Paranormal private eye. Grim reaper extraordinaire. Whatever! Charley Davidson is back for more thrills and adventures in THIRD GRAVE DEAD AHEAD (St. Martin’s Press; January 31, 2012; Hardcover; $23.99; 1-250-00154-4)!
Charley’s been drinking copious amounts of caffeine to stay awake because every time she closes her eyes, she sees him: Reyes Farrow—the part-human, part-supermodel, but nonetheless extremely peeved off son of Satan. Sure, she did imprison him for all eternity, but come on! How is she supposed to solve a missing persons case, deal with an ego-driven doctor, calm her curmudgeonly dad, and take on a motorcycle gang hell bent on murder when the devil’s son just won’t give up?!
Charley’s self-induced insomnia has kept her up for thirteen days straight, so when she accepts a missing persons case, she discovers that her focus is, well, fuzzy at best. But a woman’s life hangs in the balance, and Charley fights her ADD tendencies to find her. In the meantime, Reyes is back in prison and none too happy about it…so Charley thinks, until she is carjacked by the dark-haired rake, who swears the very man he went to prison for killing is not only alive, but close by. And he wants Charley to find him.
Together with the help of her fashion-impaired receptionist, Charley sets out to bring the bad guys to justice and to single-handedly make bloodshot, sleep-deprived eyes the newest fashion trend, all while searching for the deadliest, most violent man she’s ever met. Unfortunately, he finds Charley first.
