Publisher Description
Three short works featuring Florida Homicide Detective James T. Kirkland who has to put up with a Star Trek loving Medical Examiner, an ex-wife, and a cousin who overreacts to just about everything. Sometimes murder happens when and where you least expect it.
Redshirted.
"He's dead, Jim." Homicide Detective James T. Kirkland dreads the Star-Trek loving medical examiner's joy in stating the obvious. This time, the victim was wearing a red shirt, and when what looked like a death from natural causes turns into a homicide, Kirkland is called upon to solve the crime, red shirt and all.
Red's Heat
"There's a body buried in my yard." Detective James T. Kirkland braves the hot, sweltering heat of a Florida summer to debunk his cousin's claim before both of them are set up for ridicule in the Sheriff's Office. But when the body isn't really a body, Kirkland accepts being the butt of department jokes—until things take an unexpected turn.
Red Flagged
"Call me when you've got a dead body." Favorite words of an over-worked detective trying to get some shut-eye. But when his ex-wife calls and says her friend is missing, all thoughts of sleep evaporate as James T. Kirkland rushes to help solve the mysterious disappearance.
Red Flagged first appeared in Deception, a Mystery Anthology published by Highland Press, 2011.

Seeing Red
Wonderful trio of murder mysteries featuring Homicide Detective James T. Kirkland who has a very logical partner not named Spock and works with an ME named McCoy who likes to tell him "He's dead, Jim." Is it any wonder that the first victim is found wearing a red shirt? These are great stories. I highly recommend this collection.
