 In “With Malice Aforethought,” the second in the Liam O'Connor series, Liam is brought back into the world so familiar to him — homicide investigations. He's asked to lead a murder investigation in the small town of Port Saint Lucie. Although he’s not sure if he wants to put himself through the anguish of another investigation, Liam agrees to assist. A task force is created from members of the small and inexperienced local police department to track down and apprehend the killer.

Liam realizes the killer he's chasing is extremely methodical and has likely killed before. As Liam works with his fellow task force members to find the killer, he begins to understand their individual strengths. In turn, they learn more about Liam and his past.

The investigation leads to victims in other states, confirming that Liam and the task force are tracking a serial killer. The team experiences first-hand the pressures associated with investigating a serial killer and, through various investigative techniques, tracks the killer to Virginia. There, they finally come face-to-face with the killer and get a first-hand look at an anatomy of a murderer.

What they see, and learn, is frightening to all.

His fifteen years spent as a homicide detective, sergeant, and detective commander made lasting memories that triggered his desire to write. Being a husband, father, decorated officer and longtime high school football coach also helped formulate his unique storytelling perspective.
