Bidder Regrets

The fourth Kerry Grant adventure finds our Chicago Police Detective chasing down online auction crooks.

Mike stiffened as Kerry’s chair slid away from her desk and produced a blood-curdling screech. She’d wanted to tell him about an article on her computer and in her excitement, moved too quickly forcing bare metal parts to converge in a discordant and truly painful noise. Seconds later, his shoulders tightened again when in response to the sound, Kerry dumped coffee down the front of her shirt.

“Damn it.” Her high top sneakers slapped the linoleum as she jumped to her feet and sloshed more of the brown liquid, this time to the floor. “I just picked this shirt up from the laundry last night.” Kerry pinched a top button with the thumb and forefinger of her free hand and pulled at it vigorously to air out the fabric. “Stupid chair.” She shouted and added a string of words that effectively expressed her mood and made Mike smile. A person less familiar with his partner might have blushed.

 

Identity Murder

In the first book of the Chicago Police Detective Kerry Grant series, Kerry takes her expertise undercover with the mob. There, she teaches eager cyber thugs online swindles and scams while checking out their involvement in internet crime. Unfortunately, they catch her hacking into their system, and she realizes she taught them one trick too many.  As she reaches for her weapon, she faces the barrel end of a gun in the hand of a man she doesn’t want to love.
