The Seer
Will anyone believe a liar and a suspected traitor? Hired by the US Army to use her connections to expose Nazi saboteurs and sympathizers, Beatrix Patterson recruits the reluctant Thomas Ling. Together, they pit their skills against a government conspiracy, terrorist cells, kidnappings, and murderous plots. As Beatrix grapples with the truth of her own past, she must come to terms with her ruse. Exposing the Nazi war machine about to invade the country could cost Beatrix everything she’s worked so hard to build. But the information she and Thomas uncover could change the outcome of the war.
The Finder
Missing women, a disbanded cult, and a dodgy inheritance put Beatrix Patterson to the test. Beatrix Patterson is good at finding things—people, the truth, missing evidence. As three Jane Does appear at the base of a nearby cliff, each with similar ceremonial markings, Beatrix grows more passionate. The deeper she digs, the less the pieces fit together. From a strange, disbanded cult to the drag queen desperate to claim an inheritance, Beatrix is soon stretched thin. Surrounded by new neighbors with shadowed pasts, she has to wonder: will anyone believe her?
The Pursuer
The War may be over, but secrets linger. Set in 1947, Beatrix Patterson investigates suspected war criminals who may have killed thousands, a diabolical scheme to rob Indigenous Americans of their relics, and a person practicing voodoo as a means to murder a respected member of the Santa Barbara religious community. Who can she trust to speak the truth when everyone involved seems to be hiding something that could ruin their lives?
