Cavanaugh Stakeout

“Because that was exactly the way I imagined it would be,” he confessed.

And then the reality of what he had just done hit him. Finn sobered, realizing that she might misunderstand what had just happened. “Sorry. That wasn’t the reason I wanted to see you to your door. But I would be lying if I said that it wasn’t to have a few more minutes with you.”

Reviewing their relatively short association, she looked at him skeptically. “I thought you couldn’t wait to get rid of me.”

“In the beginning,” he conceded. “But I have to admit that you have a way of getting to a guy. And I have to say that you are pulling your own weight.”

“You sure know how to turn a girl’s head with sweet talk.”

Dear Reader (#u544f9a08-5b66-5a19-b05d-90cf9f5b7cc2),

Welcome back to the ever-growing Cavanaugh clan. When Seamus, the eternally young patriarch of the family, is mugged and left for dead one night in the parking lot of one of the buildings his security company oversees, his spirit is crushed and all but drained from him. The rest of the family rallies around him. They all want to find the person responsible for hurting Seamus, but that proves to be far more complicated than it might seem.

Detective Finley Cavanaugh from the robbery division heads up the investigation because Seamus’s car was stolen. But it quickly becomes a homicide investigation when bodies of women start piling up, beginning with the one whose blood was found in the trunk of Seamus’s stolen vehicle. To complicate matters, as a favor for a friend searching for her missing daughter, insurance investigator Nikola Kowalski begins looking into Seamus’s case. It seems that the missing daughter’s fingerprint has turned up on the back of Seamus’s rearview mirror. Try as he might, Finn can’t get the annoyingly inquisitive Nik to back off. And soon, almost against his will, he realizes that he doesn’t want to. Meanwhile, more and more young women are having their lives snuffed out while Finn and Nik find themselves going around in circles, following clues that lead nowhere.

As always, I thank you for taking the time to pick up and read one of my books. I sincerely hope it entertains you, and from the bottom of my heart, I wish you someone to love who loves you back.

All my best,

Marie Ferrarella
