek High School without explanation, school resource officer Javier Ramirez knows something's wrong. After he learns no one's seen Princess for 48 hours, he immediately teams up with Detective Alex Landon to investigate. What they soon uncover leads them on a desperate interstate search to rescue Princess, who they're convinced has been kidnapped.
