The  Second Canvas,  Book 1

A Painted Lie,  Book 2

The Gray code, Book 3

Former Navy SEAL turned private investigator Jet Rider is drawn into the refined world of Ashford Fine Arts when suspicious art transactions expose a larger conspiracy. Alongside gallery owner Eleanor Ashford, her gifted niece Lena Carter, and Jet’s allies Blake Singleton and Knoxy, he uncovers how forged paintings lead to digital color-coding and early artificial intelligence used to influence powerful institutions. What begins as art fraud becomes a battle against systems designed to quietly control outcomes and make people invisible. Across three linked novels, Jet and his team confront corruption that evolves from canvas to code—revealing that the most dangerous weapons are not guns, but algorithms.
