Blood Ties Jill Andersen Mysteries Book 2
For as long as Jill Andersen could remember, her father was a hero. But heroes don’t commit murder, do they? The state of Maryland said Paul Andersen did just that, three times over, and was set to execute him for it. But Jill and the rest of her colleagues at the Baltimore Police Department come across the murder of a law student that leaves her hopeful that she can clear her father’s name. While Jill and her colleagues work against the clock to clear her father’s name, new players emerge, hinting to a deeper, darker conspiracy than what was previously known. An enigmatic faction known as The Order reveals itself, and the mystery surrounding Paul’s alleged duplicity leaves more questions than answers. Along the way, Jill must not only face the possibility that her father was not who she thought he was, but she must also face the prospect of her secret being revealed. The stakes are higher than ever in Blood Ties, the intense follow-up to J.D. Cunegan’s debut mystery Bounty. Can Jill save her father before it’s too late? Will she even want to?

Behind the Badge Jill Andersen Mysteries Book 3
For Jill Andersen, being part of the Baltimore Police Department has always been both a tremendous honor and a serious responsibility. Her father, before his fall from grace, had instilled in her a great respect for police and the work they do day-to-day. But when a teenage boy winds up dead on the outskirts of downtown Baltimore, Jill finds herself once again faced with those who would abuse their badges to fulfill personal agendas and uphold biases. Jill still has a job to do, but she soon finds that not everyone is in her corner. For the first time in almost four years working Homicide, Jill finds herself at odds with people who claim to be on her side. From other cops to suits downtown all the way to the Mayor’s office, it becomes increasingly clear that Jill will need to rely on more than just her badge if she’s to solve this case. But even if she finds justice, what’s the price? Behind the Badge, the gripping, hard-hitting third novel in the Jill Andersen series (Bounty, Blood Ties), gives readers another taste of author J.D. Cunegan’s comic book-inspired brand of fast-paced prose, with chapters that fly by and plot twists that will leave readers constantly guessing and waiting for more.

Behind the Mask Jill Andersen Mysteries Book 4
It’s hard to be a hero when everyone’s out to get you. Once upon a time, Jill Andersen considered herself a hero. Not just because of the badge handed to her by the city of Baltimore and the pledge she once made to protect and serve. Her secret life, as the vigilante Bounty, had allowed Jill to protect her native Baltimore in ways her day job never could. But all that has gone to hell now. One case pushed Jill past her limits, to the point where she made choices she can’t take back. As a result, the entire city is on the lookout for her. Allies can no longer be counted on. People who were once in her corner might very well be trying to bring her down… to say nothing of those she has crossed along the way. But that is the least of Jill’s problems. A shadowy figure emerges among the chaos, and his link to Jill’s past has the potential to be her ultimate undoing. Jill thought every link to Project Fusion has been settled once she solved Dr. Trent Roberts’ murder almost one year ago, but if she’s not careful, her past might just kill her. Behind the Mask, the gripping, hard-hitting fourth novel in the Jill Andersen mystery series (Bounty, Blood Ties, Behind the Badge), gives readers yet another taste of author J.D. Cunegan’s comic book-inspired brand of fast-paced prose, with chapters that fly by and plot twists that will leave readers guessing and waiting for more. Add to GoodreadsAmazon * Apple * B&N * Kobo

Boundless excerpt
Jill was glad the left side of her face was made of metal.
Otherwise, the shards of glass raining down around her would have hurt far more. Her face stung as
it was, having smashed against the window like that. A large hand tugged on the back of her bodysuit,
meaty fingers wrapped around black leather with surprising give. Jill’s assailant yanked her away from
the plane glass, and a gust of wind rushed onto the twentieth floor of the downtown high-rise. A flick of
the man’s wrist sent Jill across the room, her back slamming against the wall and a framed photograph
crashing to the floor.
More shattered glass.
Jill Andersen had crawled back to her feet by the time her attacker drew close again. She ducked his
left fist, which buried itself in the wall behind her. She slammed her own fist into the man’s stomach, and
when he doubled over, she wrapped her hands around his neck and flung him face-first into the carpet.
She yanked off his black ski mask before he could get back to his feet, tossing it aside and grabbing him
by the collar.
“Alright, fuckface,” she growled through labored breath, “you’re paying for that window.”
The silver on the left side of Jill’s face surrounded an infrared eye, which shone brighter than usual in
the darkness of the office. She made sure the light hovered in her attacker’s field of vision. His red beard
was close-trimmed, his eyes impossibly blue. They were also useless, with the red light shining in his
face. He reached out to wrap his hands around Jill’s neck, but his aim was off and Jill’s grip on him was
impossibly tight.
Jill was decked out head to toe in black leather and matching combat boots, the lone holdover from
her military days. A layer of silver mesh armor laid beneath the suit, and Jill wore black gloves that
reached her elbows. A katana was strapped to her back, though she hoped she wouldn’t have to use it.
During the day, Jill was one to wear her brown hair in a ponytail, but in this outfit, having her long locks
hanging down over her face seemed more fitting.
It added to the mystique, but it also helped keep her identity secret. The eyeplate on her face, which
ran from her cheek to her hairline, also helped. The infrared sensor and microscopic supercomputer in
her brain made all this possible, as did the titanium coating her entire skeleton.
“I know what you did,” Jill said, tightening her grip. Her attacker’s eyes grew wide and his legs swung
when she lifted him off the floor, not unlike the way her younger brother Brian’s legs used to swing off the
pier whenever they visited Baltimore’s Inner Harbor as children. Back in those days, Jill had always
wanted to jump right into the Chesapeake Bay, but Brian had always been content to sit on the edge.
“Doesn’t,” the man began, cringing when Jill tightened her grip. “Doesn’t matter.”
Jill frowned. The man was scared, but not of her. Not that she necessarily wanted someone to be
scared of her — okay, maybe just a little — but fear of the mysterious other meant things were more
complicated than she thought. Still, some fear directed her way would be nice. This costume wasn’t
cheap, especially on her salary.
“Kill me if you want,” he added. “You’ll never touch him.”
“I’m not gonna kill you,” Jill said. “But I’m thinking whoever ‘he’ is might, once he finds out what went
down here.”
