BLURB:
Dylan
Maguire returns to his native Ireland with psychic spy Vicki Boyd.
Their mission: to locate and extract a CIA Agent who disappeared in
Dublin while on the trail of a known terrorist. But when Dylan
receives word that his grandmother is dying, he is plunged into a
past he thought he’d left behind forever. His mission and the dark
secrets he’d sought to keep hidden begin to merge into an
underworld that could cost him his life. He must now confront his
past demons and the real reason he left Ireland—while Vicki harbors
a secret of her own.
Suspense
Magazine says, “p.m.terrell’s writing is powerfully written and
masterfully suspenseful; you have to hang on for the ride of your
life.” Midwest Book Review says the Black Swamp Mysteries series is
“page-turning action, unforgettable characters, breathtaking
descriptions and unexpected plot twists.” And syndicated reviewer
Marcia Freespirit says the series is “riveting, spell-binding, sexy
and intense!”
Read an excerpt:
Brenda motioned for her to stand to the side. Then she parted the curtains.
Dylan had come around the back of the house while three men tumbled out of the pickup. They immediately converged at the truck bed, where they picked up pipes and headed toward the front door.
“So, Eoghan,” Dylan called. His voice was loud and heavy as he moved further from the house, drawing the largest man’s attention to him. “What’re wantin’ with me now?”
“What have they got in their hands?” Vicki whispered hoarsely.
“Lead pipes.” Brenda’s voice was husky and strong.
“You know what we be wantin’,” the largest one shouted. “We’re here to finish your sorry arse off; what we should’a done a long time ago.”
The men began to separate. They looked like a pack of wolves, Vicki thought, as one moved to Dylan’s left while the other moved to his right. The ringleader, Eoghan, stood his ground directly in front of him.
“He doesn’t stand a chance with the three of them,” Vicki gasped. “Not spread out like they are, not even with the gun.”
“Killin’ me won’t bring ‘er back,” Dylan called. He continued backing away from the house.
“No, but it’ll put you in ’ail that much sooner,” one of the others shouted.
“Kill me and you’ll spend your life in a prison cell, Aidan,” Dylan said to him. “I’m not worth your freedom.”
“Why should we spend our lives in prison for killin’ a man?” the third shouted. “You didn’t spend a day in the clink for killin’ our sister!”
Vicki gasped. “My God!”
Brenda grabbed her shoulder, forcing her to look her in the face. She hadn’t realized that her sister had disappeared from the window. But now as she stared at her amber eyes burning hot, she began to take in the pistols in each hand. “Slip on a coat and your shoes,” she hissed. “Fast.”
