In writing this series I wanted to create a character who was neither the down-and-out, tragic anti-hero nor a James Bond super spy. Raja Williams is a brilliant private detective with a strong empathic power and a sixth sense for evil that gives him headaches and steers him straight into trouble. He doesn’t carry a gun but he knows how to use one. Raja has an ethical code of conduct that his partner calls “Raja’s Rules.” Following his rules sometimes throws Raja into a worse tangle than he should tackle but, lucky for him, he has some very resourceful friends.
Raja’s partner, Vinny Moore, is a gorgeous hipster geek who prefers hacking computers to haute couture. Vinny once worked for the U.S. government until she purposely made herself more trouble than they could handle so they would cut her loose. She loves to push Raja’s buttons with the hipster lingo she is constantly picking up on the internet. Despite her teasing, Vinny is Raja’s best friend.
The button-down, Oxford-educated Raja Williams and the hipster, wild-child hacker Vinny Moore make a strange pairing but they work hand-in-glove to bring justice to those who have nowhere else to turn.
Each book in this series can be read as a stand-alone novel.
Death by poison dart. Forest fires. Government greed. Murder is never simple.
When an environmental scientist studying indigenous tribes in the Amazon rainforest is murdered, Raja and Vinny are called to Brazil to find out why. Solving the murder takes them deep into an amazing world where nothing is small. Not the towering trees, the millions of species, or the human greed that threatens it all.
In a place where illegal soya farmers, wildcat loggers, and human traffickers run rampant, and wildfires burn the evidence, the question still remains. Who killed David Winters?

From the Author:
I’m writing a new series, Deadly Sins Thrillers, that centers on some of the major drivers that corrupt people’s lives: sex, greed, power, to name a few. These books will be a departure from my Raja Williams Mystery Thriller series which I consider a more light-hearted fare. There will be a crime investigation aspect with Detective Mike Stanton and his partner Detective Raven Goodleaf leading the charge. The stories will also include psychological suspense where I delve into the minds of those who are corrupted.
When Venus Rules is the first book in the series. I hope you enjoy it. Jack Thompson
“Brilliantly done as a mystery within a mystery. I could not put this book down.” Amazon Reader

Convinced there is something criminal going on, Detective Mike Stanton begins digging into the deaths and finds a mysterious young woman at the center of it all.
Without the NYPD to help him, Mike must figure it out on his own before he himself is ensnared.
When Venus Rules is a compelling, dark tale that explores obsession and the harrowing depths to which men fall when under its spell.
