Mystery Police Procedural

Detective Joe Frye is the only female officer in the Miami Homicide division, and it's a role she's used to. As a rookie cop in a small town in Michigan, Joe was not only the only female cop, but the first the town had seen. Although it's been 13 years, Joe's experience in Echo Bay, Michigan, still haunts her, and she's finally found someone she trusts enough to bare her soul to. As Joe shares her past with her lover, Louis Kincaid, she knows her secret may change everything.

A THOUSAND BONES takes readers through the mayhem created when a small, sleepy town becomes the center of a murder investigation. As Joe simultaneously tries to find her footing in her new job and maintain her footing in her relationship with Louis, a single bone is found in the woods that will send her world into a tailspin and change her life forever. This is a chilling tale, full of suspense with an ending you'll have to read to believe.

SUMMARY

A woman cop.

A haunting memory....

The only female detective in the Miami PD's Homicide division, Joe Frye

has memories that haunt her, and a past that not even her lover, detective

Louis Kincaid, truly knows. It began when Joe was an ambitious rookie cop in

a small Michigan town called Echo Bay....

The bones found in the woods were the first clue in a string of unimaginably

brutal murders of young women. Plunged into a heated investigation -- and

caught between the dictates of a reluctant local sheriff and the state

police -- Joe soon uncovers the chilling truth: In the dead of winter in the

Michigan woods, she must face down a predator who has chosen her as a

worthy opponent -- or become his next victim.
