The Last Mayan (Avon Books, 2001)
ISBN: 0380804875

Contract archaeologist Alan Graham came to the Yucatán to join his lady Pepper on a dig—and may now be involved in the greatest discovery in centuries...or the greatest hoax. New evidence suggests there were Old World visitors in Central America long before the conquistadores. But when the search for proof leaves two people dead, Graham realizes that the past isn't all that's waiting in the Mexican rain forest. A killer is there as well. And unless Alan unmasks the murderer, the entire expedition could vanish forever into the mists of time, along with the truth.

Assassin's Blood (Avon Books, 1999)
ISBN: 0380804859

Experience has taught Baton Rouge contract archaeologist Dr. Alan Graham that the picturesque landscape of Louisiana is rich with history that is both glorious....and deadly.

The tiny town of Jackson, Louisiana, is the site of Alan's newest investigation. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has sent Alan and his crew to inventory a tract of land slated to be flooded for a dam. But it's an investigation of another sort that soon draws Alan's attention when he stumbles upon a ramshackle cabin in the woods that the locals say is haunted by the ghost of its one-time resident: Lee Harvey Oswald.

Local folklore has it that Oswald visited Jackson a few months before the Kennedy assassination, and his ghost still lingers on the vast property Alan's staff is evaluating. That's in the past, however. Alan is more concerned withthe estate's recent history, and the unsolved murder of its owner, who was shot withthe same type of rifle that Oswald used. But it's not a ghost that shoots one of Alan's interns while she sifts through recovered artifacts. Nor is it Oswald's spirit who murders a local resident before he can talk with Alan. Now Alan is hurled into two mysteries: one involving the present, the other surrounding the darkest moment in twentieth-century America.

Past Dying (Avon Books, 2000)
ISBN: 0380804867

An American Legend was Born on the Louisiana Bayou. An American Dream was Murdered There Two Centuries Later.

Alan Graham is a contract archaeologist, and certainly not an expert on paranormal activity. Yet he's the one the Louisiana Corps of Engineers sends to investigate a small-town librarian's claim that she saw a UFO fall into the river. But instead of some extraterrestrial traveler, Graham discovers a dead man in a car clutching an ancient silver coin and slain with a most unusual blade sunken into the muddy river bottom.

History is Alan Graham's greatest passion. So distancing himself from this case, with its intriguing connections to the past, is out of the question especially when the trail turns toward the legend of Jim Bowie, the knife-wielding local hero who died at the Alamo. But his own enthusiastic curiosity might be pulling Graham in over his head. Because entwined somewhere in tangled backwoods myths and crimes are the keys to a contemporary murderer's dark motive and bloody next move.
