Glimmer of Hope
Blurb:
I m Jinx, a run-of-the-mill private investigator … except I m also a walking, talking lie detector. Oh, and I belong to magical realm known as the Other.
Murder isn t usually my gig, but when I m hired to investigate the death of a dryad called Reggie, I agree to help out because I know his grieving widow. It should be an easy case to crack, a mugging gone wrong, but the murder scene photos show it was anything but. Reggie s death has all the hallmarks of my parents murders so I ll stop at nothing to finding his killers. It s so important I d even be willing to tag in Stone to help – if I could find him…
Reggie was into some bad stuff involving a drug called Boost. Take it, and you play Russian roulette because either you get high or you die. As the drug claims another victim, I find myself with a new sidekick who is determined to fight its evil influence and he just happens to be the king of the dragon community.
Now I have two deaths to solve and one suave dragon king along for the ride.
I need to find Reggie s murderer.
I need to discover who killed my parents.
And I need to keep my distance from the charismatic dragon Emory, who refuses to take no for an answer…
Excerpt:
I was heading back to my car when my phone rang, it was an unknown number. I swiped to answer. Sharp Security Services, I said in my best phone voice.
Jinx? the voice on the line asked.
Speaking.
It s Emory.
I stilled. It wasn t a common name. A picture shot into my mind of a mighty red dragon roaring as he clashed with the shield of Mrs H s magic. The flashback was so strong it took me a beat to respond. Emory? The dragon?
There was a pause. Yes.
You can use a phone with your claws? I asked curiously.
A longer pause, during which I suspected he was regretting calling me. I m in my human form, he said finally.
Sure, I said breezily, like that had occurred to me. Dragons had a human form? So, how can I help?
