~~Private investigator and recovering alcoholic Bobbie Vale is hired to find a missing bride-to-be whose dark past exposes memories of domestic violence and molestation for Bobbie, memories she has long tried to suppress. But little does Bobbie know that this first case will lead her to her next case where there’s a missing pregnant bank president, a dangerous millionaire with ties to North Korea and a dead ex-husband whose body she is reluctant to claim. Things could not get any worse for Bobbie...could they? With the help of her sexy secretary, part-time body guard – and secret crush - Eddie Dillon, Bobbie must battle the demons of her dark past, dig through deadly lies and shameful secrets, and a closet full of shoeboxes to not only save her future, but to solve these two cases before all hell breaks loose in the small town of Stockton, California.
The Story Behind This Book
I love mystery novels (huge fan of Agatha Christie) and ever since I can remember, I've always written some type of mystery story. So, when I was in the Air Force at my permanent station in Hampton, VA, all I could think about was home (Stockton, CA) and I started writing a short story about a female private investigator named Bobbie Vale. She lived in my hometown and had all sorts of emotional issues. So, I started writing it and sharing my updates with my fellow airmen, even naming the antagonist after my favorite staff sergeant, Sgt. Lopez. He loved it!
