Along Comes a Wolfe

Tony Shepherd’s life is pretty much figured out: he’s got a good family, he’s popular at school, and he’s a basketball star. But when his girlfriend disappears, he enlists the help of Charlie Wolfe, a wise-ass troublemaker from “the wrong side of the tracks” who’s always willing to break the rules to get results.

But Charlie’s investigations aren’t always legal, so when another missing girl is found dead, Tony must decide whether doing right might sometimes mean doing wrong. Together, Shepherd and Wolfe must find a ruthless killer and stop him before someone else dies.

Shepherd's Watch

After the unbelievable events of last fall, Tony could use a break. But his relaxing family summer at the lake crashes to a halt when Charlie arrives at the cabin after a local man goes missing.

But nothing is ever simple when Charlie’s around, and soon the boys are again caught in a dark tangle of violence and danger. If they’re not careful, their search could bring harm to more than just themselves... Can Tony protect his family and keep Charlie out of trouble?

Wolfe in Shepherd's Clothing

When Charlie winds up homeless, Tony’s family takes him in. But Tony’s parents have one request: No more mysteries! The boys want to keep their word ... but someone is leaving dismembered bodies around the city and Detective Gekas is asking what they know.

Soon, Tony and Charlie are caught in a labyrinth of lies and death—and not everyone is as they seem. Can the boys escape unscathed or will someone they care about end up dead?

Shepherd's Call

Charlie Wolfe vanishes from Tony Shepherd's high school graduation, leaving only a cryptic message asking for help.

On his own, Tony must summon all the skills he's learned over the years to find his friend. He'll leave the safety of home and family to face off against old foes and uncover the truth of Charlie's disappearance.

But things are more complicated and dangerous than he realizes, and he'll have to choose just how far he's willing to go to save his friend.
