Synopsis

Lukas Richter is a San Francisco police detective with a cybernetic eye and heightened senses. He can detect the same autonomous responses as a polygraph machine, so he has a leg up in determining guilt.

In An Eye for a Lie, his first full-length novel, Richter is accused of murder and the evidence seems incontrovertible, including a bullet that was somehow fired from his gun when he claims he was nowhere near the crime scene. In the background, San Francisco is aflame over Richter's shooting of an unarmed Asian man, an incident some are calling "the Asian Ferguson."

Can Inspector Richter convince a plucky and suspicious FBI agent of his innocence in the face of overwhelming accusations and public persecution?

Polygraph [0.1]

**FREE on Amazon.com**

"Like most bad ideas, it started with alcohol."

When a vicious serial rapist terrorizes the Bay Area, lowly beat officer Lukas Richter knows he can help. It’s said he can see through your skin and is more effective than a polygraph at detecting lies, which might seem like it would be a killer talent in law enforcement. But when a drunken boast has Richter seeing something he shouldn’t, he will be sorely tested: Does he have what it takes to make it in the SFPD --- or will his career dissolve before it even starts?

If this short story were a movie it would be rated R for hard language and intense violence.

The Bloodless Mask [0.2]

``They call it the bloodless mask. Once flesh and blood has been stripped away, there is only the skull, the final mask. If you don the skull, you don the spirit. You become that person.''

When a headless body floats up near a San Francisco yacht club, newly-minted Junior Inspector Lukas Richter is assigned the case. With no leads, no suspects, and a partner unwilling to work with him, will his first case end up being his last?

If this novella were a movie it would be rated M for strong language and gore.

Can Richter sort out the truth before another public catastrophe threatens innocent lives?
