About PJ Cole
PJ Cole is an author of fast-paced psychological thrillers where flawed women face powerful enemies with twisted minds—and their own darkest truths.
He has been a public speaker, podcaster, and leadership mentor for over twenty years.
And now he brings that expertise on the human mind and spirit to the psychological thriller genre.
PJ writes for readers who thought they had it figured out — right up until the moment they realized they never did. For readers who believe the most compelling heroes are women who are flawed, frightened, and completely unstoppable anyway. And for readers who have always suspected that the people in power are hiding something — and want a thriller that makes that suspicion feel terrifyingly real.
A native of Southern California, when PJ isn’t writing, teaching, or speaking, he loves spending time with Rachel, his wife of 20+ years, golfing, BBQ’ing for friends and family in the back yard, and rooting for his beloved Lakers.
THE ARCHITECT
The Most Dangerous Man in the City
Was the One She Trusted Most
Detective Samantha Gray has seen a lot of crime scenes.
She has never seen one like this.
A powerful man — dead on the floor of his penthouse apartment.
A message written above his body in his own blood:
"Sins of the King are coming due."
And standing in the doorway — calm, controlled, and completely out of place — is Lucas King.
The billionaire whose name is smeared across the crime scene. The man who should not be here.
The man Samantha cannot stop watching.
He says he did not do it.
The evidence says otherwise.
And somewhere in the space between those two things — a city full of powerful people with devastating secrets is holding its breath.
As Samantha digs deeper into the murder, she uncovers something far more dangerous than one dead man in a penthouse.
THE ARCHITECT is a pulse-pounding psychological thriller that will pull you in from the very first blood-soaked page and refuse to let you go until the shocking final revelation.
It is the story of a detective who thinks she is hunting a killer.
It is the story of a woman who does not yet realize she is the one being hunted.
