Publishers Weekly announced the Best Books of 2008, naming
Jordan Dane's
NO ONE HEARD HER SCREAM
(Avon, Mar 2008) as one of the five best in the Mass-Market category.
Publishers Weekly stated, "Dane crafts this debut murder mystery with
tight plotting and smooth prose, and adds a few sparks to create a story that
appeals to mainstream thriller readers as well as romantic suspense fans."
Dane has received awards from thirty-three national writing contests. Her gritty
suspense plots weave a tapestry of vivid settings, intrigue and dark humor.
"Real crime inspires my work," she explains. "The idea behind my debut book came
from the Natalee Holloway case and the online speculation that she was
trafficked from Aruba since the island is close to Venezuela."
In
NO ONE HEARD HER
SCREAM, a San Antonio homicide detective is barred from the investigation
into the abduction and murder of her sister, but when she finds skeletal remains
buried in the wall of an old theatre are from a woman close to her sister's age,
the hunt for a killer becomes a vendetta for justice.
Dane will release a new series starting with
EVIL WITHOUT A FACE (Avon,
Feb 2009) in which an illusive web of imposters on the Internet lures a deluded
teen from her Alaskan home. Dane explores a new kind of criminal organization in
which enemy is faceless and hides behind an insidious global conspiracy. The new
series will feature international settings and will focus on the lives and loves
of three women-a bounty hunter operating outside the law, an ambitious vice cop,
and a former international operative with a mysterious past.
