A Jesse Quinn Mystery

Beschreibung

Bullseye is the debut book of the new whodunit Jesse Quinn Detective Series. A. E. Howe, author of the Larry Macklin Mysteries says that Bullseye is, "A fast paced whodunit with lots of surprises! Deputy Jesse Quinn is a welcome new addition for mystery lovers." Jesse Quinn, the only female detective on the major crimes squad in St. John's County Florida, and her partner Rafe are sent to investigate the bludgeoning death of a well-known socialite. Dan Hoffman, the dead woman's husband found her in a puddle of blood and called 911. Jesse has known Dan for years and doesn't believe he would kill his new bride, but the woman's father, who never liked Dan, wants him arrested. But then, Dan himself is found nearly dead in his hotel room of what appears to be a self-inflicted gunshot. As Jesse and Rafe hunt for two men, one mentioned in the dead woman's diary, and another whose fingerprints were found on the murder weapon, a man on the run claims the woman's murder is tied to a cover-up over an incident in Afghanistan and to two previous deaths, but before he can reveal more, he is shot. Four people are dead, and two more attempts have been made. A rival in the Sheriff's office wants to take over the investigation and pressure is mounting to arrest Jesse's friend. Will she and Rafe be able to put all the pieces together before she is sidelined and Dan is put on trial for his wife's murder? Lovers of a strong female protagonist who is both courageous and flawed will love this dynamic new series by Skye Taylor as she breaks into the mystery genre with guns blazing.

Autor

Skye Taylor considers life an adventure and willingly admits that she often dances to a very different piper. She claims that motherhood is the biggest and most rewarding adventure of her life and she is proudest of the five wonderful people her children have grown up to be. But now that they are on their own and have presented her with twelve terrific grandchildren to spoil, she has spread her wings and flown as far as the South Pacific where she spent two years in the Peace Corps. She's jumped out of perfectly good airplanes and earned a basic sky diving license, and she gets dressed up in the garb of an 18th century Spanish citizen to volunteer at the historic tavern in the oldest city in North America. Having been born and lived most of her life in New England, she is now a transplanted Yankee soaking up the sun, warmth and history of St Augustine, Florida where she lives with her furry buddy, MacDuff. She spends most of her free time writing novels, volunteering in the living history Spanish Quarter and walking on the beach. Besides her children and grandchildren, she loves traveling, chocolate, the ocean, anything that flies, reading, NCIS and history - not necessarily in that order.
