(Carmedy & Garrett Investigations Book 2)

Kate recently inherited half her father's private investigation company and a partner who is as irritating as he is attractive. Kate has been avoiding Jake Carmedy for years, but now her life might depend on him.

2017 Arthur Ellis Awards Finalist, Lou Allen Memorial Award for Best Novella

"Beginning with a serial cat killer and moving into more serious and dangerous territory, the plot is surprising and interesting. There's a touch of romance, a great mystery, and a setting that's out of this world (or out of this present world, I should say)."
Catherine Astolfo, award winning author of Sweet Karoline

 

DEADLY ART

(Carmedy & Garrett Investigations Book 3)



Things are looking up for Kate Garrett. Or are they?

She’s moving into the apartment she inherited, along with half her father's detective agency. Her new business partner, Jake Carmedy, trusts her enough to ask for help. And she has a new case of her own. 

This case involves ransomware, not exactly in Kate’s wheelhouse. However, Professor Smyth is sure that he is being personally targeted by one of his colleagues or students. Finding the person is as important to him as undoing the damage to his system. Someone has been filling his server and cloud storage with subscriptions to racist, sexist and pornographic e-zines. The latter includes one creator that thinks revenge killing is video art, and it's up to Kate to expose the murderer before he strikes again. 

 

"Well written and compelling - a book that reflects our disturbing times and will stay with you long after you've finished it." 

 Melodie Campbell, author of The Silent Film Star Murders
