The first three full length novels in the Harry Starke Novel Series. Twenty-three private investigator stories and counting . . .

Sometimes, a city needs a ruthless man willing to cross the line.

Harry Starke was once a celebrated homicide detective… until he upset some pretty powerful people, including the chief of police. Now a high-profile private investigator, he's carved out a pretty nice career seeking justice for the victims of Chattanooga's darker side. Some say he's reckless, that he crosses the line, and maybe he does, but he gets results. And to Harry, that's all that matters. These are his stories.

Book 1: Harry Starke

Tabitha Willard was once a vibrant young woman— until the night she leaped to her death into the murky waters of the Tennessee river.

The cops marked it a suicide, case closed.

Harry didn't agree. He was there, and he'll never forget the terror he saw in her eyes.

Why did she jump?

Harry Starke wants to know, and his search for answers leads him deep into the shadows of the city's dangerous underworld.

Book 2: Two for the Money

A Late-Night Phone Call. A Voice from the past. An Apparent Suicide.

The phone call came on a Tuesday evening in the middle of August. Harry Starke hadn't heard from his old school friend in almost five years, and he hadn't thought about him in almost as long. Tom Sattler wanted to meet, and it wouldn't wait until morning. But when Harry arrived at Sattler's home less than an hour later, he found him lying in a pool of blood with a single gunshot wound to his head and .22 revolver lying close to his hand.

Was it suicide, or was Tom Sattler murdered? If so, by whom and why?

The search for answers plunges Harry into a far-reaching investigation that involves murder, corruption, organized crime, and duplicity. As always, there's a twist in the tail.

Book 3: Hill House

For more than ten years she'd lay beneath the floorboards of Hill House.

Who was she? Who put her there? Why did she have to die? These were the questions Harry vowed to find the answers to.

But the trail had gone cold, and Hill House was a desolate ruin with many secrets.

To find the answers he had to embark upon an investigation that put him and those close to him in deadly danger. It sent Starke into the lost and long-forgotten streets buried beneath the city. Into the Dark Web where he came face to face with murder, organized crime, prostitution, and human trafficking.

With each case more deadly than the last, you have to wonder, just how much can one man take?

Fast paced, intriguing, and different from other private detective series.
