Born and raised in Oklahoma, Betty Sullivan La Pierre attended the Oklahoma College for Women and the University of Oklahoma, graduating with her BS degree in e owned a Mail Order Used Book business dealing mainly in signed and rare books, but phased it out because it took up too much of her writing time.

She writes Mystery/Suspense/Thriller novels, which are published in digital format and print. Her Hawkman Mystery Series is developing quite a fan base. She’s also written two stand-alone mystery/thrillers and plans to continue writing. ‘BLACKOUT,’ Betty’s story about a bingo hall (of the Hawkman Series), ranked in the top ten of the P&E Reader’s Poll, and won the 2003 BLOODY DAGGER AWARD for best Mystery/Suspense.

Under normal circunstances that would not be a problem but Jamey now lives in Rio De Janeiro and does not really want to come to the United States. She does return, however, only to complicate the property transfer necessitating appearance again. It would appear Jamey had been involved in a diamond heist some time before. Hawkman, a private investigator, had done some investigative work on that case as well. Her potential return has attracted the attention of not only Hawkman but someone else. Someone who feels they have a deadly score to settle with Jamey. Therein starts the delightful tale of intrigue and adventures where no one is who they appear to be. What happens next? You will need to read the story where you will definately be delighted at the twists and turns experienced with these characters.
