Detective Sydney Valentine loves her job, but when she arrives at a crime scene to find a dead social worker with Scrabble tiles stuffed inside her mouth, she comes face-to-face with the case that could end her career, and her life.

When the nude, mutilated body of a juvenile court judge is found in a park, and a single mother is killed by a hit and run driver, Valentine discovers that someone with a sinister connection to Child Protective Services is killing people. And there's no end in sight.

As she hunts the perpetrator, the target on her back grows. While racing to stop the murderer, Detective Valentine must protect herself and her family before the killer strikes again.

**Criminal Negligence (Book 2)**

An unidentified young woman's bloody corpse is found in the backyard hot tub of a high-end home. Detective Sydney Valentine arrives at the scene and discovers nothing is as it initially appears-far from it.

Valentine's pursuit of Jane Doe's identity uncovers secrets some would prefer to keep hidden. Her investigation reveals treachery and deceit as she gets closer to exposing the truth behind what set everything in motion.

**Mega Dead (Book 3)**

Detective Sydney Valentine is summoned to the San Sansolita home of Teena Travis, a brutal judge on the musical reality show *Mega Star*. Valentine finds Ms. Travis on the floor, her skull bashed in with her own Emmy statuette.

Over the years, Ms. Travis earned the nickname "The Dream Crusher". Detective Valentine learns that Ms. Travis treated everyone who walked across the stage equally - with a sharp tongue and no concern for how her words cut the contestants to the bone.

During the course of the investigation, Valentine discovers that fans of the show adored Ms. Travis. If that's true, then who would want her dead?

Did the judge's poor treatment of contestants push one of them over the edge - or is the killer someone she never saw coming?
