The Sam Kincaid Mystery series consists of three novels published between 2007 and 2018. Sam Kincaid is a law enforcement professional in Utah who works cases that dig into the darker side of the state’s communities. The Commission started the series, followed by Silent Witness a year later.

After a long gap, Slow Burn appeared in 2018, returning to Kincaid and his world. The books are procedural in approach, following the investigation process in detail while developing Kincaid as a character dealing with the personal costs of his work.
