"Deceived by Ornament is a thoroughly New Yorkie novel authored by a proud New Yorker on a creative roll." –Gillespie Lamb, The Junkyard Dick
Detective Kim Brady must find the killer of Mariano Avila, beloved community activist and immigration lawyer in Brooklyn. The only eyewitness, Amara, a fifteen-year-old undocumented escapee from a human trafficking ring, has described the killer as wearing a police uniform. Kim discovers the details of the murder match those of a cold case from several months earlier.
Saddled with a partner who is an unqualified rookie cop forced on her unit by a local state senator with mayoral aspirations, Kim's investigation is micromanaged from above. She soon finds herself in a maelstrom of competing jurisdictions and interests as she struggles to determine if the killer is a cop or an imposter, whether he is a serial killer or part of a larger domestic terrorist plot.
When she discovers that a close friend of the victim in the cold case, Rafer Harwood, is part of an anti-immigrant militia suspected of planning a major terror event, she can explain the second murder but not the first. She must protect Amara and find both the killer and the real leader of the militia.
Deceived By Ornament, A Kim Brady Mystery. An engrossing crime thriller by Edward J. Leahy.

Lauren Kaine has everything she ever wanted — a fabulous home, a shiny Lexus, a bright sixteen-year-old son, and a loving husband with a lucrative internet career. Tonight, she walks hand-in-hand with William beneath the lustrous Seattle sky, celebrating twenty-two years of marriage.
But they’re not alone.
A mysterious black Audi comes out of nowhere and chases William onto a bridge. He shouts, “They’re here for the card,” and falls to his death. Enraged, Lauren attacks the car, but the tinted windows hide the driver’s face, and it speeds away.
Still mourning, she sets out to find her husband’s killer when a stranger calls and demands the card. William never mentioned a card, and she doesn’t know where it is. The stranger follows her. He torments her. He threatens to kidnap her son and throw him into the same river that killed William.
And it’s not just the stranger.
Black cars lurk around every corner. William’s co-workers refuse to talk to her. Her brother-in-law resurfaces after years of silence, and he knows something, but she’s running out of time. She searches for the card, and the past pulls her back to the first time someone kidnapped her son. Back to her resentment. Back to the truth.
Lydia Thompson's husband of over forty years has died. Her first thoughts are thank goodness he's gone at last, but whoops – did I help him on his way? As she discovers the terrible secrets he's kept from her, any remorse she has for her actions crumbles.
On the plus side, for the first time in her adult life she has made some friends. They indulge in coffee and cake in a local cafe, and generally misbehaved.
Then, when the father of her gorgeous great grandson dies and the police say it was suicide, she knows it was nothing of the sort. Naturally she persuades the group to investigate.
That's when the real trouble starts.

In the game of love, summon the means to win.
Jasper didn’t set out to fall in love with his best friend and professional gaming partner, Zach—hell, he never thought it an option. But when an accident took his wife’s life, leaving him a single parent, the two found comfort in each other. Happy again, he couldn’t have wanted more. Until the newbie spitfire redhead in their guild smoked them both in a duel, and subsequently agreed to join their team.
Quick with her spells and even quicker with her words, she’s got a soft spot for his daughter, and a growing place in his heart, as well as Zach’s.
Only problem? She won’t see them outside the game.
Zach has been happy with his partner Jasper and his daughter, even though they came together under less-than-pleasant circumstances. But as happy as they are, he can’t deny his growing attraction to their guildmate and fellow teammate Shira. So when Jasper confides in him a desire to include her in their family, he’s on board.
But how are they going to convince her of that, when they can’t even get her to meet them in person?
And if they succeed, what will become of his relationship with Jasper?
Shira has three rules: don’t date in person, don’t hook up with guildmates, and most certainly don’t believe an android can find love. After being fitted with life-saving cybernetics, she lost her modeling career, her dating life, and her confidence. She retreated inward, taking up a new gaming hobby due to new friends she made in the hospital.
Pairing up with fellow guildmates Jasper and Zach for player vs. player activities, she slowly finds her confidence again and embraces this new life, doing her best to escape her past. However, growing close to these two men tests her rules in ways she never expected, especially when they insist on meeting her.
And if they can summon her, what could become of them if her past comes back to haunt her?

An experienced tracker, Shee quickly tracks the boy to a Bahamian island playground catering to the young and wealthy. The job seems like such a breeze, she hires her daughter, Charlotte, to infiltrate the age-restricted compound. They’ve just been reunited after a lifetime apart, and the mission offers them serious quality mother-daughter time.
Is the mother-of-the-year award in the mail yet?
Before Shee can kick back with a Bahama Mama, the senator’s son’s girlfriend turns up dead. The boy is the primary suspect. Could be he's not the underachieving goofball he seemed to be…and her daughter is on the island with him.
Shee needs to extract Charlotte, but communication has been cut, and the sinister underbelly of the resort is beginning to show.
Shee will need to tap into her father’s collection of ex-military misfits, including a retired FBI agent, a newly-hired thief hiding a secret, and Charlotte’s father—the wounded SEAL whose heart Shee once trampled—if she's going to save their daughter.
The island has other ideas.
