Casement
Morgan “Hutch” Hutchinson was supposed to inherit a law practice. Instead, he chose a hammer, a crew, and the clean lines of a custom home. It was a simpler life. Until it wasn’t.
In SAWHORSE, a body fell out of the sky and shattered that illusion. A hated client, a dead man, and a shady financier from South America accompanied by dangerously beautiful Swiss twins. That was the beginning. The rules changed. So did the people around him.
Now, in CASEMENT, the past comes back even better armed than the killers Hutch encountered before.
Someone is hunting the men Hutch once fought beside. One by one, they’re being erased. His wife has already paid in blood. His children are next. There is no clear trail, no single enemy to face. Just fragments. Patterns. And the growing certainty that this is not random.
Hutch does what he always does. He steps in too deep.
With a small circle of allies from the past and present, he starts pulling threads. Maryland. Washington. Aspen. Vancouver. Each stop reveals less than it should and more than it ought. The deeper they go, the more the lines blur between law, loyalty, and survival.
Because this time, the enemy isn’t just hidden.
It’s everywhere.

The Squid Hunters
The Squid Hunters is a marine science fiction adventure novella featuring a father and son united in the bond of their unique talent; hunting and killing deadly giant blue squids. Spanning the globe from Vancouver, Canada to the plains of south central Anatolia to the Weddell Sea near Antarctica, this fast-paced story never lets up. The theme was inspired by a painting by the author's son of a giant squid descending upon unsuspecting penguins from the sky. Actual research on colossal cephalopods is combined with interesting facts and colorful locales drawn from Lachman's home base in Turkey to add a modest amount of veracity to this otherwise fanciful tale. Throughout, the author's love for his talented and resourceful son creates a compelling story.
