THREE:
Deception Love Murder
Inviting a
stranger into your home can be dangerous. Inviting a stranger into your life
can turn deadly.
How would you feel if you discovered your death was meticulously planned
by someone you loved? You didn't know how or when or even why. All you could do
was wait.
Emma has it all-a job she loves and a man who professed to love her.
Or did she? How could she be so blind?
When her lover’s car is found burned and abandoned in another state, the
police come asking some hard questions. What she discovers upends her world
completely. Jude had been living a double life right under her nose. A
deceitful life, a treacherous life. Who was this man that had already groomed
another woman to take over Emma's life? A woman who was Emma's body double and
now dead.
Why had she so easily trusted this psychopath with her heart? Betrayed on
every level, consequences not of Emma’s making were nipping at her heels. Tick.
Tock.
THREE is a
gripping crime thriller that will have you hooked. A fast-paced psychological
thriller that has been compared to the works of Dan Brown. It can be read as a
standalone and serves as the first book in the Path of Deception and Betrayal
series.

Excerpt
“We
have established the identity of the woman who was using the box for the last
two years. But before you ask, I am not at liberty to release her name,” he
stated and waited for the fallout.
Aunt
Mary fidgeted. He stared, challenging her to start again. “She has been
identified as a deceased victim of what we believe was a robbery.”
“Dead.
Wait, What? How did you identify her? Who is she? So, she's a real person who
was using my identity?” My voice squeaked. Alexi placed her hand on mine to
signal me to settle down and signaled Agent Thomas to continue.
“Okay,
then can you tell us her name and why she took on Emma’s identity, or
specifically, how she did it?” Alexi asked.
“No.
Any questions about the case are off the table,” he replied.
“Can
you tell me how Emma is involved? If someone has put her in danger, you must
inform us,” Alexi demanded. I saw her looking for the federal code section to
cite.
He
stroked his chin. It was apparent he was deeply conflicted. “I do not have
enough information to answer the question accurately. But, I can tell you she
associates with Jude White.” He again waited for the fallout of his revelation
and this time was not disappointed. Everyone in the room erupted.
Aunt
Mary slammed the table and curses erupted from her I wasn't aware she knew. I
started peppering him with questions, at which point Alexi took control. With
her hand in a hold position, she forced us to all be silent.
“Well,
a bombshell and not what we expected,” she started.
“I
expected that,” Aunt Mary burst out. “There's your answer to why he's in the
wind.”
“In
the wind?” Agent Thomas asked with a confused look.
“Don't
you people talk to each other? She put a missing person out on him last night,”
Aunt Mary stated as she hiked her thumb at me. Apparently, her love for the FBI
had died off.
“Oh,
in the wind. You mean missing. Yes, I am aware Mr. White is missing.” He
smiled, but not a genuine smile. “This is a complex investigation with many
interconnected parts. I need you to understand any interference from anyone,”
he looked straight at Aunt Mary, “could bring an obstruction charge.” Aunt Mary
raised her hands in surrender and appeared to relent.
“Is
Emma in any danger?” Alexi asked circling us back to the more important
question.
“I
don't believe so—” he replied with hesitation.
“Look,
Sam. Apparently something more is going on here. I understand you can only
admit specific details because you cannot jeopardize an investigation, but
let's sum this up. Someone, for an unexplained reason, opened a box in Emma's
name. The woman has a remarkable resemblance to Emma, right?” Alexi waited for
an acknowledgment that never came. “This woman is linked to Jude White.” Agent
Thomas gave Alexi a small nod. “This woman dies after the box she has been
using is compromised. We know the day of the bank breach, Mr. White disappeared
with no further information about him. Now you leave Emma waiting for further
information, with the box in her name which could cause some serious legal
issues. Do you understand my problem here? Can you honestly say Emma is not in
danger?” Alexi waited for an answer that never came. Aunt Mary interjected,
“She connected those dots, bucko.”
As
he leaned forward, he rested his elbows on the table and his fingers pointed
into a steeple. “I am sorry Dr. Collier is going through this stressful time.
But I cannot offer you any further information. When we have something more
concrete, we will let you know.”
