The Last P.I. Trilogy

In a World After Nuclear War, Truth Remains a Deadly Weapon.

In a fractured America reeling from a "limited" nuclear war, private investigator Walter Sands is one of the last men still seeking answers rather than survival. Living in a devastated Boston, pulled into international conspiracies, and hunted by forces beyond his control, Sands is about to discover that in a broken world, the most dangerous weapon isn't a bomb—it's the truth.

**Book 1: Dover Beach
**A strange missing-person case pulls Sands across the Atlantic into a secret project that may have rewritten human identity itself—while a killer stalks the truth from the shadows.

**Book 2: The Distance Beacons
**In The Distance Beacons, Sands is hired to protect the President of the United States during a fragile attempt to reunite a shattered nation. When the President is kidnapped, Sands becomes the prime suspect—and the only one who can prevent a second American revolution from igniting.

**Book 3: Where All Ladders Start
**Two seemingly unrelated investigations—a missing religious leader and a high-stakes federal treaty—collide in a web of betrayal, faith, and political manipulation that threatens to destroy what remains of the country… and Sands along with it.
