John D. Patten occasionally skipped class because he was glued to a Spenser mystery by Robert B. Parker. He would be late for jobs because he got caught up in a Travis McGee adventure by John D. MacDonald. He memorized sarcastic Philip Marlowe lines from detective stories by Raymond Chandler. Now, after all these years, he's finally figured out maybe he should be writing hard-boiled thrillers of his own.

The Titus Florida Crime Thriller Series
From Book 1:
He came for revenge. He found redemption.
Titus drove to Florida to murder a man. Fresh from prison for a crime he didn't commit. Out for blood.
But when a distraught mother begs him to track down her missing daughter, the former detective can't help himself. He dives head-first into a sleazy South Beach underworld of lowlife thugs, celebrity wannabes, and drug-fueled sex parties.
Titus soon finds himself up against an organized crime boss, a crooked politician, and a hard-nosed detective. Nobody, it seems, wants the girl found.
Now a professional hitman has Titus in his crosshairs... just as he's about to unravel a mystery deeper, darker, and more twisted than he ever imagined.
Will Titus defeat his inner demons in time to become the hero he once was?
