SHE’S LOST, BUT HELICOPTERS ARE CIRCLING…
THE BAD NEWS: THEY’RE NOT A RESCUE UNIT.

In response to readers' comments, this book was edited after its release. Early purchasers will want to update your file in your Kindle library for an improved reading experience.

Investigative reporter Deuce Mora’s seen it all, been there, done everything – (everything dangerous, anyway) – but waking up in a swamp next to a plane crash is a whole other order of scary. The scariest part: she has no memory of how she got there.

She’s so disoriented she actually considers trusting the mysterious swamp hermit who says he needs to hide her to protect her from the search helicopters circling above.

But he could be right – the helicopters belong to agents of what passes for law and order in Joe Pye County – all of whom are rottener than last Easter’s undiscovered eggs and under the sinister thumb of a sadistic, corrupt sheriff.

If Deuce ever gets out of this alive, she’ll have a lot to answer for to both her editor at the paper (who pointedly instructed her not to go to Joe Pye County) and her fiancé Mark, who did not sign on for Deuce’s daredevil shenanigans. They’re both near the end of their respective ropes.

Deuce, however, hasn’t got the whole corruption story yet. She won’t be leaving any time soon.

A perfect fit for those who love tough-minded sleuths who're good in a fight.

When her first assignment—the accidental death of washed-up child star Chucky Barnard—takes a twist, Shayne sees her shot at redemption. Chucky’s sister insists it was murder, and Shayne is determined to uncover the truth. But with a stubborn detective, a cutthroat Ben, and a killer watching her every move, she’s in over her head.
