GENRE: Contemporary

BLURB:
Forty years ago the
Australian rural town of Burrawang Bend was the scene of a brutal murder, and
the townspeople are still calling for justice. Marlee Moore, the suspect’s and
victim’s granddaughter, is fighting to clear her grandfather’s name. And no one
is going to stand in her way. But when things take a dangerous and deadly turn,
Marlee must turn to the one man she was determined to run out of town.
Devon Reilly,
investigative journalist for his hit TV show, Justice Served, is in Burrawang
Bend to solve the forty-year-old cold case murder. But, he didn't bargain on
Marlee keeping him from investigating the case and he soon questions where her
loyalties lie. With the living? Or with the dead? But when Marlee and her son’s
life are put in danger, Devon knows he is the only man who can keep them alive.
But what happens when he soon realizes he is the bigger threat to the woman and
kid he loves?
Excerpt:
Marlee shifted on her seat. She
tapped her fingers against the table, but she would not look at him. Was Marlee
finally beginning to see the holes in Saul’s story?
“I have a copy of the signed
statement in which Saul goes into great detail about Marion having terminal
cancer. I can show it to you if you like.”
“I need to get Max home.” But she
made no move to leave. Instead, she rubbed her hands along her thighs and sank
her teeth into her lower lip. Her foot started to tap beneath the table.
“There’s been a lot to take in. I need to process what I’ve learned tonight.”
She dragged herself to her feet. As
she crossed to his bed, her steps were short and jerky. She turned to face him.
He wanted to tell her not to go. Instead, he pressed his lips together.
“If I have questions, can I call
you?”
Devon nodded. He retrieved his
wallet and withdrew his card. She took it immediately.
Saul Moore had seemingly kept his
head down and had stayed out of trouble for forty years. There’d been no
reported unexplained deaths in or around Burrawang Bend. But Devon was in town
to poke the bear. And an angry bear was a dangerous one.
“Marlee, I can’t tell you what to
do, but I can ask you to be careful. Think twice if you’re going to confront
him with what you’ve learnedtonight.”
Devon stood at the door and watched
Marlee and Max drive into the darkness. What was she heading to? Was she going
to confront Saul with what she had learned?
He reached for his mobile and dialed
Annie. She answered on the second ring. “Get a pair of eyeballs on Marlee
Moore.”
“Why? What’s going on?”
“I think she may have just realized
her grandfather is a murderer.”
