Look The Other Way

Beschreibung

A young woman found bleeding to death on a stranger's front lawn uses her last breath to whisper two words: I'm sorry. That's a first for reporter Kate Bennett. She's determined to find out why a murder victim felt compelled to apologize. And she's sure she won't have to wait long for answers. Detective Peter Johnson is one of the Galveston Police Department's best investigators. Kate gives him a week to bring the killer to justice. She can't wait to splash the news in 48-point type across the front page of the Galveston Gazette. But the case goes cold right from the start. One week quickly turns into two. When a dock worker becomes the second unsolved murder of the summer, Kate starts to lose faith in Johnson's ability to deliver the justice she longs for. Then the police chief disbands the island's special crimes task force, and Kate's convinced he's got something to hide. Figuring out what could be her next big scoop. Unless the killer scoops her first.

Autor

Leigh Jones started her writing career in elementary school with a story about an enterprising hamster making a bid to take over the world. But after college, she set all dreams of fiction writing aside to chase the daily adrenaline rush of seeing her byline in print. She covered school board meetings, city council intrigue, and the occasional heart-warming feature for several daily newspapers in Texas. She even covered a few murders and one very big hurricane.She never considered returning to fiction until she became an editor and no longer got to see her byline on the front page. Facing serious adrenaline withdrawals, she began plotting her first novel. Eight years later, it finally hit the virtual store shelves as Look The Other Way, book one in the Galveston Crime Scene series. Adverse Events, the second book in the series, came out a year later.When she's not writing fiction, Leigh works as the executive features editor at WORLD News Group, a national Christian media outlet that practices biblically objective journalism. There she shepherds long-form story projects for print and podcast.She lives with her husband and daughter near Houston.
