Another Man’s Treasure (A Novel to be published in 2009)
Ted McCormick left a crisis behind him in Chicago when his wife, Mary, accepted a bank position in Albany New York. His new career as a home organizer is low-stress, but his failure to recognize his wife’s discontent results in devastating consequences.

The surly Mr. James X. Smith hires him to purge the cluttered Victorian home of his father, whose death was wrongly determined to be an accident. The task is complicated by his real mission—to find the riches that Mr. Smith is convinced his eccentric father hid somewhere within the decaying mansion—and by signs that someone is secretly occupying the house.

An honest man and loyal husband, Ted battles his growing feelings for another client, the free-spirited Janet Blake. He confronts threats from her jealous ex-husband and deals with Mary’s suspicions. When Ted discovers that Janet is Mr. Smith’s estranged daughter, she helps him uncover clues that lead to an astonishing discovery that captivates the city.
