Mysteries and True Crime

I appreciate your dropping in. Now, let me tell you why you should linger and nose around.

As an award-winning journalist and author of six true crime books, I've spent twenty years writing about real cases, real people, real murders. It's been an amazing education on law enforcement and the criminal mind.

Now, I've expanded into fiction, with the release of the first Sarah Armstrong novel, SINGULARITY, the fast-paced tale of a Texas Ranger hot on the trail of the strangest killer to ever stalk the Lone Star State. The American Library Association's BOOKLIST magazine honored SINGULARITY by naming it one of the top ten Best Crime Novel Debuts of 2009!

Last year BLOOD LINES, the second in the Sarah Armstrong mystery series, hit bookstores. I was overjoyed when BOOKLIST magazine dubbed it a strong sequel. BLOOD LINES transports you inside two intense investigations, one involving a young superstar hunted by a bizarre stalker. Watch for the third in the series. On October 26th of this year, 2010, THE KILLING STORM arrives in bookstores. It's already being lauded in reviews, including Publisher's Weekly, who said, "Casey's turbulent third mystery featuring Texas Ranger Sarah Armstrong (after 2009's Blood Lines) draws the criminal profiler into a breathless drama as scary as a hurricane's eye....a terrifying cat-and-mouse game develops, pointing to more stormy weather ahead for Sarah in the best in the series to date."

While you're here, click the top link on the left, and it'll take you to THE KILLING STORM's first three chapters. I'm obviously hoping it'll whet your appetite, and you'll want more.

True crime aficionados, don't worry! How could I give it up? I love digging into sensational cases, getting down to the nitty-gritty, where all the questions are answered, not just who, what, how and where, but the most important, why?

My most recent true crime book, debuting in July, is SHATTERED. On Houston's David Temple case, SHATTERED tells the heartbreaking story of the murder of a young pregnant mother and a frustrating investigation that took nine years to bring into a courtroom.

Now that you're here, explore. Click on the "Bonus" tab and read my ROLLING STONE article on the murders of Texas Blues singer John Vandiver and his girlfriend, Debbie Davis. Peruse sections on individual books and view photos, many never before published.

Thanks for stopping. Feel free to drop in again, anytime. You're always welcome.
