"Murder at the Top of the Stairs: A Caleigh O'Neill Story" is the first book in the Caleigh O'Neill series. It tells the story of a four-car pileup between the insulated worlds of New York society, Texas royalty, a Bulgarian crime family, and various law enforcement agencies with differing levels of competency. After Caleigh and the Prince of Something or the Other heat up the bathroom of a downtown nightclub, she flees the club with no cabs in sight. Caleigh grabs a Citibike and rides up First Avenue towards her Upper Eastside apartment. Pedaling past the UN, she stops to take a moonlit photo of two men standing at the top of the stairs leading to Ralph Bunche Park when she sees one man stab the other, and a body falls over the railing, through the trees, and into the park. Unfortunately for Caleigh, the body that fell into the park belonged to the son of the United Kingdom's Permanent Representative to the United Nations. The murderer is the son of the head of a Bulgarian crime family, and she is now the "witness" and beamed into a world where being an innocent bystander is not an option.

Other books in the series:

In Book Two, "Murder in Mallorca," Caleigh works undercover in Europe to take down a human trafficking ring. Caleigh reunites with her mother, who is married to Ruben, a Spanish billionaire with a doubtful past. Using her mother's connections, Caleigh finagles an invitation to cruise from Barcelona to Madagascar on a yacht owned by Ruben's arch-rival, Anton Dubec, a Ukrainian oligarch/mob boss. The game is on, the hand is dealt, and Caleigh is the prey!

In book Three, "Murder in the Leeward Islands," Caleigh returns to Barcelona, planning to reunite with Anton, when her family abducts her and flies her to a secluded island in the Caribbean, where they intend to keep her until she agrees to divorce Anton. Caleigh meets Alia, Ruben's daughter, who is also trapped on the island. Alia, Caleigh, and their guards/housekeepers/friends are drinking and dancing on the beach when Anton's team, led by Maksym, arrives, and Caleigh is rescued. Maksym sees the beautiful young Alia on the beach and kidnaps her, planning to keep her.

In Book Four, "Murder in Windsor," Caleigh has reunited with Anton, her on-again-off-again husband, and they are hosting a party at their mansion on the outskirts of Windsor in honor of Alia and Maksym's wedding. Anton is now officially a tech billionaire and has secured his position in the top echelons of European society by marrying Caleigh. The good times are merrily rolling along when a gang of Bulgarians kidnaps Maria, Alia's doppelganger and maid of honor.

Book Five and the final (maybe?) book in the series "Murder Outside Oxford" tells the story of the final battle between Caleigh's new but dodgy family and the Zori?s, a Bulgarian human trafficking ring.
