A NEW Youngblood Story
The Cajun Circle
Book 3 of the Youngblood Story Series
April Lake is missing. When Donald Youngblood is persuaded by a desperate mother to look for her missing daughter, little does Youngblood know that the trail of an apparent runaway will lead him into the dark and sinister world of human trafficking, facilitated by a criminal organization known as The Cajun Circle.
To make matters worse Youngblood is racing the clock; trying to find the teenager before she is swallowed whole by a business so evil that it will consume her to the point of no return.
With the aid of a small-town police detective, an FBI ally known only as Wolf, and ex-CIA agent Henry Cole, Youngblood uses all the resources at his disposal to bring April Lake home.
From a small town in Alabama, to the bright lights of New Orleans, to the luxurious decadence of Cancun, Youngblood follows a trail of greed and deviant behavior to extract the ultimate revenge and save a girl from a life of sexual slavery.

His personal life is trending upward, business is booming
and no one has come to him with a case likely to get him
killed.

look into the apparent heart-attack death of her husband,
Don is convinced it is just the delusions of a grieving
widow. But as he goes through the motions of his
investigations, uncovering a mysterious note and a
twenty-year-old picture from Desert Storm, Don starts to
think there may be more to the death of Walter Crane than
natural causes.
The Silver Star, a soldier with a stress problem, an Army

missing vial and a unique list of soldiers turning up dead
are all pieces to the puzzle that Don races to fit together
before someone else dies.
In the desert of New Mexico, the bayou country of Louisiana,
the streets of Memphis, and small towns in South Carolina
and Kentucky, Donald Youngblood tracks his most elusive foe
yet and starts to wonder if maybe he is in the wrong
business.

Outside the small town of Saddle Boot, West Virginia, a
bulldozer uncovers a long-buried body. Only four living
people know it’s that of drifter Johnny Cross. But Johnny
Cross was not who he appeared to be.
In the early-morning
hours a few days later, in Mountain Center, Tennessee, a

less than twenty-four hours. Over the next few weeks, two
more dead females turn up in East Tennessee. A serial killer
with an unusual signature is on the loose.
The only thing
that connects these events is private investigator Donald
Youngblood. Don knows the identity of the body in West
Virginia. He also knows the dead girls in East Tennessee are
a personal message to him. A new and deadly game has begun.
In this unique double sequel to Three Days Dead and Three
Devils Dancing, Youngblood wrestles with two separate and
distinct cases: finding the true identity of Johnny Cross
and tracking down a serial killer who seems to be in a big

Eight years
ago, Sheila Buckworth’s ten-year-old son, Michael, disappeared

and sheriff’s deputy Billy Two-Feathers find themselves in the
desert of southwest Arizona on the Tohono O’Odham Indian
Reservation uncovering a sinister plot to inflict damage on the
U.S. government. Racing against time to discover the lair of the
terrorist group known as the Midnight Riders, Youngblood and the
FBI must thwart the plan before the group can execute its “big
event.”

asks him to investigate the death of a classmate. Clay Carr, a
local all-state football player, has crashed his car and killed
his girlfriend. As Clay remains in a coma, Youngblood learns the
crash was no accident. Working with his police-detective wife,
Mary, he travels through a maze of dead ends trying to find the
person responsible.
