Author: Andy Straka
Price: FREE
GET DEAL at Amazon
Thirteen years ago, Frank Pavlicek left the NYPD under less than ideal circumstances. Now, the divorced father of a teenage daughter, he works as a private investigator in Charlottesville, Virginia, where he indulges his passion for falconry – and tries to live outside the shadow of his past. Frank is hunting with his red-tailed hawk, Armistead, when he finds it. A teenage boy’s body – barely concealed behind a pile of brush in a part of the forest Frank recently visited with his daughter, Nicole. It’s a truly gruesome crime scene – one of the many things Frank doesn’t miss about working homicide in the big city.
But what Frank finds in the dead boy’s wallet is even more disturbing: Nicole’s phone number, scribbled in ink on the edge of a bill. He pockets the evidence and flees. Days later, his daughter is in jail. His past is coming back to haunt him. And his reputation – and life – are on the line…

Author Description:
I am the author of nine novels, including the Shamus Award-Winning, Anthony and Agatha Award-nominated Frank Pavlicek private eye series, the latest of which, THE K STREET HUNTING SOCIETY, has just been released. My other books include RECORD OF WRONGS, hailed by Mystery Scene magazine as "a first-rate thriller," THE BLUE HALLELUJAH, and DRAGONFLIES: SHADOW OF DRONES, the first in a near future science fiction series recently option for film and television.
Co-founder of the popular Crime Wave at the annual Virginia Festival of the Book, I am a graduate of Williams College and a licensed falconer who has flown Red-tailed hawks and Harris Hawks. In addition to writing, I have worked as a book editor, movie production accommodation agent, commercial building owner, consulting vice president for a large medical practice, surgical implant and pharmaceutical representative, college textbook sales and manuscript acquisition representative, web offset press paper jogger, laborer on a city road crew, summer recreation youth director, youth basketball coach, parts manager at an auto dealership, and even assistant manager at a McDonalds restaurant.
I still consider my greatest accomplishment, however, to be a longstanding stint as a stay-at-home father to six--which makes novel writing and neurosurgery look like tiddlywinks.

Author Description:
2012 was an amazing year in the publishing world for me, and it started with The Forgotten Child, which landed on the Amazon bestseller list for western romance and romance series. 2013 has seen me posted in the top 100 authors on Amazon for romantic suspense, mystery/thrillers, and police procedural.
Where did it all begin? In 2008, I published my first novel, The Captain’s Lady, a contemporary military romance, through The Wild Rose Press. I've since received the rights back from my publisher and I rewrote the book and republished it with a brand new title, SAVED.
I write edgy romantic suspense (Walk the Right Road Series), western romance (Finding Love ~ The Outsider Series), and young adult mystery, and I warn my readers to expect the unexpected. I’m a mother of three children and we live on a small Island in the Pacific Northwest. I encourage you to contact me by email; I do answer every email I receive.
Stay tuned. There is more to come from the Walk the Right Road Series and Finding Love ~ The Outsider Series, as well as a brand new western romance series coming later this fall, THE ONE.
And to my readers and all of you who have shared my stories with your family and friends, a big heartfelt thank you.

Author Description:
A romantic-suspense writer, Carmen’s stories overflow with romance, mystery, suspense, paranormal sometimes, and of course, tragedy. After all, what would a great story be without a tragic event setting the stage? All of her novels are sensual, but not erotic, gripping but not graphic and will make you cry, laugh, love, and hope.
