When I think of an unproductive writer, I think of a bowl of cooked
spaghetti—limp, colorless, tasteless, no energy. It’s been submerged into
boiling water and didn’t survive. None of us want to fall into that category

How can we ensure our manuscripts are fresh, filled with vitality, and eagerly read?

Two murders have rocked the city of Houston. Are they the work of a serial
killer, or is a copycat trying to get away with murder?
That is the
question facing Special Agent Bethany Sanchez, who is eager for her new
assignment in violent crimes but anxious about meeting her new partner. Special
Agent Thatcher Graves once arrested her brother, and he has a reputation for
being a maverick. Plus, their investigative styles couldn’t be more opposite: he
operates on instinct, while she goes by the book.
When hot leads soon
fizzle out, their differences threaten to leave them deadlocked. But an attempt
on their lives turns up the heat and brings them closer together, and a third
victim might yield the clue that will help them zero in on a killer. This could
be the case of their careers . . . if they can survive long enough to solve it.
