Come Tuesday, June 5, Justice Betrayed, the third book in the Memphis Cold Case Novels will release! To celebrate, I'm giving away two print copies! So be sure to leave a comment at the end of the blog.
Justice Betrayed is my "Elvis" book 'cause you know any series set in Memphis has to have at least one book that pays homage to the king! And I thought today I would interview Shirley from Justice Betrayed.
You meet her in the first pages of the story and learn about her troubled upbringing. So here we go...
Patricia: Welcome to Suspense Sisters, Shirley.
Shirley, sniffing: Why are you interviewing me? Most blogs want to talk to the sappy hero or heroine.
Patricia: I thought my readers might want to know a little bit about you. You play quite an important role in the book. What made you become a killer?
Shirley: It wasn't my fault. If these people hadn't crossed me, there would never have been a problem.
Patricia: Rachel Sloan never crossed you.
Shirley: No, she just went around sticking her nose in places she shouldn't have. I warned her, but she didn't listen.
Patricia: What do you think of Boone Callahan?"
Shirley, smiling: He's a handsome one. Don't understand why Rachel would rather be a homicide detective than to be his sweetheart! She needs her head examined. Rachel and Boone think they're going to catch me, but they won't. I'm smarter than either of them. No one has ever caught me.
Patricia - I think it's time to close the door on this interview: Well, thank you for your insights, Shirley.
Shirley: You tell those readers of yours, Rachel Sloan is a marked woman, and Boone Callahan won't be able to save her.
Leave a comment to be entered in a drawing for Justice Betrayed. Print for Continental US addresses; digital for all others.
It's Elvis Week in Memphis, and homicide Detective Rachel Sloan isn't sure her day could get any stranger when aging Elvis impersonator Vic Vegas asks to see her. But when he produces a photo of her murdered mother with four Elvis impersonators--one of whom had also been murdered soon after the photo was taken--she's forced to reevaluate. Is there some connection between the two unsolved cases? And could the recent break-in at Vic's home be tied to his obsession with finding his friend's killer?
When yet another person in the photo is murdered, Rachel suddenly has her hands full investigating three cases. Lieutenant Boone Callahan offers his help, but their checkered romantic past threatens to get in the way. Can they solve the cases before the murderer makes Rachel victim number four?

Thanks, Anne! Justice Betrayed was a lot of fun to write.

DeleteI've read Justice Delayed, so now I need to read Justice Buried and Justice Betrayed. I love the series! I let my friend read Justice Delayed and she stayed up until 4 a.m to finish it!

I'm so glad you enjoyed meeting Shirley. :-) Thanks for dropping by.
DeleteGreat interview. How do you get into the head of a killer? Would love to win this one to complete my set! Thanks for the chance, Pat! paulams49ATsbcglobalDOTnet
ReplyDeleteHi Paula. It is very hard to get into a killer's head. I'm doing that right now with the first Natchez book that I'm calling No One To Trust.
DeleteI've read the first 2 Justice books and am looking forward to this one as well.

Thanks, Linda! And thanks for stopping by.
DeleteAs a character in an old sitcom years ago used to say as he held his head with both hands: "I'm so confused". Justice Betrayed is pictured several times but the post starts out about Justice Delayed being released on June 5. Justice Delayed is mentioned again in the next paragraph. I can't figure out if Justice is betrayed, delayed, or played. I don't guess I need to be entered if this is the book I won a while back. If it's a new one, then I definitely want to participate.
ReplyDeleteSorry about that...I am forever getting the names mixed up--they are so similar, Edward. I need to forward my posts to you for editing! Thanks for stopping by and pointing out my mistake...now off to fix it.
DeleteInteresting interview.Sounds like a great story. Thanks for this opportunity.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Nancy. And thanks for stopping by.
