Joe Ringer Series
The Cost of Ordinary *** Comming Soon ***
Joe Ringer knows that normal life is not free; it is protected, maintained, and sometimes defended at a price most people never see. When signals, patterns, and outside pressure begin to disturb the fragile peace connecting Chicago and Naxos, Joe is drawn into a case that tests his discipline, judgment, and sense of responsibility. His background as a former Chicago cop and his skill as a radio operator make him uniquely suited to recognize what others miss. But seeing the pattern is only the beginning. Tightly plotted and grounded in consequence, this novel asks what ordinary life is worth, and who ends up paying for it.
