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
It was the 21st century, but she cowered naked on
the floor as the man in the ivory tower hadn’t signed on to equality in the
workplace. #MeToo It was the age of female empowerment, but the big man in the
office wanted her, in kitten heels, as he walked through her door. It was
the age of feminism but to him it meant she hated
men. For the man filled with hate, the new age woman fueled his anger as he
justified his vile actions. The man forgot the golden rule; sometimes women hit
back. Because you resided in a gated community, it didn’t mean she
wouldn’t come after you. If you’d been more
concerned about revenge, you might have controlled your actions. Since revenge
never crossed your mind, you imposed pain only to learn that it didn’t heal
what ailed you, so it was time for justice to even the scales or revenge would.
All women deserved a dignified and respectful
workplace, and I had a new victim who wouldn’t further her career by getting
down on her knees.
They sent me to the Jones Financial offices, on
Calle Mejia Street, after housekeeping called about an assault. I’d been drawn
to Police work, because I loved to discover secrets, since I was young. How
were puppies made? Could Santa Claus visit every day? These questions
changed as I grew up and became a Detective. Do you
feel better after you murdered her? Did you look in her eyes and let her know
what awful act she’d done to deserve the final humiliation? I’d like to
understand what happened, so can you tell me?
