Garrett Pierce is a ten-year veteran with the DC police, and has a reputation for being the best. When he meets Lani-his new partner-the sparks fly. Pierce already feels partially responsible for his former partner's death. The last thing he needs is a female tagging along on dangerous assignments, and a beautiful one at that.
Lani, however, is all business and is determined to prove it as they investigate the murder of a wealthy businessman's son. As the case unfolds and the list of suspects narrows, Lani and Pierce earn each other's respect-and discover a mutual attraction. When someone tries to murder Lani though, Pierce realizes that yet another partner is in dire danger.
Can he save Lani-the only woman to touch his heart and his soul?

Yank on the Hill is about growing up. A young American attempts to leave the Plains behind as the 60s end on Long Island with on-campus lunacy and off-campus opulence. The bookworm is turned on his head by the militant faculty, the police raids, and the needy Turkish girl who abandons him. Steeped in counterculture, looking to renew the adventure beyond graduation, he takes his act on the road to Istanbul as a teacher of English literature. His idealism is smashed against the battle scars of his elder brother throughout their asynchronous journeys. Spun across three continents along the whims of the governments, and the diverse women of the prairie, the continent and the exotic east, the tale slowly unravels the two brothers' emotional baggage through sex, war, drugs, patriotism, and upbringing. The women in their lives represent the liberation saga of opinionated daughters, rich and poor at the same time, trekking without taking any prisoners when given the chance.
The mayhem of student demonstrations, sensual excesses, living with an oil embargo, Nixon's last days, and the Bicentennial sobering provide the background. The calm of the prairie provides the abyss. This is a raw political novel which examines the 20th century through the eyes of an activist.
Can the spirit or "ghost" of a dead person be visibly present among the living, possibly even manifest paranormal abilities - actually cause not only accidents but even deaths? Is the insistence on hauntings merely hysteria, or actual fact?
These are the questions faced by an international team of NATO workers who return to a deserted fuel terminal in Iceland to rebuild it 40 years after brutal killings have taken place there. The bodies, drowned in a cement reservoir filled with liquid asphalt, have never been recovered. Their murderer served only nine years in prison and then was set free. Is it possible that the accidents and deaths that occur during the site's rebuilding can actually be due to the ghosts of these victims? Can ghosts seek vengeance?
This is the question asked of the site workers and executives, of the psychic they hire to find out, of the priests who attempt an exorcism.
Do you wonder too? Read Terror at the Terminals and decide for yourself!
