This week I am featuring the author Austin Camacho. He is the author of the Hannibal Jones Mystery Series and the Stark and O'Brian Thriller Series. He also has two stand alone mysteries.

The Hannibal Jones Series include the following books:

• The Troubleshooter
• Blood and Bone
• Collateral Damage
• Damage Goods
• Russian Roulette
• Pyramid Deception
• The Wrong Kind

His Hannibal Jones series is a gritty hard boiled mystery series with a lot of action and intrigue.

Here is the book blurb from the first book in the series:

"Dan Balor, a high powered Washington attorney, buys an apartment building in the heart of the city, hoping to create low income housing for good families. Instead he finds the building occupied by squatters: drug dealers, winos, and hookers intent on staying in place. Police and private investigators are unable to empty the building for use by paying residents. No one seems willing or able to take on this challenge until Balor meets Hannibal Jones. Hannibal soon finds himself up against a local crime boss and his powerful mob connected father. The conflict spreads until Hannibal realizes that his stand against the mob could explode into a full-fledged riot unless he can somehow end it all, without surrendering the building and the neighborhood to the criminals."

Austin Camacho has a stand alone mystery titled "Beyond Blue".

From the back cover:

"Beyond Blue is a mosaic about a privately funded detective agency whose only purpose is to help police officers in trouble. The story follows four of the agency's cases, which overlap and intersect:

• An undercover officer is in danger of really being drawn into a life of crime.

• A crooked lawyer is destroying police careers by making arresting officers appear to have violated criminals' rights.

• A cop's wife accuses him of abusing their daughter.

• A retired policed detective who is in charge of airport security could lose his job because of drugs being smuggled in through JFK International.

Pursuing these cases is a team of unique and intriguing detectives. The agency's director, the enigmatic Paul Goman, sits at the center of the action, pulling the strings to direct a team of unique and intriguing agents to solve their cases and cover each other."
