OCEAN OF FEAR
Instead of an honest future in robotics, Baxter Cruise trades his talent for dirty money.
After a string of bad choices, it’s just another downward slide.
But this time, the consequences are dire.
The cartel now holds Baxter and his secrets in a deadly grip. Nothing is off limits as they exert their control over him through blackmail and coercion.
Abducted to a foreign country, Baxter is forced to aid and abet the cartel’s nefarious plans. While under their control, he searches for a way to escape, because he knows that when the project ends, there’s no reason to let him live.
But even Baxter’s shaky moral compass can find north, especially after he watches them kill an innocent woman.
Claudia, an FBI agent, knows Baxter’s involved in illegal activities, and his connections could help her hunt for a deadly assassin, but she’ll have to convince him to tell her the truth. He’ll have to trust her just to stay alive.
Given his past, Baxter doesn’t trust anyone who can put him in jail. But right now, Claudia’s the only one who gives a single damn.
Amid pulsing action, Baxter must choose between saving himself or preventing an international tragedy.
“. . . a nail biting drama . . .”
SPIDER GAMES
She’s a runaway in pursuit of a better life. Instead, she ends up as a floater in the Pajaro River.
She won’t be the last. Others will follow. The ones left behind will remain slaves, hardly daring to hope for relief.
FBI agent Claudia must identify the dead woman, but after being in the water that long, the body yields few clues. But this Jane Doe has a name, and her sister can no longer wait for rescue. She needs to take the same risks and make her own escape.
Claudia and Baxter Cruise are mostly an item, and his work with drones is game-changing. He’s offered an amazing opportunity in robotics until a man threatens to reveal Baxter’s illicit past.
When a bombing in San Francisco captures Claudia’s attention, a vehicle at the scene eventually leads to their lifeless Jane Doe.
As Claudia and Baxter investigate, their own city is rocked by the bomber, and Baxter is accused of the heinous crime.
Together they must clear Baxter’s name and catch a relentless psycho before more innocents are slaughtered.
A captivating, intelligent thriller until the explosive end.
“ . . . mesmerizing story. Five stars.”
ECHOES FROM DEATH
Claudia vowed revenge.
It’s been years, but she hasn’t forgotten Ravi and the relationship they shared. When she learns of evidence that may solve the mystery of his brutal death, she’ll cross borders to bring his killers to justice. But an FBI agent on foreign soil has no jurisdiction and no allies.
Roboticist Baxter Cruise loves her and will do anything to help, but before they leave the country, someone wants Claudia dead. The thugs on her trail seek historical artifacts stolen during a heist in Mexico.
When they travel to Mazatlán for answers, they cross the head of the local cartel, who hides secrets of his own. Searching for the truth, Claudia and Baxter join forces with an investigator of the heist, who only wants to recover the treasure.
With no gun and no authority in Mexico, Claudia has only Baxter’s talent for a weapon.
Taut, gripping thriller you'll devour as all the secrets are revealed.
“The twists and turns kept me guessing.”

About the author
Helen Hanson
24 books207 followersBestselling author Helen Hanson writes thrillers about desperate people with a high-tech bent. Hackers. The CIA. Industry titans. Guys on sailboats. Mobsters. Their personal maelstroms pit them against unrelenting forces willing to kill. Throughout the journey, they try to find some truth, a little humor, and their humanity — from either end of the trigger.
While Helen writes about the power hungry, she genuinely mistrusts anyone who wants to rule the world.
Helen directed operations for high-tech manufacturers of semiconductors, video games, software, and computers. Her reluctant education behind the redwood curtain culminated in a B.S. in Business Administration with concentrated studies in Computer Science. She also learned to play a mean game of hacky sack.
She is a licensed private pilot with a ticket for single-engine aircraft. Helen and her husband spent their first anniversary with their flight instructor studying for the FAA practical. If you were a passenger on a 737 trying to land at SJC in 1995, she sends her most sincere apologies. Really.
Born in fly-over country, Helen has lived on both coasts, near both borders, and at several locations in between. She lettered in tennis, worked as a machinist, and saw the Clash at the San Francisco Civic Auditorium sometime in the eighties. She currently lives amid the bricks of Texas with her husband, son, and a dog that composes music with squeaky toys.
