BLURB:
INSATIABLE is the third novel in my Sydney Rye
Series of dark murder mysteries. This series feature a strong female
protagonist and her canine best friend. It is recommended for the 18+ who enjoy
some violence, don't mind dirty language, and are up for a dash of sex. Not to
mention an awesome, rollicking good mystery!
INSATIABLE begins with private detective Sydney Rye living a simple,
disciplined life in London, but when a dangerous man from her past calls, Rye
finds she cannot turn him away. Robert Maxim explains that the daughter of a
powerful friend has gone missing and he wants Rye to find her. In exchange he
offers her something she had given up hope of ever having; freedom from her
past.
With her dog, Blue, at her side, Rye meets up with her new partner, a
handsome man she's not sure she can trust. Heading for Mexico City, they go
undercover, posing as husband and wife. After meeting with the bereaved
parents, Rye starts to sense that there is more going on than just a missing
girl. But it isn't until they arrive in the Yucatan Peninsula, hot on the
girl's trail in Paradise, that all hell breaks loose. Sydney has to reach out
for help from old friends and deal with the consequences of her past, if she's
going to find the girl and keep them all alive.
Excerpt:
Around the next bend a chicken was in the road. Jimmy saw it
and swerved into a rut to avoid it. It was a wild, out-of-control move and I
grabbed at the door trying to steady myself. The Jeep jerked down and then up
again as Jimmy powered us out of the ditch and back onto the road. "What
the fuck!" I yelled.
"There was a chicken."
"Next time fucking hit the chicken!"
That's exactly what the guy in the black Jeep did. I turned
around to see the feathers exploding with a mix of blood and guts against the
guy's grill. He drove through the chicken into the shade of a tree and I saw
him. I saw Blane. He was wearing wrap-around sunglasses - the kind douche bags
think look cool. His mouth was a straight line, his face made of stone.
I rested my new gun on the shoulder of my seat and tried to
steady my aim as we raced back past the Home Depot. Jimmy swerved around other
cars, at times facing oncoming traffic, to further our escape. It was impossible
to get a clear shot. I turned back around as we crested a hill and we could see
the town below us.
Traffic became congested as we got closer to town. I turned
around and saw that Blane was stuck several cars behind us. There was no way he
could fire off any rounds with all these people around. We stopped at a red
light and I waved to Blane. He raised a gun and I dropped down in my seat as I
heard a window shatter. It wasn't our car but the one right behind us.
