My debut novel, Honor Above All, has been published by Allium Press of Chicago.

October 1882 - Pinkerton Agent Garrett Lyons arrives in Chicago to uncover the truth behind the death of his partner. With his friends - architect. Louis Sullivan and Charlotte Reed, former girlfriend who runs an upscale poker game for the city's elite - he must solve a larger mystery involving counterfeit government bonds. Lyons becomes caught up in architectural competition to build Chicago's first skyscraper.

Rich with historical details that bring 1880 Chicago to life, this novel will appeal equally to mystery fans as well as history buffs and architecture enthusiasts.
