Shortcut (The Cut Series Book 2)
by Arnold Eslava-Grunwaldt
It all started with a shortcut. Murder followed. Then an accidental death. Or so it seemed. But then again, nothing is as quite as it seems. Enter Detective Sergeant Hamilcar "Ham" Hitchcock and his General Assignment Squad. Fresh off the Keim case—and recovering from the loss of several key members—the Yonkers, New York-based team reinvents itself and dives headfirst into the latest investigation. And, it's a doozy. Is the murderer a jealous high school student? A greedy caregiver? An angry homeless man? Or, someone else? As the detectives work to unmask the killer, a bizarre, unrelated death draws their attention—and holds it. Unfortunately, the evidence in both cases is frustratingly scant. At the top of the list are several short-cut cherry striped straws, and a mysterious, corrosive salve. When the stars eventually align in the squad's favor, their celebration is cut short by an unexpected catastrophe that threatens to pull the team apart again. And the mystery continues.

Half-Cut (The Cut Series Book 1)
by Arnold Eslava-Grunwaldt
Detectives from the Yonkers Police Department in New York find the victim of an apparent heart attack with the hair on the right side of his head shaved off. Although odd and out of place, the haircut doesn't appear to be tied in to the man's death and the detectives put the case to rest. Days later, however, they learn that the man with the unconventional haircut may have been the victim of arsenic poisoning, and set out to investigate. Before they get very far, a witness goes missing and another dead man surfaces with the same hairdo. Eventually, the detectives uncover a connection to a long-forgotten tragedy and, under the direction of their supervisor—Detective Sergeant Hamilcar "Ham" Hitchcock—work tirelessly to connect the dots and identify the killer or killers involved. In the end, they discover, much to their dismay, that they're not immune to tragedy themselves.
