Character-driven thrillers with danger, dark humor, and heart.

Close-up of Lee Davis Jr. Author

Welcome. I’m Lee Davis Jr., a New Smyrna Beach, Florida-based author drawn to stories about ordinary people forced into extraordinary danger.

Oath of the Osprey begins with a stolen child, a murdered brother, and one oath left to keep.

Douglas Cooper is not a detective, a soldier, or a man looking for a fight. He is a cultural anthropologist with an unusually precise mind, a carefully ordered life, and a grief he has no idea how to survive. But when his brother is murdered while investigating the disappearance of a teenage girl, Doug is pulled into a search that exposes a hidden network built on cruelty, money, and the belief that human lives can be bought and erased.

Together with an unlikely circle of loyal, capable, and fiercely determined allies, Doug follows a trail that leads toward predators who believe they are untouchable.

Oath of the Osprey is a character-driven suspense thriller about ordinary people pushed into danger, the courage it takes to face fear, and the desperate fight to save a stolen child. It blends emotional stakes, gallows humor, and the fierce bonds of found family in a mission where every hour matters.
