I am very pleased to have Noelle Granger join me today. She is launching a new book and is here to tell you about it. Noelle, the floor is yours.
Thank you so much, John. Death at the Asylum is the fifth book in the Rhe Brewster series. The others are Death in a Red Canvas Chair, Death in a Dacron Sail, Death by Pumpkin, and Death in a Mudflat.
Here is the blurb.
Attending the opening of a new commercial center, Rhe Brewster, an ER nurse and police investigator, and her husband Sam, chief of the Pequod police department, save the governor of Maine from a sniper attack. They are assigned to a task force to find the sniper, at the same time trying to identify the person who has stolen Rhe’s personal data and is using it to run up thousands of dollars in debt and even steal their home. Rhe treats a student from Pequod University raped following a night at a local bar and soon discovers there is a serial rapist on the loose. The threats to Rhe and Sam escalate as a sociopath from Rhe’s past reemerges in a strange twist. Are any of these perpetrators linked?
Maine’s most tenacious sleuth is back, surrounded by the colorful characters who populate the coastal town of Pequod. In this fifth installment of the Rhe Brewster Mysteries, Rhe’s strength and determination are tested to their limits while she tries to protect her unborn child.
To give you a flavor of the story, here is an excerpt.
“You don’t want to do that, Morris,” the figure in black said. “So far, you’ve not killed anyone. That’s in your favor.”
“If I’d had my way, this bitch’d be lying cold in her grave by now. Seems having the wheel come off that Jeep weren’t enough. Go ahead and shoot me, but it won’t stop me pulling the trigger and blowing her brains out. If you drop your gun, you might buy Rhe here some more time. I’d enjoy that.”
During this exchange, my heart rate soared, along with my adrenaline levels. My heart pounded so loudly I could hardly hear what they said. I had no doubt the bullet from the gun against my face would do its damage long before Morris himself was hit.
A twinkle of movement caught the corner of my eye. I turned my head ever so slightly to the left, toward one of the front windows. Deputy Birch’s face appeared in one of the broken windows, and she motioned me to duck.
