Detective Jackson is called to the scene of a murder and
finds a little boy hidden under the floor. The poor boy is
so traumatized he won't let Detective Jackson turn him over
to anyone. Now Detective Jackson must not only find a
killer but find someone to care for the boy so he can work
on the case. But with his girlfriend in the hospital with
the mother of her grandson close to death, and daughter
hesitant to help him, his case work is hindered.
Meanwhile, Detective Evans one of the best detectives
Jackson works with has a murder of her own to investigate
and it may be connected to the young mother of his
girlfriend's grandson laying in the hospital close to
death. As the cases become intertwined and the danger
rises Jackson must make a decision that will impact his
life and those around him, but first he must catch the
killer.
I have not previously read the Detective Jackson series by
L.J. Sellers and was able to join into the storyline and
fit right in. The characters who were probably developed
in previous stories but were explained enough that a new
reader could understand the direction of the series. This
particular storyline had a few good twists tying together
both cases that were being worked on bringing all the
characters together. Maybe a few things could have been
explained more but I can't get specific without giving away
the story.
L.J. Sellers has created an interesting group of characters
that have the same flaws every other human on the planet
does and that makes them easy to read and enjoy. DEADLY
BONDS has mystery, murder, and a little boy that needs help,
making for a good story.
When a young mother is found murdered in a derelict Eugene
neighborhood—and her terrified young son is discovered
hiding beneath the floorboards—Detective Jackson reluctantly
takes the case. His own life is already in chaos, with his
runaway teenage daughter, Katie, still gone and his
girlfriend, Kera, facing her own family crisis.
Matters get more complicated when the orphaned boy bonds
with Jackson, triggering unexpected emotions and
compromising his ability to investigate. Meanwhile,
Detective Evans, one of Jackson’s most valuable colleagues,
is pulled off the case to look into the death of a
University of Oregon football star—leaving the homicide task
force shorthanded.
As Jackson works to solve the murder and find a home for
little Benjie, he soon faces devastating choices that
threaten everything he holds dear.
