Jonathan Fredrick

A West Virginia PI uncovers a deadly criminal conspiracy in this crime novel by the author of Cash City.

Two years removed from the events of Cash City, PI Nick Malick’s life is oddly normal. He has a solid relationship with his girlfriend and her son, and plenty of investigative work from a local law firm. Meanwhile, after decades of economic decline and a crippling crime wave, Cain City is undergoing a major revitalization. But the sunny outlook is quickly clouded over by Malick’s latest investigation.

Soon Malick finds himself tugging the threads on a criminal conspiracy that touches all rungs of Cain City society, from the squalid street corners to the prosperous upper crust. As the body count rises, the case threatens the lives of the people Malick loves most. And to stop Cain City from being destroyed, Malick must confront the sins of his past.

The Cain City Novels

Hum Little Birdie

A West Virginia PI is out to avenge his son’s murder in this debut crime novel.
 
 For the past seven years, Nick Malick has been haunted by the violent death of his young son. In his gut, Malick knows who did it. But the psychopath is in prison for another crime, scheduled to be released in a year. To exact his revenge, all Malick has to do is wait . . . and survive.
 
 Having lost his marriage and career in the wake of the tragedy, Malick scrapes by as a private investigator in the blue-collar town of Cain City, West Virginia. His latest case tasks him with finding a young woman gone missing. Seems simple enough. But when his investigation exposes a link between a corrupt police force and a powerful drug cartel, Malick finds himself at the center of an explosive criminal conspiracy.
 
 Turns out, when there’s no one to trust and a whole lot of people want you dead, survival and revenge aren’t so easy.

 “Quick and nimble, peopled with unforgettable characters, Cash City provides everything I hope to find in a hard-boiled crime novel.” —A.F. Carter, author of The Hostage

Cash City

A knock on the door in the middle of the night sets off a dangerous and deadly pursuit in this stand-alone crime novel in the Cain City series.

Ephraim Rivers, a struggling single father on the brink of losing his factory job, is working the graveyard shift when a man with a bullet in his gut stumbles in, whispering of stolen money. Ephraim sees an opportunity to alter the course of his family’s fortunes, and becomes obsessed with finding the loot.

But there are bad men pursuing the treasure. Out to seize power and settle scores, killing means nothing to them—and they have no pity for anyone who gets in their way. Ephraim just wants to do right by his son, whose medical bills are piling up; and by his father, whose time on this Earth may not be long. But it’s a fine line between desire and greed. And crossing that line could be Ephraim’s final act.
