A Different Kind of Fire & Fury: Revenge
by Julie Reichwein
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Crime, Mystery, Thriller (Psychological)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Detective
Michelle Velasquez kicks ass with the Santa Fe Police Department, and she’ll
need all her moxie May, 2013 as she’s assigned two cases which may be related.
She’s assigned a vicious rape case of Maria Acevedo, an intern with the Jones
Financial Group, as she gets a call from an old friend, Richard Stanberry III.
He’s intent on re-connecting, but she’s suspicious of his motives for good
reason.
As
she digs into Maria Acevedo’s rape case, she’s assigned a thirty year old
murder case of her former friend, Susie Murphy, who happened to be Richard
Stanberry III’s girlfriend at the time of her murder. If Detective Velasquez
wants to solve both cases, she’s going to have to put her life on the line to
uncover some dark secrets that some prefer to stay buried.

EXCERPT TWO:
Otto
and I walked into the Pueblo style building with a Xeriscape garden and a stone
pebble walkway. The security guard ushered us to a room, with a Kiva fireplace
in the corner and a Kermanshaw antique Navajo rug, where the victim, Maria
Acevedo, drew back. She was
wrapped
in an Eyedazzler homespun blanket and desperate for a friend. In need of
privacy, I motioned for the street cops to clear out as I read her personnel
file.
Maria
Acevedo was a new employee as she cringed with the eyes on her. So did the man
justify his actions because she wore the wrong outfit? It said, “Yes,” in his
perverted mind as her words said, “No.” In his eyes, she chose the wrong
profession, so she had to be put in her
proper
place. She didn’t know that, “No,” meant nothing because she was a, ”Nobody,”
in his hate filled eyes. Women were born with a brain, so was her intelligence
unimportant because she wore a skirt? She worked harder than most, to show
everyone she belonged, but she would never have a man’s physical strength which
did not give him the right to take from her what she never agreed to. All she
asked was to be treated with the same respect as those who wore pants to the
office. Was that too much to expect?
With
a blank look on her face, so I introduced myself and said, “I’m Detective
Michelle Velasquez, and this is Otto. What’s your name?”
“Maria
Acevedo.” Her head down, her shoulders convulsed, and her face ashen as the
parade of onlookers unnerved her, so Otto laid down next to her.
I
knelt down and said, “Can you tell me what happened to you?”
he
said, “A man raped me,” as she shook from side to side. After a moment, she pet
Otto, my four year old German Shepherd, and she began to settle. Her attack had
nothing to do with desire; it had everything to do with hate. #HerToo.
