The Silent Witness : A Trial Against Power

 Book Cover Silhouette of Young People.


The Silent Witness : A Trial Against Power


A locked room. A dead senator. A city trembling in silence.

In a city ruled by power and secrets, the truth doesn’t just hide — it is hunted. Senator James Harding is found dead in his private office. No prints. No note. No way in, or out. It should’ve ended there.
But it didn’t.
Prosecutor Emma Carter isn’t one to back down. Fierce, brilliant, and unshakably loyal to justice, she takes on the case that could end her career or expose everything. Her only lead? A man who hasn’t spoken a word in three years.
Jonah Reeve was once a fearless investigative journalist. Until the night a car left him broken and voiceless. But silence doesn’t mean surrender. Jonah remembers. And now, through trembling hands and American Sign Language, he’s ready to tell the story they tried to bury. As Emma and Jonah unravel a trail of hidden files, whispered threats, and buried witnesses, they discover something more dangerous than a murder: a conspiracy stretching into the highest offices of justice itself.
But some people don’t want the truth uncovered. And they’re willing to kill — again — to keep it quiet.
A silent witness. A fearless prosecutor. A city on the edge.

The town's history conceals a shameful secret that's been waiting centuries to be revealed, and only Lit has the blood and guts to uncover it. His reputation has preceded him, and nightmares call his name.

   Beautiful image of the Hawaiian Coast


Murder on the Hawaiian Coast
When the body of Dorian Veynar—the ruthless tycoon who built a tourism empire across the Hawaiian Islands—is discovered on his Waikīkī estate, paradise is shattered. What begins as a serene morning overlooking Diamond Head turns into the scene of a shocking murder that sends tremors through Honolulu’s elite. Detective Keoki Tanaka, a man whose roots run deep into the volcanic soil of Hawai‘i, is called to unravel the truth behind Veynar’s violent death. The investigation draws him into a labyrinth of suspects: a fiery former lover humiliated in public, a calculating business partner with everything to gain, employees betrayed and discarded, and islanders whose sacred lands were desecrated by Veynar’s greed. From the glittering resorts of Honolulu to the quiet coastlines of Maui, Tanaka navigates webs of power, betrayal, and ancestral claims. As the body count rises and old grudges resurface, he must untangle lies buried beneath paradise’s postcard-perfect facade. Each clue points to hidden motives, each alibi crumbles under scrutiny, and every revelation pulls him closer to a killer driven by ambition, vengeance, or both. Rich with Hawaiian atmosphere and steeped in suspense, Murder on the Hawaiian Coast is a gripping whodunnit where paradise itself becomes the stage for a deadly reckoning. In a world where beauty masks danger, Detective Tanaka must uncover the truth before the islands’ darkest secrets claim another life.

  Military Man with Helicopters in Back


Article Five: A World War Three Novel


It was supposed to be a fool proof plan… Until the world caught fire.

When a newly elected U.S. President abandons NATO, Russia seizes the opportunity to strike, launching a full-scale invasion of Estonia. As Europe stands alone, British forces scramble to hold the line against an unstoppable enemy.

In London, MI6 operative John Rafferty hunts a Russian defector—until a sleeper agent turns the streets into a war zone. At sea, Commander Anderson of HMS Daring fights to keep critical supply routes open as Russian warships close in. On the frontlines, Sergeant Johnson and his tank crew face overwhelming odds in a desperate battle for survival. And in the shadows, a traitor at the highest level is pulling the strings, tipping the balance of war.

From the corridors of power to the heart of the battlefield, Article Five is a pulse-pounding geopolitical thriller where loyalty is fragile, alliances are crumbling, and the world is one misstep away from global catastrophe.

Will NATO’s most sacred principle—Article Five—hold? Or has the first domino of World War Three just fallen?

Fans of Tom Clancy, Mark Greaney, and Frederick Forsyth won’t be able to put down this gripping, high-stakes military thriller.
