A hidden network.
A conspiracy reaching the highest levels of power.
When French diplomatic attaché Mathieu Fournier is found murdered in New Orleans, Captain Cyrus “CG” Greene of the Homicide Response Command is assigned what appears to be a routine international investigation. It quickly becomes anything but.
Partnering with French intelligence officer Sofia Haddad, Greene follows a trail of evidence from Louisiana to Washington, D.C., Paris, and beyond. Every lead uncovers another deception. Witnesses vanish. Evidence disappears. And powerful people seem determined to keep the truth buried.
As Greene and Haddad close in, they discover they are no longer hunting a killer, they are unraveling a covert network that has operated in the shadows for years, protected by wealth, influence, and absolute loyalty.
With enemies hidden behind respected institutions and allies becoming harder to trust, Greene must risk everything to expose a conspiracy capable of reaching into the highest levels of government before its architects disappear forever. The Statue Protocol is an international political thriller blending murder investigation, espionage, and relentless suspense into a story where justice is never guaranteed… and power protects its own.
Some conspiracies are built in secret. Others stand in plain sight.

THE BLUE WATER PROTOCOL
Availble wherever you get your eBooks and in print on Amazon
When an unidentified man is found murdered outside Centerpoint, Nebraska, a fingerprint scan triggers a restricted federal alert—placing the case under the covert Homicide Response Command. Captain Cyrus “CG” Greene quickly learns the victim worked for the Russian Embassy, which admits he was staff but denies knowing why he was in the Sandhills.
The deeper CG digs, the clearer it becomes: the embassy’s lies are misdirection, the evidence is being manipulated, and corruption inside the system is driving the narrative toward a threat that isn’t foreign at all.

Behind the Control Room is not a celebrity memoir. It’s the story of how television actually works.
Over fifty years, Howard Bolter worked behind the scenes of television—lighting sets, managing crews and staff, running and launching channels, solving technical crises, and helping guide the industry from broadcast to cable to streaming—often alongside the on-air talent and executives audiences recognize, and just as often far from the spotlight.
With humor, honesty, and an insider’s perspective, Behind the Control Room pulls back the curtain on a business that rarely tells its own story.
In a world shrouded in mystery and deception, why are terrorists avoiding government targets? Where does the endless stream of funds fueling their operations originate? What malevolent end game do they pursue? Imagine a twisted reality where esteemed billionaire industrialists are the true puppet masters behind the terrorists’ facade. Who claims victory – the terrorists or the capitalists?
