On a dig at the edge of the sun-seared Sonoran Desert, archaeologist Nicolette Scott witnesses a bizarre plane crash that leaves a young man dead in the cockpit of his mangled, burning Cessna. Federal investigators call it pilot error, but the dead man s grieving grandfather, John Gault, a man who shares Nick s passion for aviation, is demanding answers. Nick knows what she saw with her own eyes a chopper shadowing the Cessna before it went down but no one seems to believe her except John. The two join forces, using a lovingly restored B-24 warplane to rip open a secret hidden in the heat-soaked desert. What they find will plunge them into a fierce battle against a deadly conspiracy in the heart of the West s most forbidding land."
Salt Lake City is hotter than hell. The Church of the Latter-day Saints is about to celebrate Pioneer Day, in honor of the Saints who crossed half a continent searching for a home. And in the sun-scorched streets, PI Moroni Traveler, fallen Saint and former football star, is searching for a vicious serial killer. The murderer s calling card is a videotape of his beautiful victims beautiful before the self-styled Jack the Ripper vents his savage, woman-hating rage. The next target is Claire Bennion, the ex-girlfriend Traveler can t manage to forget. The Church wants the killer stopped, no questions asked. But Traveler has his own reasons for facing down a weird mountain cult, Zion s powerful elite, and a murderer bent on paying for his own sins in innocent blood. "
" How many times have I told you? Never get involved with the church hierarchy. " Words of wisdom, surely, but Moroni Traveler can t seem to take his father s advice. Salt Lake City private investigators, Moroni and his father, Martin, maintain an uneasy truce with the Church of Latter-day Saints. But Moroni owes a debt to his boyhood friend Willis Tanner, now one of the top-ranking officials in the LDS, and Willis has come to collect. Lael Woolley, grandniece of the First Prophet, the head of the Mormon church on earth, has been kidnapped, and the prophet believes only Traveler, a gentile, can rescue her. Moroni agrees, although reluctantly in Salt Lake City you just don t say no to the LDS. He and his father set out to find Lael with carte blanche from the prophet and the assistance of three enterprising, offbeat drifters who live in the lobby of the Travelers office building. Their search takes them around the state and into the church s extensive genealogical records, pointing to a subversive Mormon feminist group that may or may not be responsible for Lael s disappearance. "
Bombs, death, and a deadly terrorist have television reporter Bob Christopher at odds with an evil conspiracy. The star anchorman of Los Angeles Channel 3 News had appeared on his last show as the victim of a terrorist bomb. The shock waves were still rumbling when his accused killer was found dead of an apparent suicide. The terrorist s death should have closed the case. But instead, it opens a nightmarish can of worms when television newsman Bob Christopher can t let bad enough alone and defies the men with money and muscle to focus in on a macabre conspiracy of evil that feeds on human lives and manacles the law."

"A mission to murder " Fifteen miles long, bordered by pristine white beaches, Balesin is an emerald paradise in the blue waters of the South Pacific and home to a bizarre religious cult. Since World War II, the people of Balesin have worshiped airplanes and the rich cargo they carry. Hoping to obtain the spoils of the modern world, they have spent decades trying to lure aircraft down out of the sky with a homemade airstrip and mock planes. But for those who know it, Balesin has an even darker side one shrouded in a legend of death and cannibalism. For Nicolette Scott, an expedition to Balesin brings together her life s twin passions: archaeology and airplanes. But soon two members of the expedition are dead, and from thousands of miles away, a powerful noose of intrigue is tightening around natives and visitors alike. Now Nicolette s life is in danger too, as her research brings her closer to uncovering this strange island s long-held mysteries, secrets from the past that have the power to kill."

He finds himself in deep with big-time politics, a giant oil corporation, a group of wild American Indians, and a high-priced hooker all out to make him a corpse before he can report the news."
