MURDER FOR ALL THE RIGHT REASONS

(A BAD INTENTIONS NOVEL – BOOK 3)

FBI Special Agent Ramona Russell receives an assignment to a case she’s uniquely qualified to investigate.

Five of her former high school classmates have died in accidents over a period of several days, and one has gone missing. Ramona’s graduating class had not been massive. The likelihood of so many people from so small a demographic dying young seems improbable, barring war or a catastrophe.

Although reluctant to return to the dreary community she’d left behind at eighteen, along with her mother, who’d never wanted her, Ramona takes the assignment.

With the help of her high school sweetheart, Travis, Ramona investigates the deaths to determine if they were the accidents they seem to be, or the work of a clever killer.

More of Ramona’s former classmates die, and she herself escapes a close call with death.
Sexual tension and her lingering feelings for Travis complicate her investigation, but Ramona resists her desire, because Travis is married. And although his wife is a woman Ramona can’t stand and their marriage seems loveless, Ramona lives by a set of rules that won’t allow her to act immoral. Good people do good things. Bad people commit bad acts. There’s no room for context or duality in Ramona’s worldview.

Just when it appears she and Travis have enough proof to solve the murders, the investigation takes a surprising turn.

The killer is more elusive, craftier, and has been active longer than Ramona imagined. And possibly, they are not the monster their actions would suggest, nor is the world the black and white arena Ramona had always taken it to be.

To catch the killer, Ramona must enlarge her vision and move beyond the constrictive view of the world she’s lived by her whole life, embracing the grayness of reality and the messiness and contradictions of the human experience.

From REMINGTON KANE, the author of ALIBI: MURDER

PATIENCE

In moments of anger, some may utter ominous phrases like “I’ll make you pay someday,” or “You will regret this.” Such hollow threats come from individuals too intimidated or fearful of confronting their aggressors.

However, there is a patient killer roaming free, one with enough wisdom to strike when their victims least expect it, sometimes decades after the offense.

A state-of-the-art AI system designed to identify patterns of serial killers has revealed a chilling truth: someone has been getting away with calculated murder for a long time. Their victims number in the dozens.

A single thread connected a string of bizarre accidents and apparent suicides—each victim had ties to the same quaint community. Some of the deceased had still lived within its borders, while others had long since fled its close-knit streets.
But the AI’s analysis suggests the deaths were anything but accidental, given the statistical improbability. An individual harboring deep-seated grudges and an insatiable thirst for revenge orchestrated the events.

While the AI uncovered the killer, it will require more than advanced technology to solve the case; it will take the keen instincts and experience of a gifted investigator to track down the elusive killer.

Enter FBI Special Agent Trenna Harper, renowned for her ability to solve cold cases and catch even the most cunning culprits.
The town’s chief of police, Drake Connors, was already suspicious and on edge by the number of deaths linked to his small town. Something sinister was clearly at play, and the murders continued.

Identifying the killer is only half the battle; proving their guilt beyond a reasonable doubt is another daunting task altogether. And with a meticulous perpetrator who has bided their time in exacting revenge, capturing them will not be an easy feat.

As Trenna and Drake race against time to unravel the truth behind these murders, one question remains: who will have the last word in this deadly game of revenge?

TANNER 62 – DEBTS TO BE PAID

The citizens of Stark, Texas, often wondered why their blond, blue-eyed, good-looking mayor, Jimmy Kyle, spent so much time with the spinsterish town councilwoman, Gail Avery.
Gossip often involved speculating if the two were lovers. The consensus was no. While no longer a young man, Jimmy Kyle still attracted women, and Gail Avery was no one’s idea of beautiful.
And yet, the two shared a connection, a bond, one that was forged in the past. And the past has a way of coming back to haunt you.
Someone from Jimmy Kyle and Gail Avery’s shared past was about to act, and he wouldn’t be satisfied until he made them suffer.
Fortunately for the mayor and the councilwoman, they had a protector—Tanner.
***
A man from Henry Knight’s past was Jax Dexter. Years ago, Kagan Andreas, a major figure in the Mexican drug trade, abducted Henry and Jax.
When they’d been forced to kill to defend themselves, it changed Jax. He enjoyed killing. No, Jax loved killing, because it made him, a teen who lacked direction, feel powerful and purposeful.
Henry returned home after killing Kagan, but Jax stayed on in Mexico, where he flourished in the world of the Mexican cartels.
Jax had grown to hate Henry and vowed to avenge Kagan someday. That day had come, and once again the past returned to effect the events of the present. If Jax gets his way, Henry will never have a future.

But is the treasure real, or are they ensnared in a web of deceit? That’s the burning question everyone wants to unravel.
When Kate Warren, daughter of the legendary PI Fearless Frank Warren, steps into the fray, Gallo eyes her with skepticism, dismissing her as a true ally, suspicion clouding his judgement.

Another brutal attempt to capture Gallo and Dante spirals into chaos, leaving Gallo isolated. With his fellow mobsters baying for blood, Gallo resorts to his lethal instincts—killing.
If it’s a war the mob craves, it’s a war they’ll get, and the bodies keep mounting in a gruesome testament to the violence unleashed.
