Thriller | Suspense

MY SISTER'S KEEPER - Congresswoman Davida Grayson, a resilient and persistent stem cell advocate, looks as if she's sleeping in her office. But that's where the similarity ends. Detectives Will Barnes and Amanda Isis arrive at the office only to begin sorting through the gruesome and unbelievable evidence of a horrific murder. Will and Amanda embark on an intriguing investigation that will unravel a web of lies and deceit among San Francisco's well-known socialites and promises to keep you mesmerized page after page.

MUSIC CITY BREAKDOWN - Jack Jeffries, a once legendary songwriter and singer from the 1960s, is found brutally murdered in a dark and gloomy Nashville alley. Detectives Baker Southerby and his partner, LaMar Van Gundy, initiate an investigation that will lead them in the heartfelt search of a killer. During the quest for justice, one of the detectives will reunite with his own past and his love of music, while the other is thankful for his future.

What an incredible duo! This is the second successful collaboration of husband and wife novelists Jonathan and Faye Kellerman and hopefully will not be their last. They each bring their own style and creativity to these two fast-paced and captivating stories. A GREAT READ!

SUMMARY

MY SISTER’S KEEPER: BERKELEY

Progressive state representative Davida Grayson fits in well with her Berkeley constituents. But some of Davida’s views have made her unpopular elsewhere. Davida’s foes are numerous: politicians on the other side of the aisle, racist hatemongers, even dissenters in her own party. Still, no one suspects that any buttons Davida might push could evoke deadly force.

But now Davida lies brutally murdered in her office, and Berkeley homicide detectives Will Barnes and Amanda Isis must unravel Davida’s complex, surprising life in order to find her killer. As they dig deeper, Will and Amanda realize that the real Davida Grayson was someone the public never knew. The investigation draws the detectives into a labyrinth of hidden sexuality, dark secrets, betrayal, and bloody vengeance that leads tortuously into madness. With time short and the suspect list long, Barnes and Isis must find the answers before the killer pulls off a repeat performance.

MUSIC CITY BREAKDOWN: NASHVILLE

Baker Southerby, the son of musicians, was a child prodigy performer. But something Baker won’t talk about leads him to quit the honky-tonk circuit, become a Nashville cop, and never look back. His partner, Lamar Van Gundy, is a would- be studio bassist from up North who never quite made the cut in Music City, so instead earned himself a detective’s badge. Now both men are members of Nashville PD’s elite Murder Squad, with a solid record for solves. But when they catch a homicide that’s high-profile even for a city where musical celebrity is routine, their skills are tested: Jack Jeffries, a rock legend who cast aside personal demons and emerged from retirement to perform at a charity benefit, has been discovered in a ditch near the Cumberland River, his throat slashed.

It’s a whodunit as heartbreaking as it is baffling. Southerby and Van Gundy understand the rhythms of the music biz as intimately as the streets they work–and know that both have their dark sides. What the detectives don’t realize is just how high the price of success can be. Long before the last notes of Jack Jeffries’s final song have faded, Southerby and Van Gundy will learn about the dangers of concealing a hidden past . . . the hard way.
