Casket Girl
by Maggie Mae Gallagher
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE:
Paranormal Romantic Suspense
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
All
he wants is to find a killer...
FBI Special
Agent Josh Blake has seen some bizarre cases in his day. His latest case is one
for the record books. He has multiple homicides, corpses drained of every ounce
of blood, and no suspects. When rumors surface that the French Quarter may be
hiding an insidious monster bent on drenching the streets in dead bodies, he
must suspend logic and place his trust in the mystical.
She
wants a fresh start...
Isabelle
Toussánt left her family home in the bayou five year ago, cutting all ties with
her abusive whiskey swilling stepfather, to forge a new life in the French
Quarter. Now a successful business owner of Madam Toussánt’s Mystical Gifts in
Jackson Square, and a Seer with voodoo roots. The foundation of her new life
shatters when one of her employee’s winds up dead and she is dragged into a
deadly game where she becomes the target of a serial killer.
A
passion neither expected...
Determined to
stop the brutal slayings, Josh must rely on the beautiful Isabelle who makes
him question everything he has ever known about life and death all while
surrendering to a desire hotter than a Bayou night. When Isabelle disappears
without a trace, with tourists flocking to the party capital for Halloween, and
the body count continues to mount, Josh will be forced to push beyond the
boundaries of what he thinks is possible and rescue the woman he loves before
it's too late.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT THREE:
“Okay,
Josh. What would you like to know?”
“I
need to inform you first of your right to have an attorney present.” There was
the uptight termagant for rules, law and order.
“Why
would I need an attorney? You don’t think I’m a suspect, do you?” A stifled
laugh caught and died in her throat. She, Isabelle Toussánt, a suspect in a
murder case? Not in this lifetime. Although, by his tone she instinctively knew
he wasn’t kidding, not one bit. Isabelle was rarely ever shocked. Her gift of
foresight kind of gave her the 411 on what was coming, most of the time. This
was a curve she hadn’t expected. What was next, the revival of the Spanish
Inquisition?
He
chewed over her response a moment, paying attention to her every subtle move,
before answering. “That remains to be seen. If you could run me through the
events this morning, please.”
Like
she’d already done at least a half-dozen times for the New Orleans police, but
what was one more time hashing through the gory details of a morning she’d
rather be forgetting?
“I
woke up early, just before dawn,” she explained, unease settling in her belly.
He couldn’t really believe she was capable of something like that, could he?
Her persona didn’t scream psycho killer in her book. Maybe she was a bit
eclectic in her tastes, but she didn’t even kill spiders, preferring to
relocate them outside.
“Is
that a habit of yours?” he asked, looking up from his note-taking.
“I’m
a pretty early riser, but lately I’ve been waking earlier than usual.” She
couldn’t believe she’d just admitted that. She might as well have painted a
sign on her forehead that read, Potential killer. Ask me how. She shook her
head at the absurdity of it all.
“Any
particular reason?” His pen hovered above the notepad.
How
did she answer this one without sounding guilty? Because if she indicated that
she’d been having bad dreams that were giving her bits of early morning
insomnia, he’d want to know what they were about. She didn’t want to explain
this point, not when the dreams were rooted in her past. Then she’d have to
explain the beatings and abuse. The last emotion she wanted to see on his face
was pity. She’d gotten out. She’d survived the trauma. And even if there were
parts of her that still resonated with her past, there was nothing she could
gain from telling him the truth. She’d beg forgiveness from the goddess later
for her dishonesty. No good would come out of explaining this to him, there was
no point. She knew she had nothing to do with Kiri’s murder.
“No,”
she lied, controlling her features, understanding that he could toss her in
jail for obstruction on a federal case. And then they would discover the truth,
the one she’d kept buried for years regarding her identity. If it got out… A
terrified tremor ran along her spine. Then he would know and he would find her.
She’d rather die.
