Patricia Rushford kicks off a thrilling new crime series set in
the cozy coastal hamlet of Sunset Cove, Oregon. Featuring
determined police officer Angel Delaney, the first episode is sure
to have armchair sleuths turning the pages as fast as they can to
discover whodunit?
When a police shootout results in the death of a 12-year-old boy,
Officer Angel Delaney is blamed, convicted, and condemned by the
media and the Sunset Cove community before the case even goes to
trial.
Angel will have her day in court, but before she has the chance to
defend herself, the situation spirals out of control. Key evidence
is missing, evidence that could have verified her claim of firing
only one shot in self-defense. In short order, the body count
rises, and suddenly Angel is a suspect in more than one murder
investigation. Heartsick about the young boy's death, and
questioning her judgment as a police officer, Angel joins forces
with Detective Callen Riley to fight the mounting charges against
her.
Angel Delaney puts up a tough front-as a female police officer
she must. She works for peace in her coastal Oregon town, but
loathes the means she must sometimes use to get it. So when her
line of duty requires her to use deadly force against a
twelve-year-old boy, Angel's world begins to crumble.
The community wants answers, and Angel is dismayed to find that the
media portrays her as a racist, a rogue cop, and a menace. While
she works to clear her name and her conscience, the investigation
into her use of deadly force creates more questions than
answers.
The detective working on Angel's case, has his hands full when
crucial evidence disappears and other people are found murdered. Do
these killings relate to the boy's death? Is Angel next?
"Angel Delaney is a character with real staying power. The story
will keep you flipping pages as you get caught up, not only in the
police procedural, but also Angel's personal life. Can't wait for
the next installment!"-James Scott Bell, author of A Higher
Justice
