Nobody's gonna know...
Five college housemates-brainy Rachel, sporty Jessie, angry Darlene, quiet Gwen, and mysterious Annamaria. One ordinary evening at home, engaged in their various pursuits-studying, showering, watching a program about serious killers. Eight little words... I bet we could get away with it. It was just an offhand remark. The next thing they know... there they are a body at their feet, and the pressure's on to prove those eight little words. After all, why wouldn't they get away with it? Who'd suspect a bunch of coeds? They don't fit the usual profile or go for the usual kind of victims. They're as smart, as strong, as cruel, and as capable as any serial killer out there. It's time for a little payback and a little revenge.
It's time for the local guys to learn about living in fear. It's time for the Murder Girls.
The peaceful grandeur of the Grand Mesa in Colorado is shattered by the discovery of 11 bodies buried under 11 roadside crosses along a lonely mountain road.

Now it's up to Colorado Bureau of Investigation Agent Buck Taylor and his team to investigate his decades-long trail of murder, and stop him before he finds victim number 12.
Can the Roadside Cross Killer be stopped?

Crime Family (Book 10)...Is it murder? Or something even more sinister?
Nothing could have prepared the sheriff's office in Park County, Colorado for what they saw after responding to a missing person's call from the wife of a state brand inspector-a body with bullet wounds. Next to it, a large herd of dead cattle belonging to a member of one of the first families to settle in the county. Colorado Bureau of Investigation Agent Buck Taylor and his team must race against time to solve the mystery of the dead cows, the murdered brand inspector, and several other victims. Set in the picturesque terrain of Park County, Colorado, this gripping novel follows Buck as he delves into the dark secrets of a powerful local family running a criminal enterprise. From baby farming to murder, intimidation to human trafficking, the investigation uncovers a web of violence and corruption. But as the team gets closer to the truth, they realize that the stakes are even higher than they could have imagined. With the federal government now involved, the team must navigate through the dangerous politics and powerful players to uncover the truth behind the deadly toxins that could be the key to solving the case.

Bodies of entertainers and audience members lay scattered, their colorful costumes now stained with blood. As he and his team from the Colorado Bureau of Investigation begin their work, they quickly realize the gravity of the situation - the shooter has escaped and a prominent ultra-right-wing congressman is among the dead.
As they delve deeper into the investigation, Buck and his team are bombarded with questions that demand answers. Who is responsible for this heinous act? Why was a politician who actively sought to ban drag clubs targeted? And how did a conservative podcaster play a role in fueling the violence that erupted that night?
With every lead they follow, the case only becomes more complex and twisted. And as tensions rise and secrets are unearthed, the team must use all their skills and resources to catch the killer before they strike again.
