Imploded Lives: A Heist Thriller
When two masked men take a busy Los Angeles bank in broad daylight, police, SWAT and the media cover every visible angle of the bank. Despite hundreds of eyes on the bank, nearly a million dollars – and the robbers themselves - vanish without a trace. LAPD detectives Stacey Gray and Jeff Butler begin to investigate the logic-defying case with no clues and little evidence. Soon, life-changing secrets are exposed and their worlds turn upside down. Who are the robbers - and where is the money? ★★★★★ "Well-written caper novel. Held my interest all the way." ★★★★★ "Unique intersection between local law enforcement and the FBI taking into account moral and ethical dilemmas along the way. Fast-paced entertainment." ★★★★★ "The topic is current and the characters interesting. A great read."

About the author
David P. Warren
19 books21 followersI am a career lawyer and writer, with a passion for writing the unexpected. Plots about love, relationships, and suspense. Stories that are uncomfortably plausible--that happen to compelling characters in situations beyond their control.
"Chasing Daylight" was released in March 2026. It presents four memorable stories of love and suspense. The stories will sometimes make you smile, sometimes make you nervous, and the characters will touch you. The stories are all so different, and I loved writing them all.
In January 2026, I wrote "Bedtime Stories for the Ones You Love Most." A collection of ten short stories for parent and child bonding. Amusing stories with a good message.
"Living, Loving, Laughing, and Occasional Murder" is a set of eleven short stories and an introspective piece published in 2025. Stories of real people and the unexpected.
"The Senator's Murder" was released in July 2024. It is a story of murder, trying to solve that murder of a nationally known senator, the lives that are affected and the evidence that emerges. It's a story that features hard-working people, mistakes that come back to haunt, and how evidence can emerge that paints more than one picture. It's the story of a nationally followed trial that turns lives upside down and comes with some real surprises and it's the story of a massive ethical and moral dilemma. I hope that you love it!
"The Insiders' Club: Strangers in Crime" has been released (July 2023). It is the fourth book in the Scott Winslow mystery series and it sees investigator Lee Henry go to great lengths to obtain evidence of insider trading by an elite group of brokers and wind up a murder suspect in the process!
"Between Dreams and Nightmares" was released in 2022. On her fortieth birthday, Amanda Harmon is being interrogated by detectives and is the primary suspect in the murder of her lawyer husband. The FBI is also coming after Amanda because they believe she knows the location of money stolen by her dead husband. It's a wild ride as Amanda sees the walls closing in around her.
"A Secret to Die For," (2020), is the third book in the Scott Winslow series. When two executives in the pharmaceutical industry step forward to complain the drug test results being published are not accurate, they don’t expect to be fired; and they don’t expect anyone to be stalked, beaten, or killed. They have no idea what they will be up against for revealing a secret that will cost their employer billions of dollars.
Aligor Pharmaceuticals has a new drug. One that they say will revolutionize cancer treatment, with the possibility of rescuing many in the final stages of the disease. And Delexane is only weeks from FDA approval as the phase three trials conclude. The product is already generating millions of dollars with news of its arrival causing the stock price to soar. In a couple of months, the product will be released and millions battling cancer are expected to benefit. The problem is, the sixty-five percent success rate that resulted in the first two phases of the drug test has fallen to only twelve percent in phase three, the biggest test group of the product trials, but Aligor continues to publicize a sixty-five percent success rate. Witnessing the failures of phase three, Aligor executives Martin Cardenas and Justin Palmer repeatedly approach Aligor’s top management about the discrepancy between the results the company continues to publish, and the results actually documented. To the CEO, their continued silence becomes a question of loyalty and when they author a letter that would disclose what was happening to regulatory authorities, they are both abruptly terminated—and the fight begins.
This is a timely story of a drug that is desperately needed in society. And when a drug company doesn’t disclose the real data about a potential new drug to regulators or the public, there are millions of potential victims.

Page turner extraordinaire
My third David Warren book in less than 2 weeks. All of them different, all of them intriguing and page turners. The plot in this one was cleverly unfolded and kept me guessing until the end and just as all was revealed there were more twists to keep me riveted. Great read - a page turner extraordinaire.
