Murder Matters

About the Book

Warning:  This book is not for the immature or the squeamish!  It definitely fits the violent, sexy, crime-mystery-romance category.  As the story unfolds, the protagonists, Mark Pelletier and Rita Margosa, are confronted with macabre situations, distressing problems, and momentous decisions.  The reader, however, can take comfort in the assurance that “all’s well that ends well,” and the good guys anticipate a happy future.

In the course of the story action, the protagonists eventually unite their efforts and work together investigating and ultimately solving a sadistic crime that they had encountered separately.

Basking then in the heat of torrid passion and the sunlight of their developing mutual true affection, they contemplate a blissful future together.  They have no reason to suspect that a lurking storm of agonizing trauma will overwhelm them¾that they must again suffer and survive an ordeal involving cruel separation and severe physical and emotional suffering, either instigated or inflicted by a conscienceless maniac.

The following excerpts are provided to enable prospective readers to sample (and savor!) incidents typical of the individual lifestyles and interest of the indubitably male and lusciously female protagonists.
