Download or read book Stand Alone written by P.D. Workman and published by pd workman. This book was released on 2014-09-03 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is Justine crazy? Everyone thinks so... Her mother. The kids at school, and the teachers and administrators too. Even the police who pick her up from her night rambles. Maybe them most of all. Justine’s therapist says she is ‘troubled’, but it means the same thing. He thinks that her vivid, reoccurring nightmares and atrocious behavior point to some trauma in her past; but Em, Justine’s mother, can’t explain it. Justine used to have Christian, her best friend and skateboard partner. He was the only one who accepted her. Maybe because skating is the only time that Justine is really free to be herself. Now that Christian is gone… Justine keeps thinking things can’t get any worse. Even as she sees her life spinning further and further out of control, Justine can’t give up her sense of who she is—someone far different than the loving daughter Em expects her to be—to just fit in and be happy. She is sure that Em secretly holds the key to who Justine really is. But if she does, Em isn’t talking. —This book is a wonderful story filled with many twists and turns... it will keep you turning the pages until the wee hours of the morning.

When Lauren’s roommate hires Zachary to look into what was, on its surface, a tragic accidental death, Zachary gets more than he bargained for. Not only is there definitely something up at “Chase Gold,” but he quickly realizes that one of the principals of the investment banking firm is Gordon Drake, Zachary’s ex-wife’s current husband. And that is a recipe for disaster. Zachary is running into roadblocks everywhere he turns, and if someone at Drake Chase Gould is responsible for Lauren’s untimely death, then he is putting himself right in the murderer’s crosshairs. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ms. Workman creates characters that are three dimensional, believable, and all-around exceptional. Her "bad guys" have a tendency to come out of left field and catch you by surprise when you find out who it is. Even though Ms. Workman's stories aren't necessarily "shoot 'em up" action-packed (Zachary doesn't carry a gun) there is always plenty of action going on, plenty of suspense, and a lot of not your run of the mill mysteries to solve. If you haven't picked up one of Ms. Workman's novels I recommend that you remedy that lack as soon as possible. Zachary Goldman, Private Investigator, is flawed with a capital F. Shattered by the tragedies of his own life, he will somehow still manage to pick himself up and dig just a little bit deeper than anyone else to find the vital clues. Maybe being broken makes it easier for others who have faced tragedy to trust him. Walk with Zachary as he solves cases that will stretch his abilities to the limit.

Too many missing men Zachary Goldman, PI is deeply flawed, unable to overcome much of his traumatic past, yet he is always ready to defend the underdog and right injustices. When Pat asked him to look into the disappearance of an illegal, Zachary agreed to take it, but didn’t expect to find anything more than a man who had returned to his family or fled immigration officials. But the more he digs, the more missing men Zachary discovers, and it quickly becomes apparent that the disappearance that was deemed by the police not to be suspicious was just the tip of the iceberg. As the body count grows, so does Zachary’s determination to bring the killer to justice, no matter what the cost. The trouble is, this case might cost him dearly. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Having a serial killer targeting a vulnerable segment of the population should give you an idea that this is not a “cozy” murder mystery but be assured that, despite its gritty subject matter, there is no graphic violence, no explicit sexual material, and no excessively coarse language. This completely captivating story held my attention throughout and offered more than enough thrills and chills to ensure that I will absolutely go back and read the previous installments as well as follow this series as it moves forward. Without reservation, I recommend this book to any enthusiast of the detective/private investigator type of mystery stories. Zachary Goldman, Private Investigator, is flawed with a capital F.

Book excerpt: From USA Today Bestselling Author, P.D. Workman! If Reg was going to kill Corvin, she would have done so before now. As much as she might dislike the warlock who has been a thorn in her side ever since moving to Black Sands, she has never tried to kill him. Well, except maybe that one time. But if she did want Corvin dead, she certainly wouldn’t do it by sneaking into his house at night and attempting to stab him as he slept. Or to try to poison him after that. Why can't the police accept that and just move on with their investigation? As the likelihood of arrest and incarceration increases, Reg realizes that she had better identify the actual murderer (or rather, attempted killer) before it is too late. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Just when I think Ms. Workman can’t possibly think up anything different for this series, she delivers big time. —Sandy, Goodreads Reviewer ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This addictive and delightful series delivers everything you might hope for in a great paranormal cozy.
