Download or read book Jackie Harlan Mystery Box Set written by Marti Talbott and published by MT Creations Corporation. This book was released on 2018-11-27 with total page 852 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seattle Quake 9.2 - They knew it could happen - scientists had been warning them for years. Yet, nearly two million people living in the greater Seattle area went about their daily lives as usual. A Detective Agency thought they had found a missing woman, an upstart radio station was on the air, and an eccentric banker had just started a round of golf. Thousands were driving on freeways, shopping in malls, awaiting flights, working in downtown high-rises, and on buses in the bus tunnel. They knew -- they just didn't believe it could happen to them. Missing Heiress - The Harlan Detective Agency was the best there was when it came to finding missing people. They were also the most expensive, so it was no coincidence that they were hired to find the heir to a fortune totaling over 1.6 billion dollars. Nicholas Gladstone left everything to a granddaughter he didn't know he had until a week before he died, but which one was it - the maid secretly working in the parent's home, an office worker, or the young woman tragically killed in a car accident? Greed and a Mistress - Mark Barrett thought having an affair was no big deal as long as his wife didn't find out. That was before he got arrested for the hit-style murder of a wealthy old woman. What drew the Jackie Harlan Detective Agency to the fascinating trial in Portland, Oregon was the hope of finding a child that had been missing for years.

Book excerpt: The last thing practical, no-nonsense 36-year-old New Orleans schoolteacher Nettie Dunbar expects when she gives fourth-grader Anthony detention is having the business end of a gun jammed into her face. But that's just one surprise that awaits Nettie when she discovers he'd been living on his own in the small shotgun unaware that his mama was lying dead in the shed out back. With daughter Abby away for spring break and skeptical that the young detective assigned to the case will follow through, Nettie decides to do some snooping of her own, though she has no idea what she's doing--or what she's getting into. No matter. This isn't the first time she's had to go it alone, thanks to her snake of an ex-husband and the jaded opinion that men should be seen and not held--despite Lieutenant Gil McManus's efforts. Determined not to let a little thing like a death threat stop her, and with only her instincts to guide her, Nettie stumbles her way through a maze of lies and secrets from the dismal housing projects to the tawdry clip joints of Bourbon Street. Oh, and as far as Nettie is concerned, that snotnose McManus can go jump in the Mississippi River.
