Momma's Boy
A Captain Mike Valentik Crime Novel

When a brutally murdered victim is discovered in Northeast Ohio, Captain Mike Valentik and the Robbery-Homicide Unit are called to investigate what initially appears to be just another homicide. But as the evidence begins to unfold, one chilling detail becomes impossible to ignore—everything points to not one killer, but two.

As the investigation deepens, Valentik uncovers a twisted partnership between a man and a woman whose deadly bond is as disturbing as it is unpredictable. With another victim missing and time running out, every clue leads to more questions, while the killers remain one step ahead.

Forced to navigate a maze of deception, psychological manipulation, and shocking secrets, Valentik must determine who is controlling whom before another life is lost. But in a case where loyalty is warped into obsession and appearances are dangerously misleading, the truth may be far more terrifying than anyone imagined.

Filled with authentic police procedure, relentless suspense, and unexpected twists, Momma's Boy is a gripping crime thriller that will keep readers guessing until its unforgettable conclusion.
