BLURB:
INSATIABLE is the third novel in my Sydney Rye
Series of dark murder mysteries. This series feature a strong female
protagonist and her canine best friend. It is recommended for the 18+ who enjoy
some violence, don't mind dirty language, and are up for a dash of sex. Not to
mention an awesome, rollicking good mystery!
INSATIABLE
begins with private detective Sydney Rye living a simple, disciplined life in London , but when a dangerous man from her past calls, Rye finds she cannot turn
him away. Robert Maxim explains that the daughter of a powerful friend has gone
missing and he wants Rye
to find her. In exchange he offers her something she had given up hope of ever
having; freedom from her past.
With
her dog, Blue, at her side, Rye meets up with her new partner, a handsome man
she's not sure she can trust. Heading for Mexico City, they go undercover,
posing as husband and wife. After meeting with the bereaved parents, Rye starts
to sense that there is more going on than just a missing girl. But it isn't
until they arrive in the Yucatan Peninsula, hot on the girl's trail in
Paradise, that all hell breaks loose. Sydney has to reach out for help from old
friends and deal with the consequences of her past, if she's going to find the
girl and keep them all alive.
Excerpt
Around
the next bend a chicken was in the road. Jimmy saw it and swerved into a rut to
avoid it. It was a wild, out-of-control move and I grabbed at the door trying
to steady myself. The Jeep jerked down and then up again as Jimmy powered us
out of the ditch and back onto the road. "What the ---!" I yelled.
"There
was a chicken."
"Next
time --- hit the chicken!"
That's
exactly what the guy in the black Jeep did. I turned around to see the feathers
exploding with a mix of blood and guts against the guy's grill. He drove
through the chicken into the shade of a tree and I saw him. I saw Blane. He was
wearing wrap-around sunglasses - the kind douche bags think look cool. His
mouth was a straight line, his face made of stone.
I
rested my new gun on the shoulder of my seat and tried to steady my aim as we
raced back past the Home Depot. Jimmy swerved around other cars, at times
facing oncoming traffic, to further our escape. It was impossible to get a
clear shot. I turned back around as we crested a hill and we could see the town
below us.
Traffic
became congested as we got closer to town. I turned around and saw that Blane
was stuck several cars behind us. There was no way he could fire off any rounds
with all these people around. We stopped at a red light and I waved to Blane.
He raised a gun and I dropped down in my seat as I heard a window shatter. It
wasn't our car but the one right behind us.
