Detective Jake
The Search for Truth
By Sheila Rae Myers

Detective Jake Stalb and his partner, Detective Cheryl McCoy, respond to a report of a drive-by shooting. Arriving on the scene, they discover they have two victims. A young boy appears to be the intended target and an older woman may be only an innocent victim of the crime. Neither victim can be identified. But there may yet be a third victim; the woman was seen with a six year old girl before the shooting, but now the girl is missing. After returning to the police station, Jake gets a shock when he realizes the boy reminds him of a bully and a killer from his past. Jake now has to track down the killer, find a missing child, and deal with memories he thought he'd buried as a teenager.
It's not long before Jake discovers, through his own gut feelings and the concerns of his partner and the patrol team helping on the case, that the gang to which the killer belongs is receiving help from within the department's ranks. Jake realizes he has more than a homicide to solve, he now has to discover how deep the inside operation goes. Jake also learns, through comments made by the insiders and the shooting suspects, that he's a marked man. After hearing the name and the threat, Jake is able to put the name with a face. Doug Sylvester is the bully from Jake's past who is seeking revenge against Jake and will stop at nothing to kill him.

Jake is not a man who believes there is a supernatural power influencing his life: however, that's all about to change. An avowed atheist from a young age, he learns miracles do happen.

Detective Jake
Ripped
By Sheila Rae Myers

A serial killer prows the campus of Casey Armstrong Preparatory Academy. There seems to be no leads pointing to the killer or the motive for the murders. The only thing Detective Jake Stalb can be sure about is that the unknown suspect is copying a killer from many decades ago and across the ocean in England. Because the person committing these homicides is being very careful and leaving no fingerprints or DNA, Jake thinks his current case will end up with the same solution as that other case; a case he's studied and considers the world's greatest cold case. He and the rest of his team must work through their individual doubts about themselves and stop the killer before more people die.
Becoming a father is something Jake thought would never happen. He and Clarissa had been told early in their marriage that she would never be able to have children. But he discovers the miracles he never believed in do happen. His long-held atheistic beliefs begin to change as he thinks about everything that has happened over the past few months.
