Brandilyn Collins has been writing Seatbelt Suspense (her tag line) for a long time and she never fails to keep me sitting on the edge of my seat when I'm reading one of her books. And I always learn something new. In Deceit she taught me about the job of skip tracing.
Protag, Joanne Collins, is a skip tracer. Someone who with the help of technology rarely has to leave home to track down fugitives, scam artists, or whatever when they try to disappear. In Deceived, Joanne nearly comes to the end of her rope when her skip tracing skills lead her out of her home and into the suspenseful world of Brandilyn Collins.
Once I started reading this book, I. Could. Not. Put. It. Down. Collins takes the reader on a journey wrought with twists and turns that keeps him or her guessing until the very end.
You can get it at Amazon!
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Brandilyn Collins is an award-winning and best-selling novelist known for her trademark Seatbelt Suspense®. These harrowing crime thrillers have earned her the tagline "Don't forget to b r e a t h e..."® Brandilyn's first book, A Question of Innocence, was a true crime published by Avon in 1995. Its promotion landed her on local and national TV and radio, including the Phil Donahue and Leeza talk shows. Brandilyn is also known for her distinctive book on fiction-writing techniques, Getting Into Character: Seven Secrets a Novelist Can Learn From Actors (John Wiley & Sons). She is now working on her 20th book.
In addition, Brandilyn’s other latest release is Final Touch, third in The Rayne Tour series—young adult suspense co-written with her daughter, Amberly. The Rayne Tour series features Shaley O’Connor, daughter of a rock star, who just may have it all—until murder crashes her world.
ABOUT THE BOOK
The police tell Joanne to leave well enough alone, but Joanne is determined to bring Jackson down. Using her skip tracing skills, she sets out to locate Melissa Harkoff, now twenty-two, who lived in the Jackson home at the time of Linda Jackson's disappearance.
As Joanne drives home on a rainy winter night, a hooded figure darts in front of her car. In her headlight beams she glimpses the half-concealed face of a man, a rivulet of blood jagging down his cheek. She squeals to a stop but clips him with her right fender. Shaking, she gets out of her car in the pouring rain. The man will not let her see his face. Before he limps off into the night he warns her not to talk to police.
As Joanne tries to find Melissa, someone seems to be after her. Who was the man she hit on the road. Is Baxter Jackson out to silence her? Or is some other skip she's traced in the past now out for revenge?
