BLURB:
INSATIABLE
is the third novel in my Sydney Rye Series of dark murder mysteries.
This series feature a strong female protagonist and her canine best
friend. It is recommended for the 18+ who enjoy some violence, don't
mind dirty language, and are up for a dash of sex. Not to mention an
awesome, rollicking good mystery!
INSATIABLE
begins with private detective Sydney Rye living a simple, disciplined
life in London, but when a dangerous man from her past calls, Rye
finds she cannot turn him away. Robert Maxim explains that the
daughter of a powerful friend has gone missing and he wants Rye to
find her. In exchange he offers her something she had given up hope
of ever having; freedom from her past.
With her
dog, Blue, at her side, Rye meets up with her new partner, a handsome
man she's not sure she can trust. Heading for Mexico City, they go
undercover, posing as husband and wife. After meeting with the
bereaved parents, Rye starts to sense that there is more going on
than just a missing girl. But it isn't until they arrive in the
Yucatan Peninsula, hot on the girl's trail in Paradise, that all hell
breaks loose. Sydney has to reach out for help from old friends and
deal with the consequences of her past, if she's going to find the
girl and keep them all alive.

Read an excerpt:
Around the next bend a chicken was in the road. Jimmy saw it and swerved into a rut to avoid it. It was a wild, out-of-control move and I grabbed at the door trying to steady myself. The Jeep jerked down and then up again as Jimmy powered us out of the ditch and back onto the road. "What the fuck!" I yelled.
"There was a chicken."
"Next time fucking hit the chicken!"
That's exactly what the guy in the black Jeep did. I turned around to see the feathers exploding with a mix of blood and guts against the guy's grill. He drove through the chicken into the shade of a tree and I saw him. I saw Blane. He was wearing wrap-around sunglasses - the kind douche bags think look cool. His mouth was a straight line, his face made of stone.
I rested my new gun on the shoulder of my seat and tried to steady my aim as we raced back past the Home Depot. Jimmy swerved around other cars, at times facing oncoming traffic, to further our escape. It was impossible to get a clear shot. I turned back around as we crested a hill and we could see the town below us.
Traffic became congested as we got closer to town. I turned around and saw that Blane was stuck several cars behind us. There was no way he could fire off any rounds with all these people around. We stopped at a red light and I waved to Blane. He raised a gun and I dropped down in my seat as I heard a window shatter. It wasn't our car but the one right behind us.
