William Bernhardt

Latest Release

In Florida, defense attorney Daniel Pike is stunned when his legal files are ransacked and his lover, Maria Morales, disappears. In Oklahoma, semi-retired attorney Ben Kincaid is horrified when his connection to this apparent abduction endangers the people he loves most. Desperate for help, Pike seizes Kincaid and hauls him on a cross-country road trip to discover what happened to Maria…and why a killer is so interested in a California murder case.

“Like peanut butter and chocolate, two great things have come together. Partners in Crime explores the universe of Kincaid and Pike, bringing them together for a case that will have you turning pages all night. The book is also one of the best road-trip ‘buddy’ novels I’ve read in a long time.” 
RJ Johnson, author of A Wilderness of Mirrors
