Blood and Bone

An eighteen-year-old boy lies dying of leukemia. Kyle's only hope is a bone marrow transplant, but no one in his family can supply it. His last chance lies in finding his father, who disappeared before he was born. Kyle's family has nowhere to turn until they learn of a certain troubleshooter - that self-styled knight errant in dark glasses, Hannibal Jones. But his search for the missing man turns up much more: A woman who might be Kyle's illegitimate sister, the woman who could be her mother, and a man who may have killed Kyle's father. Hannibal follows a twisting path of deception, conspiracy and greed, from Washington to Mexico, but with each step the danger grows.

Collateral Damage

Bea Collins is certain her fiancee wouldn't just leave without telling her. Troubleshooter Hannibal Jones is skeptical until the missing fiancee turns up dazed, confused and holding a knife over a dead body. To find this killer Hannibal will travel to Germany, Vegas and through Dean's past, which includes the murder of Dean's father, his first childhood crush and brings Hannibal face to face with Dean's convicted mother.

The Troubleshooter

A Washington attorney buys an apartment building in the heart of the city, but then he finds the building occupied by squatters: drug dealers, winos, and professional criminals intent on staying. Police are unable to empty the building for use by paying residents. No one seems willing or able to take on this challenge until the lawyer meets an intense young man named Hannibal Jones. He calls himself a troubleshooter, but he finds more trouble in Southeast Washington than he expected. The people holding crack pipes are backed up by people holding guns, and Hannibal soon finds himself up against a local crime boss and his powerful, mob connected father.

Morgan Stark, a black mercenary soldier, is stranded in the Central American nation of Belize after a raid goes wrong.

Felicity O'Brian, an Irish jewel thief, is stranded in the jungle south of Mexico after doing a job for an American client.

When these two meet, they learn they've been double-crossed by the same man: Adrian Seagrave, a ruthless businessman maintaining his respectability by having others do his dirty work.

Morgan and Felicity become friends and partners while following their common enemy's trail. They become even closer when they find they share a peculiar psychic link, allowing them to sense danger approaching themselves, or each other.

But their extrasensory abilities and fighting skills are tested to their limits against Seagrave's soldiers-for-hire and Monk, his giant simian bodyguard. A series of battles from California to New York lead to a final confrontation with Seagrave's army of hired killers in a skyscraper engulfed by flames.
