Thomas Vale was a math prodigy, expert gambler, and promising CIA recruit. And his act was nearly flawless. But when his secret was revealed – that he’d been masking high-functioning autism – his career in clandestine operations was over before it began.

Or so he thought.

Years later, when a former mentor resurfaces with a hand-tailored mission, Thom seizes the chance to finally prove himself. He teams up with “Sondra,” a mysterious and tough-as-nails spy, to investigate a suspected terrorist financier. They uncover a broader criminal scheme than they could have imagined, and soon the walls start closing in.

Outnumbered, outgunned, and overwhelmed by his senses, Thom is pushed to his limits and beyond. And even if he survives … can he ever go home again?

Book 1: Blood Game

Book 2: Crying Call (coming February 2026)

Thomas Vale’s investigation is going up in flames, literally.  He’s spent months tracking down the Blue Panzers, a domestic terror cell of white supremacist cops, and their mysterious leader known only as “Malleus.”  But when the house he tracked them to explodes in a ball of fire, he’s left with more questions than answers.

The digital trail leads Thom back to his rustic hometown on the Seneca reservation, where he hopes to reconcile with his estranged father.  But his research uncovers something unexpected – his childhood first love is missing and presumed dead.  Haunted by memories of love and loss, Thom returns home in defiance of his orders, and quickly becomes both hunter and target.

With the help of Wendell “Dell” Nguyen, NSA’s most brilliant hacker, Thom must track down Malleus before the Blue Panzers’ violent plans unfold.  It’s a race against time to stop a terror attack that could claim thousands of lives.  When the last card is played, and all the chips are down, will Thom answer the call and lay down his life for his country?
