About this ebook

Chris Jackson has secrets.

A wildly popular author of suspense novels, Chris hides away in the tiny town of Pyrite, Missouri, where she lives in a converted storefront and practices breaking-and-entering on local businesses.

Most of the citizens of Pyrite happily claim Chris as their very own celebrity. But the new police chief, Al MacNamara isn't one of them. Recently transplanted from the mean streets of Chicago, Mac hates mysteries. And Chris Jackson is a mystery.

Then, the murders begin. Murders that look suspiciously like those in Chris's books. Murders that escalate to a grisly stabbing that exactly mimicks a story no one has read except Chris, herself.

With MacNamara's help, Chris is forced to delve into the dark recesses of her past for answers. Is a madman stalking Chris? Or is Chris right to question her own sanity? Could she be committing the murders herself?

Ratings and reviews

How do two people fleeing demons etched in life experiences face the real world? Mac left his detective job with Chicago PD to become chief of police in Pyrite, MO. Chris wrote murder mysteries and struggled with nightmares to understand her past. Much introspection takes place with both characters as they are drawn into unsolved murders identical to those in Chris' novels. It heats up crime wise.

Love mystery thrillers that hold your attention all the way through from the first to the last chapter.

Very well written
