“One of the best books I’ve read in a long time.” – Sara Kinsey

Haunted by the unsolved murder of his parents, a hometown sports hero battles the justice system and the most powerful oil family in the country to save a ten-year-old genius on trial for murder.

Twenty-two years ago, Ike Rossi’s life was shattered when his parents were mysteriously murdered in cold blood. Now, a killing by a local ten-year-old genius, Jack Cole, threatens to unearth old wounds rather than provide the closure Ike desperately wants.

Despite knowing the case will resurrect the painful demons of his parents’ unsolved murders, Ike races down a twisting and deadly path to clear Jack’s name. The court of public opinion and the district attorney have an airtight case. Worse, taking Jack’s side thrusts Ike into the crosshairs of the most powerful family in the country, the Falzones.

As Ike deciphers a series of cryptic clues, he collides with the Falzones’ crumbling empire to find the shocking evidence that could save Jack. But each step closer to the truth draws them further into danger, and as three fractured families collide, Ike is forced to choose between saving Jack—and saving himself.

An early fan of authors like Michael Crichton and Clive Cussler, he pursued his dream of becoming a thriller author. His experience in the oil and gas business ultimately led to the idea for his first thriller, The Sunset Conspiracy. His interest in biology and science formed the foundation for his next four thrillers in the tradition of Michael Crichton, Genetic Imperfections and The Swimming Monkeys Trilogy.

The Dark Side of Angels is based on one of the most remarkable discoveries in the history of medicine. His latest thriller, The Secret That Killed You, was sparked by his interest in the emotional challenges faced by RPA (Drone) pilots and children of alcoholics, along with one of the most heinous crimes of the twentieth century.Steve and his wife, CJ, live in South Carolina.
