Take Five

THE SECOND MYSTERY NOVEL FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE CRITICALLY-ACCLAIMED HIGHER GROUND CONTENT RATING: ***NO PROFANITY***, SOME VIOLENCE & ADULT SITUATIONS Every death starts with a life... The first 48 hours of a murder investigation are critical... but what about the last 48 hours of the victim's life? TAKE FIVE (Book 2 in the Equinox Mystery Series) turns the classic police procedural on its head by alternating between the first 48 hours of the murder investigation and the last 48 hours of the murder victim's life, told from her point of view. THE VICTIM In Sunnyvale, California, -- the heart of Silicon Valley - Daisy Hale is a 24-year-old coder for MagnaSwift, one of the tech industry's fastest-growing companies. Despite experiencing tragedy as a child and homelessness as a young adult, Daisy has overcome numerous obstacles to find a life of her own.

But MagnaSwift is a misogynistic hotbed of mistreatment and harassment, and Daisy's furious that her impressive skills aren't helping her advance within the company. So she uses her formidable talent to come up with a plan that will not only destroy MagnaSwift... but will also make her $10 million richer.

However, Daisy can't shake the ghosts of the past or the present. She's involved in a toxic relationship with her boyfriend, deep in debt to a violent loan shark, and dealing with a creepy stalker and others who want her dead.

THE DETECTIVE

Meanwhile, Detective Stellan Coleman of the Sunnyvale Homicide Department needs to find out who murdered Daisy, the brilliant young woman cut down in the prime of her life. And like Daisy, Stellan has dealt with his share of tragedy too. Newly widowed and taking care of his young and tech-obsessed daughter, he and his volatile partner, Detective Enrique Montoya, will stop at nothing to find justice for Daisy.

As Daisy and Stellan's timelines alternate back and forth, the line between lies and the truth becomes blurred beyond recognition. Because in this fast-paced mystery full of heart-stopping twists, everybody's a suspect... and nobody's confessing.
