Romance | Mystery Amateur Sleuth

Kendra Michaels has heightened senses after being born blind and then having her eyesight restored. She is a therapist who uses music to help children with disabilities but is often drawn into a murder case, missing persons or even serial killer cases because of her unique ability to “see” things most people can’t.
 
In FLASHBACK a retired police detective calls on her to help with a case that was never closed. Two daughters of one of the victims were doing their best to find the killer and the detective feels they are on to something. Kendra is unable to say no but makes no promises and takes all the boxes of information the woman has gotten from the girls. Little did she know that getting these boxes was the perfect time as this seems to signal a danger to any who have any information on the Bayside Strangler. And sometimes the one that gets away is the one the killer wants the most.
 
FLASHBACK pits Kendra, her lover Adam Lynch and others against a serial killer that is not what you expect. This is an amazingly quick read and I mean that in a positive light – as in the way you won’t want to put it down and want to keep flipping the pages to find out what happens next.
 
Kendra and Lynch have a unique relationship. He wants to put her in a bubble and keep her safe and she won’t stand for that ever, but he thinks nothing of climbing down a cliffside after being told the fire department was waiting for a helicopter to perform a rescue. He is a freelance government agent who seems to have nine lives and still has at least seven left. Wealthy enough to buy a beach house on a whim because she liked being there. Olivia, her blind friend from childhood and her intern – Zach a student from USC saves the day by going to Kendra’s apartment and taking the boxes for him to scan. This is important as you will find out as you read FLASHBACK!
 
FLASHBACK is filled with an amazing storyline that can always be found in Iris and Roy Johansen Kendra Michael’s book and as always the danger, intrigue and dialogue will have you spellbound.

SUMMARY

Kendra Michaels uses her heightened powers of deduction to draw out a serial killer who has not been seen or heard from in over fifteen years. 

Chloe and Sloane Morgan were only children when their mother was the second victim of the Bayside Strangler. Now, after spending fifteen years trying to discover his identity, the sisters have suddenly vanished. Were they getting too close to the truth? The police consider their interest in the crime to be just a coincidence and have little motivation to pursue the cold case.
         Armed with the box of photos, videos, police reports, and notes gathered by the sisters over the years—plus the extraordinary senses from being blind before recovering her sight via a revolutionary surgical procedure—Kendra follows the sisters’ trail of clues.  Little does she realize that her search is about to unleash a long-dormant killer on San Diego.  With help from government agent-for-hire Adam Lynch and private eye Jessie Mercado, Kendra must race to discover the identity of an infamous killer, not only to save the lives of the two sisters but also untold others.
