PICTURE ME, A MYSTERY

GENRE: mystery

BLURB:
Melissa Grant has escaped the clutches of death, not once, not twice,
but three times. While she considers this to be divine intervention, her
assailant is sure that her luck will run out, and the authorities are
suspicious that Melissa isn’t as innocent as she seems. Implicated in the
murders of two of her closest friends, and running from both a hit man and the
law, Melissa does what is thought to be impossible in the 21st Century – she
disappears. Julie Lawson has no family, no friends, and no past. She spends her
days photographing the country and her nights tossing and turning as nightmares
plague her sleep. While passing through the town of St. Brendan, on Maryland’s
Eastern Shore, Julie finds some things she hasn’t had in a very long time – a
home, friends, and love. For the first time in two years, Julie can see her
future, but she can attain it only by surviving a predator from her past. Eric
West has a past of his own that he is trying to forget. His return to his
hometown keeps his demons away until he meets Julie, and she stirs up emotions
in him that he hasn’t felt in a long time. As he slowly begins to let go of
this past, Eric tries to break down the walls that Julie has so tightly built
around herself. Gaining her trust one small act at a time, and hiring the best
investigator in DC to dig for answers, Eric opens the Pandora’s Box to Julie’s
past which threatens all of their futures.
EXCERPT:
Julie hadn’t thought to bring a flashlight with her
and now regretfully acknowledged one of the many pitfalls of no longer owning a
smartphone. As darkness fell, she picked
up her pace, unsure of how much farther she had to go until the end of the
trail. Surely it was safe to be out here
in the dark at night, right? This was a
small town, after all. An owl hooted, and
the hair on the back of Julie’s neck stood.
Once again, she felt that familiar feeling that jump-started her heart
to begin thumping in her chest. She was
not alone.
