Kill
Shot

BLURB:
Former
combat medic Kory Wagner survived four war zones. Now she’s home
and out of the Army for good and someone is trying to kill her in her
own backyard. Just as disturbing is the handsome sheriff who’s on
the case. Sheriff Sean Harding doesn’t quite know what to think of
the decorated veteran that managed to outsmart an entire search
party. What bothers him more is the body of a PI, whom she hired, was
found dead in a building she owns. And Kory isn’t being very
cooperative with helping him find the answers as to why someone would
kill her sister and want her dead. Will he be able to keep her alive
along enough to discover the truth?

Read an excerpt:
Sean followed the trail of blood to the back of the warehouse. She had definitely been hit -- question was how bad? Was she the one who called in the shooting? If so he didn't blame her for not sticking around, not when someone was trying to kill her. He was surprised she called the police at all.
He stepped out into the late afternoon sunlight. The last traces of blood were found halfway between the building and the edge of the woods. There wasn't any skid marks in the side parking lot indicating a hasty retreat, and there were no casings. Did the shooter have an accomplice waiting at the back door just in case, or did she manage to escape into the woods?
Deputy McKee joined Sean at the edge of the woods. "Find anything?"
"No. The blood trail ends over there. Judging from the distance between droplets she was running at a pretty good pace."
"There's only one car in the parking lot. Do you think they came together, or did she park back here?"
"They either came together or she came in soon after he did thru the front door. The trajectory of the bullets suggests she was near the front of the building when she was hit and exited through the back door."
"So she either managed to make it back to her car near the front of the building or she's on foot," the deputy said.
Sean looked toward the tree line. "If I were her and I had someone shooting at me I'd head for the woods. More places to hide than on a highway. Assemble a search team and have them start looking just in case. And notify the local hospital to be on the lookout for her. If she comes in I want her held for questioning."
