One of the seven deadly sins, greed propagates a selfish blindness, an invisible mold that destroys every person from the inside out. Michael Doyle. The average man. A comfortable job, an easy lifestyle, and a girlfriend every guy covets. Nothing arduous, nothing too risky. Until the deathly tentacles of greed touch his life…and he realizes that greed knows no boundaries. Can Michael survive? FATAL GREED (Greed Series #1) A corporate takeover bleeds its way into a private company in North Texas. Behind the scenes, deadly deals erupt from the greed-filled hearts of a select few powerful enough to make them happen. What’s an employee to do? For one unassuming man the thought of layoffs, of losing his own job to a bunch of arrogant assholes, feels like a kick to the jewels. Until the day Michael Doyle’s life changes forever. Perverse alliances. An affair of the heart. A gruesome murder. A spiraling string of events thrusts Michael into a life-or-death fight to save a tortured soul and hunt down a brutal killer...one who lurks closer than he ever imagined. LETHAL GREED (Greed Series #2) Seduced by an insatiable urge to escape reality, North Texas teens are falling prey to the one weakness parents fear most—the use of illicit drugs. And North Texas is just the tip of the iceberg. With his city under siege by a series of drug deaths and a kidnapping, recently hired newspaper publisher Michael Doyle and those closest to him are sucked into a twister so toxic and destructive, no one will be the same in its wake. From the jagged mountains and alluring beaches of Mexico to the suburban concrete jungle in North Texas, Michael defends an entire drug-ravaged generation against ruthless killers who attack on every front possible. And just when you think the dragon has been sleighed, a vile act of cruelty threatens to shred his own family. WICKED GREED (Greed Series #3) A twisted email lands at journalism outlets across the south, referencing innocent little animals, primal urges, Hollywood movie stars, and women of a certain ilk...tearing flesh from bone. The haunting note tests newspaper publisher Michael Doyle’s over-protective nature. Is the email just a prank from a sheltered computer geek, or a prophetic sign of a future heinous act? Deadly brutality swallows up one beautiful young lady after another…and it seems no one can stop it. What force is behind this chain of sadistic killings, pulling the strings, toying with pretty girls who want nothing more than to meet Mr. Right? As Michael and his team track a series of bizarre murders in southern college towns—slowly piecing together what the FBI cannot—a savage monster strikes close to home. The greed of the wicked pervades all who touch it—by choice or by circumstance. GREED MANIFESTO (Greed Series #4) Everyone needs a guardian angel—except when that angel is cloaked in vengeance, immune to human qualities of remorse or compassion, seemingly carrying a torch for justice, yet driven by a tenacious indignation. Set against the awe-inspiring backdrop of San Francisco and all of its fleeting secrets, Michael Doyle attempts to reboot his life, only to see death drop inches from his feet. Awakened from a seemingly catatonic state and emboldened by a spirited friendship from his past, the former journalist is compelled to chase down the truth behind a murder--and the natural beauty connected to it.
