Explore the Parker Glynn Series

The series begins when Parker Glynn loses his wife and daughter after the attack on the Twin Towers – and the realization that his mistress was part of a terror cell that led to their deaths…and those of nearly 3,000 other Americans.

The guilt-ridden Glynn leaves New York , where he stumbles upon a terror cell that plans a ‘second strike’ planned in Florida.

In thwarting the attack, Glynn achieves revenge against the terrorists and a degree of redemption for his infidelity – and is asked to join Homeland Security’s new H.I. 4 Section as an undercover agent .

A scientist working with U.S. Intelligence becomes a recluse after a plane crash in India, then his foundation begins marketing an experimental device designed to fulfill one’s deepest desires.

Two years after he survived an encounter with Al-Qaeda to stop a second terror strike after 9/11, H.I.4 sends Parker Glynn on his first true mission: infiltrate Dr. Rishikesh Singh’s foundation and determine if the doctor is still mentally competent or if a doppelgänger – a double – has taken his place.

From luxurious West Palm Beach to the wine county of Napa Valley, this fast-paced mystery offers plenty of suspense, action and romance – along with interesting characters, true-to-life settings and an imaginative terrorist plot sure to satisfy the most discerning reader.

In this short story (available as an e-book only), Glynn visits an old girlfriend after nearly 10 years. As he recalls the nature of their romantic non-starter and the rival that won her heart, he uncovers a dark secret behind her seemingly perfect love affair that went wrong.

A honeymooning nephew of a spy chief goes missing in the Caribbean while a twisted criminal torturer Diego Delgado puts a double-agent under wraps at the same time – and H.I.4 calls in Glynn to investigate.

In a mission that takes him from Grand Turk to a deadly battle with hijackers on a cruise ship, Glynn finds himself in the middle of an al-Qaeda plot to cripple the major U.S. ports and kill thousands in the process – and the only person who can stop Delgado’s secret personal vendetta against America and his own native country.

Passion, intrigue and imagination come together in a fast-paced Caribbean adventure.

In this short story (available as an e-book only), Glynn is heading home after his mission in the Caribbean when he is irritated to be diverted to attend a dinner party in Miami for the French Ambassador to the U.S. in Miami. There, he finds the high-brow sophistication of the uber-wealthy can sometimes be deceiving.

When U.S. Intelligence fears there’s a connection between Pakistani-born ‘Risky’ Bhakta’s suspected prostitution ring and al-Qaeda, Glynn is assigned to infiltrate Bhakta’s operations in South Texas. Going undercover as a first responder in the wake of Hurricane Ike, Glynn learns Bhakta has total control over women he employs – and is confronted with a twisted terrorist plot aimed at the genocide of Western Civilization. The winner of a 2025 Royal Palms Award/Thriller Category from the Florida Writers Association!
