If you like an entertaining mix of mystery, sleuthing and action thrills with rich characters and real dialogue in every story, you’ll enjoy the Raja Williams series.
THE COLOR OF GREED
A mysterious death. A depraved secret. The ruthless Chinese mafia.
MURDER IS NEVER SIMPLE.
A wealthy California heiress hires Raja Williams to investigate the accidental death of her young husband. As more bodies pile up, Raja and his partner Vinny find themselves targeted by a powerful enemy with much to hide, and they must race to uncover the truth before everyone involved, including the two of them, ends up dead.
BRILLIANT, FEARLESS, UNSTOPPABLE. Raja Williams is a private detective who relentlessly pursues justice using his intuitive genius and penetrating empathy to unravel mysteries. Readers have described him as "a cross between Dirk Pitt and Alex Cross."
Raja's partner, Vinny Moore, is a gorgeous hipster geek who prefers hacking computers to haute couture. The free spirit counterpart to Raja’s Oxford sensibility, Vinny loves to push Raja's buttons with the hipster lingo she is constantly picking up on the internet. Despite her teasing, Vinny is Raja's best friend, and none are better at solving crimes.

What do a private detective, a hacker and an assassin have in common? The desire to help when justice needs a hand. The Color of Greed introduces Raja Williams and his partner Vinny Moore. Neither the dark, tragic anti-hero nor the James Bond super-hero type, Raja Williams is a wealthy Oxford-educated PI of mixed Caribbean descent who possesses a strong empathic power and a sixth sense for evil that gives him headaches and steers him straight into trouble. His partner Vinny Moore is a gorgeous hipster geek who prefers hacking computers to haute couture. When the young husband of a wealthy heiress is found dead on his yacht floating off the California coastline, his death is ruled an accident and the case is closed. The grieving widow, certain her husband was murdered but getting no help from the police, turns to Raja Williams who has dedicated his resources to help those in need of justice. When Raja arrives in Los Angeles and more bodies begin to pile up, he suspects a cover-up that may go up as high as the governor. With the help of Vinny, Raja must unravel the case before everyone involved, including the two of them, winds up dead. A colorful cast of characters, great dialogue and a suspenseful, twisting plot make The Color of Greed an entertaining read.
