The Beckett Cypher collection of novels begins with The Case – Book 1, a contemporary criminal investigation, layered with romance, love, intrigue, friendship, family, corruption, and choices. The Case begins when undercover operative Shane Beckett is contracted by the Carson City Sheriff to investigate a crime family syndicate, and the syndicate's links to drug cartels and politicians.
Shane is quickly swept up in two murders, as he falls deeply in love with the woman of his dreams, in the middle of the investigation. But just as he comes to realize that The Case is far more complex than he could have imagined, and he himself becomes a target for assassination, he also learns his new love and her family are far more than they first appeared. As he enters the depths of the underworld, Shane becomes entangled with people responsible for his parents' murders, an unknown assassin, warring drug cartels, and a shadow government.
Shane must quickly make complex and difficult choices as The Case drags in additional people, more danger, building intrigue, and a passionate love he had never known possible. He struggles to maintain control of The Case and his life, as he identifies a barrage of people and motives. Shane finally discovers he can't begin to unravel these mysteries until he finds the key that will unlock the past – The Beckett Cypher.
