A Tate Ramsey Thriller

Tate Ramsey, PhD, travels to Israel to assess a classified neuro-biotech program. Its public mission is to treat PTSD. Behind that work, research combining plant-derived compounds with brain–computer interfaces is moving toward intelligence applications. As Tate tests the program’s claims, the investigation draws him into experiments that put his own mind at risk.

The Gambler’s Mind

A William Steele Thriller

Roughly fifteen years before he meets Knox Ramsey, Special Agent William “Bill” Steele is working violent-crime cases with the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit. An investigation draws him into the underworld of sports gambling and point-shaving, where understanding the people behind the fixed games forces him to weigh the human consequences of the case.

Bill’s story begins before Knox and eventually crosses into Dark Recipe.
