Ice Cold Grudges. Florida Heat.

From the ice rinks of Minnesota to the palm trees of Florida, Jimmy Favreaux is a seeker of "people, places, and things"—and a man running from his past. After two near-fatal run-ins with a Zamboni (don't ask), Jimmy’s quiet life as a Sunshine State PI is shattered when Ruth Thompson vanishes from the Jacksonville airport.

The investigation leads straight to Jack Powers, the man who ruined Jimmy’s life twelve years ago. 

Now, with a suspiciously timed corpse in a hotel room and a cast of colorful tourists in his wake, Jimmy must untangle a web of family secrets and old grudges. Somewhere between the Georgia pines and the Florida coast, he’ll have to decide what’s worth saving: the truth, his reputation, or his neck.

Zamboni Is Not a Pasta blends humor, heart, and just enough danger to keep you turning the pages. Perfect for fans of Carl Hiaasen and Spencer Quinn, it’s a mystery that pairs best with a grin.

In "Wanted: Dead or Alive (Again)," the second installment of the Blue Bridge Mysteries, Jimmy Favreaux and his partner, Pepé, return to tackle two cases that are far more entangled than they seem.

While Pepé tracks a missing doctor whose wife is all too eager to declare him deceased, Jimmy is hired to recover a stolen, award-winning manuscript. The trail leads him down a rabbit hole of history, uncovering two murders committed 140 years apart that share chilling similarities.

As if double homicides and literary theft weren't enough, Jimmy must navigate a flirtatious new client and his own mounting distraction: the introduction of the captivating Wendi Lyst. 

Packed with local color, historical twists, and Jimmy’s signature charm, this mystery proves that some secrets—and some people—refuse to stay buried.

In "To The Last Breath," Jimmy Favreaux and Wendi Lyst are about to have a first date they’ll never forget: riding out Hurricane Nicole as it slams into Amelia Island. But the storm isn’t the only thing threatening to tear their world apart.

Trapped in an iron lung, award-winning author Carolyn Dawson is fighting for survival, but her family secrets are just as suffocating as the rising winds. When severed body parts begin washing up, and Jimmy receives unnatural warnings to "back off" the Dawson family business, the persistent investigator does what he does best—he digs his heels in.

As if a Category 1 storm and a cold-blooded killer weren't enough, a terrifying legend from Jimmy’s Canadian childhood—the Seven O’clock Man—has seemingly come to life to hunt him down. 

In a race against the elements and a literal bogeyman, Jimmy must solve a gruesome mystery before the last breath is drawn.

The lines between life, death, and dreams blur in "Perchance 2 Dream," the surreal fourth installment of the Blue Bridge Mysteries.

After a traumatic brain injury leaves him in a medically induced coma, Jimmy Favreaux awakens in a world he doesn't recognize. Guided by a mysterious blonde nurse in a vintage uniform and a girl named Alice, Jimmy navigates a dreamscape filled with flashes of history and visits from his deceased mother.

But even in a coma, there is no rest for the weary. 

Jimmy’s nemesis, The Man, is infiltrating his subconscious while simultaneously terrorizing the Blue Bridge team back in the intensive care unit. To wake up, Jimmy must trust his gut instincts to bridge the gap between his visions and the waking world. It’s a race for his mind and his life—because in this mystery, the most dangerous place to be is fast asleep.

In "The Cost of Survival," Jimmy Favreaux’s quest for a quiet Minnesota vacation is shattered by a single, chilling phone call: "They found Jacob’s body in the lake, but… that’s not where I left him."

Marsha Little is a voice from Jimmy’s past, and her confession pulls him into a deadly inheritance sweepstakes. A bitter patriarch has pitted his three sons against one another for the family fortune, and one brother is more than willing to kill for the crown.

Joined by Wendi and his old friend Vandy, Jimmy must navigate a small-town noir landscape of buried secrets and generational greed. In a place where everyone is hiding something, Jimmy quickly learns that the truth isn't just hard to find—it carries a lethal price tag.

The Cost of Survival is the fifth installment in The Blue Bridge Mysteries—a gripping smalltown

noir where loyalty, greed, and justice collide in the most unexpected ways.

Wendi fills in for her boss, Hillary Lyst, her ex-father-in-law, to teach a creative writing class at a local college. Jimmy is assigned the role of “beautiful assistant.” Ten wannabe writers are enrolled, but soon there are only nine. One drops out, but not by choice.

Things start smoothly, but quickly tank when a body turns up, and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) gets involved. Now Jimmy and Wendi have to figure out who killed someone and left the body by a campus garage. It has all the earmarks of The Man’s henchmen, but what’s the connection to the creative writing class? Could it have been committed by one of the other students? Why is the GBI involved? What’s The Man up to now, and is he why the GBI is investigating? On top of everything else, Jimmy wants to know: is the class pass/fail, and will he get his tuition back if he figures out who killed their classmate?

Jimmy, Wendi, Pepé, and Hillary are joined by a whole new cast of suspects, investigators, and casualties!
