A Jake Carrington Mystery
Violence is a way of life for Lieutenant Jake Carrington. Ten years on the Wilkesbury Police Force has made him a cynical man. If asked, he would have said he'd seen it all, but today proved he hadn't. Tears dripped from his eyes as he looked down at the battered, lifeless body of the infant girl. Jake knew man's ability to hurt man had no limits, but this death went beyond. While processing the scene his cell phone continually rang. After identifying the caller each time, Jake pressed the ignore button. It was another case that needed his attention, the brutal rape and murder of a young college student. The case has baffled him from the start. There was no physical evidence pointing to a suspect. The victim's sister continually calls him under the pretense of checking up on the case. Jake shook his head. He had made a mistake when he briefly dated Chloe Wagner. She seemed to have made a connection, he didn't. Jake had to deal with the possibility that the case of the college student could go unsolved if no new evidence was discovered. A sexual homicide, especially one he can't solve, deeply disturbs Jake; his own sister was brutally raped and murdered in their teen. Eva's death was the reason he became a cop. Running the homicide department wasn't just a job it was his only passion; that was, until Mia Andrews came along. While he scrambles to solve the recent murder of a fifty year old woman, Jake and his partner, Louie rework the college student case hoping to turn up new leads. What he needed was a miracle. To complicate matters, the victim's sister, Chloe, was stalking him and Mia. Though he dated Chloe only twice, the repercussions could destroy his career, now that Chloe was the number one suspect in her sister's death.
