Book excerpt: Two close calls with death and the lingering guilt he harbors over the injury to Detective David Sizemore compounds Joe Hampton’s ongoing attempt to come to terms with the passing of his wife. Persuaded to assume the role of consultant to the homicide division soon has him and Detective Carly Truffant on the trail of a serial killer who mutilates his victims. Uncovering the identity of the killer proves as difficult as understanding why rookie Detective Dani Mc Masters resents him being a part of the team. An unexpected turn of events finds Joe and McMasters trapped and fighting for their lives. Then, his dream of a peaceful getaway is shattered when he finds himself in the middle of an investigation during his visit to a small community on the coast of southwest Florida. The help of a stranger before joining forces with the lead detective doesn’t keep him from the prospect of winding up in a watery grave. Upon his return home, Joe helps Detective Truffant trace the origin of human bones uncovered on a local beach. As they dig deeper, they come to realize that the skeleton may have a connection to the disappearance of an aunt that Truffant never knew. Praise for YESTERDAY RISING: “An authentic police voice.

Download or read book The Jan Larkin Mysteries Vol 1 written by Stephen Burdick and published by Down & Out Books. This book was released on 2024-01-29 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Detective Jan Larkin’s career with the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office is rife with success. But an elevated level of achievement comes at a high personal price. “Echoes of Janie” begins with Jan summoned by her partner, Detective Seeward Sinclair, to examine a body on the shore behind a condominium in Madeira Beach. Jan’s exasperation at having her day off interrupted turns to dismay when the victim turns out to be Janie Ballantine, daughter of District Attorney David Ballantine. Hearing of his daughter’s murder devastates Ballantine, disrupting his prosecution of crime boss Colby Rittenhouse. As Jan and Seeward delve further into their investigation, a suspect quickly emerges. Daniel Peck, Janie’s boyfriend, can’t seem to recall what happened between him and Janie the night she was murdered. Evidence uncovered later points directly to Peck. Although Seeward is certain Peck is the killer, Jan begins to question certain pieces of evidence. Days later, when one of Janie’s neighbors reports having seen a stranger milling around the condominium shortly before Janie’s murder, the detectives’ interest shifts to a bodyguard of Colby Rittenhouse. “The Original Thirteen Murders” has Jan called upon to investigate the discovery of a winter visitor found dead on the beach. No leads or witnesses to the case doesn’t help matters. The second murder, a young woman visiting her grandparents, provides Jan with a suspect. Time works against Jan, increasing her frustration, until she learns of similar details of other unsolved murders in the area. Playing a hunch, Jan proposes an unusual scenario that suggests a serial killer might be on the loose. Who the killer might be and where he might strike next is the problem facing her. “Shadow Of Deceit” finds Jan looking into the murder of a retired police lieutenant from Michigan. Digging further into his background, she finds his career has been tainted. An unproven association with organized crime makes her suspicious of his lavish lifestyle. Another search of his condominium uncovers a hidden information disc. The encrypted message on the disc reveals the names of the victim and four other men, their bank accounts in the Cayman Islands, and the amount of money in each account. The murders continue but the reason for the elimination of those named on the disc remains unknown until Jan receives a phone call from an unlikely source. Critical Acclaim for The Jan Larkin Mysteries: “The Jan Larkin Mysteries combines the depth of classic noir with the intrigue of contemporary police procedurals to deliver three gripping novellas right up to the jagged coast of the Florida Gulf. With this latest offering, Stephen Burdick is proving his voice among the ranks of Sunshine Noir authors.” —Steph Post, author of Lightwood

That vision was Pickwick."
