The Desert Keeps Its Dead - a tough detective hunts a serial killer - 99c

[Tony Richards]

The Desert Keeps Its Dead

“Mr. Barrett,” she said, coldly, very clearly. “Over and above what I’m already paying you, I will pay you an additional fifty thousand dollars if you bring my daughter’s murderer to justice. Or the equivalent of regular justice, if you know what I mean.”

Tammy McClane was a runaway that he’d been hired to find. But when he finally tracked her down, it was to a shallow grave in the Sonora desert outside Sunset City, Arizona.

Now he’s searching for her killer, but Sunset City keeps on posing Matt Barrett an awful lot of questions. Why does he feel like he’s constantly being watched? Why are some of the local cops acting so aggressive? What is it with that huge, palatial mansion outside the town line? And most importantly of all … how many other girls have met their ends this way?

Matt Barrett doesn’t know it yet, but he is on a journey that will lead him to the deepest recesses of this town’s past, its darkest secrets. It’s an unstoppable voyage into the hidden regions of the human soul, with an explosive finale.

Tony-

Congratulations on your new book!  

KindleBoards is a Kindle fan and reader forum.  As you browse KindleBoards, keep in mind that self-promotion, of any sort, is ONLY allowed in the Book Bazaar. (You've posted your book thread in the right place; this is just our standard welcome that we place in all book threads. )

A brief recap of our rules follows:

--Please bookmark this thread (using your browser's bookmark/favorite function) so you can update it as we ask that authors have only one thread per book and add to it when there is more information.  You may start a separate thread for each book (or you may have one thread per series of books, or one thread for all of your books, it's your choice).

--We invite you to use your book cover as your avatar and have links to your book and website in your signature. Instructions are posted here

--While you may respond to member posts to your thread at any time, you may only bump your thread (back-to-back posts by you) once every seven days.  Once you've responded to a member, that resets the clock to zero and you must wait seven days to post, unless another member posts before then. You may modify the latest post to reflect new information.

--We ask that Amazon reviews not be repeated here as they are easy to find at your book link.  Also, full reviews from other sites should not be posted here, but you may post a short blurb and a link to the full review instead.

--Although self-promotion is limited to the Book Bazaar, our most successful authors have found the best way to promote their books is to be as active throughout KindleBoards as time allows.  This is your target audience--book lovers with Kindles!  Please note that putting link information in the body of your posts constitutes self promotion; please leave your links for your profile signature that will automatically appear on each post.  For information on more ways to promote here on KindleBoards, be sure to check out this thread:
Authors: KindleBoards Tips & FAQ.

All this, and more, is included in our Forum Decorum: http://www.kindleboards.com/index.php/topic,36.0.html.  Be sure to check it from time to time for the current guidelines and rules.
