Excerpt
“I need your help, Cat. I’m in trouble.
Big trouble.”
The timbre of despair in his voice
alerted her to grief. Loss. She heard it loud and clear. It didn’t matter
whether the speaker was male or female, young or old. When you lost someone
before you should, it always sounded the same. She was trained to recognize
it--personally and professionally. To listen and help. To alleviate others’
pain and hide her own. She stopped pacing and tightened her grip on the
receiver.
“What’s wrong?”
“It’s Sarah.”
Her mind whirled back seven years ago to
the last time she and her family took their annual holiday to Templeton Cove. A
picturesque town situated amongst the spectacular “English Riviera” region of
South West England. The place Jay and his family had lived for generations.
“Sarah? Is she okay?” Cold dread seeped
into Cat’s blood, making goose bumps erupt on her arms. “Jay?”
“She’s dead, Cat. Murdered.”
She sucked in a breath as a lump of
stone dropped into her abdomen. “What?”
“You need to come to the Cove.
Investigate her death. The police here aren’t getting anywhere.” His shaky
breath rasped down the line. “I’m a suspect, Cat. You have to help me. You have
to help me show them--”
“Wait. You’re a suspect?” How could
good, kind-hearted Jay Garrett be a suspect in a murder investigation? The Jay
she remembered always smiled, laughed and kissed with lips that could lead a
girl into all sorts of trouble…
“Please tell me you’re the detective you
always swore you would be. You have to help me. I need you.”
He
needs me. After all this time. “Jay, listen to me. If you’re a
suspect, what happened? Cops do not go around accusing people--”
“The cops are walking around like their
bloody heads are cut off. Sarah’s
parents are waiting for them to release her body while the police point the
finger at me rather than the real killer. I feel trapped, Cat. You’ve got to
come to the Cove.”
