New on the Mystery Bookshelf during October 2017 …
Dead Stop by Barbara Nickless, A Sydney Rose Parnell Mystery (2nd in series)
Publisher: Thomas & Mercer
The search for a missing child leads a courageous railway cop down a twisted trail of murder …
It's been five months since Special Agent Sydney Parnell survived a violent confrontation with a gang of brutal thugs, an encounter that left her physically and emotionally scarred. Deep down, Sydney fears she isn't ready for another investigation. But when a woman is murdered on the train tracks and a child goes missing, she knows she's the only one who can lead the hunt for the killer. While Denver police and the FBI chase down blind alleys, Sydney focuses on a single cryptic clue left behind at the crime scene — one that will send her down a path of greed, violence, and long-ago love.
With Denver beset by a series of monsoonlike thunderstorms that threaten to flood the city, Sydney and her K9 partner, Clyde, must wade through a murky trail of murder that stretches back thirty years — all to rescue a child … and catch a killer with a long memory and an insatiable appetite for destruction.
