About the Books

Bluebird

A good spy never breaks. A good friend protects his pack. A good son doesn't let his parents die. Jason Miles has failed at all of these.

Desperate to leave his dark past behind, Jason Miles is finally living the life he always imagined for himself. A beautiful wife, great friends, and a job as a security expert at a bank.

But when he discovers a massive tax fraud scheme for the wealthy clients at work, he faces the choice between doing the easy thing or the right thing, and is forced to go on the run from the FBI and his boss's group of thugs.

Loose Ends

He escaped his past once—now it’s holding the future hostage.

After barely surviving the fallout of exposing a billion-dollar fraud and his wife's devastating betrayal, Jason Miles is trying to start over. As the head of a rising tech consultancy, he seeks a quieter life where danger is not a constant companion. But when an old enemy resurfaces with a threat he can't outrun, that fragile normalcy shatters.

Blackmailed into stealing the world’s first Alpha Quantum Computer—a self-learning machine capable of breaking every safeguard ever invented—Jason is thrust back into the shadows he tried to leave behind. Refuse, and the people he loves will die. Comply, and every digital system on the planet becomes vulnerable to a single ruthless cabal.

Hunted on all sides, Jason is drawn into a global conspiracy spanning from Tampa’s Ybor City to the cliffs of the Greek Isles. To survive and protect the future from being rewritten, he must stop a secret society seeking absolute power and face the past that refuses to stay buried. 

But some secrets are best left as loose ends.

Come celebrate the debut of his newest release, meet Chris Kneer, and get your books signed!
