On this anything but typical Monday morning Jenna Scali, who works part-time for a shrink, opens an email that depicts the brutal death of a young girl. On that same day the police uncover a dead coed two blocks from Jenna’s house. The e-murderer’s description creepily echos the death described in the newspapers.
When Jenna receives other emails, she takes what she knows to the police and thus begins her journey in the path of the e-murderer. Her curious nature impels her from e-messages to dead coeds to a ring of prostitutes. With the help of her quirky friends, Jenna learns that she’s more than a conduit for the killer. She’s his target. New secrets unfold, and finally her love life takes a tumble when the true killer emerges.
THE E-MURDERER is a race to find a psychotic killer before he kills again.
This new mystery series with a young female sleuth promises to keep you glued to your seat until the last page.

Excerpt: I parked in front of the old woman’s house, reached into my glove
compartment for a notepad, and mounted the steps.
“If you’re selling something, I got no money,” the woman’s gruff voice called out.
“I’m not selling anything, ma’am. I only want to talk to you for a few
minutes.”
“Are you from the newspaper?”
When I reached the front porch, I could see the woman’s crinkly face, soft like an overripe apple. Thick glasses pinched the end of her nose. Her stockings were rolled down to her ankles, and she wore a thin short-sleeved dress.
“My name’s Jenna,” I said, deciding not to share my last name. “Did you know the girl who lived next door?”
“Knowed ’er all ’er life,” the woman said. “This was ’er granddaddy’s house. He passed on come three years now, I expect.”
The woman’s light brown eyes looked huge behind those thick lenses. Sweat
trickled down her face. “Marty moved in several years ago. She was studying at the university. She’d bring me cookies now and again, poor dear.”
My heart froze and my throat tightened at the mention of the dead girl’s name.
