Private Investigator Frankie Barker's life is put in
jeopardy when an ex-convict vows revenge on those he feels responsible for
putting him in prison over thirty-five years ago. The problem is, she was a
child at the time, as were all the names on his list. As he eliminates each
name on the list, the pressure is on to catch him before Frankie becomes his
next victim.
Excerpt
Minutes later, as they lay side by side, Frankie knew that
if her life ended at this moment, she would die a happy woman.
"What are you thinking, baby?" Johanna asked
softly. Her fingertips wound through Frankie's chestnut hair.
"Just how much I love you. Have I told you that
lately?"
"At least ten times a day." Johanna propped
herself on an elbow and stared down at her. "And I love you. I never knew
what love was until you, Frankie."
Frankie smiled, but before she could reply, her cell phone
rang. She groaned. "Who would be calling this early?" She sighed as
she reached for the phone sitting on the nightstand table. She looked at the
name displayed. "It's George." Her heart began to pound. Sheriff
George Ryker wouldn't be calling unless something was wrong.
She flipped the phone open and put it on speaker. "Good
morning, George."
"I'm sorry to bother you so early, Frankie, but I'd
like you and Johanna to stop in my office before you go to work."
"No problem," Frankie replied. "Do you have
some summonses you need delivered?"
"Yes, but there's something else I need to talk to you
about." He paused. "I wouldn't ask if it wasn't important."
Frankie frowned. "What's wrong, George? Has something
happened?"
"I'll explain when you get here."
He disconnected before she could ask another question.
