"Knights on the Graveyard Watch" by T. B. Pasko

"Veteran Officer Danilo Venko is an overweight, white dinosaur knocking on the door of 50, working the graveyard shift in the beleaguered 7th Precinct under an oppressive commander. It couldn't get much worse and yet it does. Venko is assigned to train rookie Officer Marcus McGhee, an African American Gen Z member who spends more time watching his phone than the streets. The pair are assigned the cold cases of two missing teens abducted 27 years apart by the same suspect that vanished after both incidents. They discover their kidnapper has recently reappeared and snatched another teen only to release him ten minutes later, unharmed with no memory of the event. A winding chase leads them to a retired one-legged detective, a toxic industrial plant, and a cover up before the shocking conclusion"- Author website - www.tbpasko.com

"Insolvency" by T. B. Pasko

Oliver, a divorced mother of two continuously fights for respect and equal treatment, while Bledsoe, nearing retirement, is content to do little. The drowning of a Russian mobster unleashes a series of events that lead the pair to three seemingly unrelated deaths: an overdose of a stripper turned office manager, the suicide of a drug addict, and the brutal beating death of a homeless man. The link between all the cases is a frail bookkeeper, Samuel Alden. The pair discovers the key to case, lies buried in the records of the Chesterland Center for Psychiatric Care." - Author website - www.tbpaskoauthor.com
