Murder to the Metal
(2018)(The second book in the Somebody's Bound to Wind Up Dead Mystery series)
A novel by Annie Hogsett
Ten months ago, Allie Harper - smart, feisty, too broke to get her car fixed - rescued Thomas Bennington, III - a hot, blind, college professor - from a crosswalk in her dicey Cleveland neighborhood. When Allie saved Tom and his groceries from traffic, she unwittingly retrieved his winning $550 million MondoMegaJackpot ticket. The payout steered the two of them into a wild dash from romance to mayhem and multiple murders.
Nothing's changed. Sure, Allie and Tom now reside in a rented 9,000-square-foot lakeside mansion with a skylit shower and breathtaking high-thread-count sheets. True, Otis Johnson, Allie's deliverer from last summer's would-be kidnapper, is now their live-in bodyguard and gourmet chef. Yes, Allie's dream of creating the T&A Detective Agency to solve "mysteries of the heart" by using Tom's money, Otis' PI credentials, and Allie's intrepid...intrepidness...now has its first case.
That's where the real trouble kicks in.
Lloyd Bunker's obsession with avoiding stoplights has run him and his '67 Pontiac GTO off the road, maybe for keeps. As they race to figure out what happened to Lloyd, T&A recruits Allie's former nemesis, Officer Tony Valerio, plus her best friend and ex-landlady, Margo, and television reporter Lisa Cole to help them follow a lethal trail of escalating crimes ranging from scrapping to pushing opioids to multiple murders. It's no longer just about Lloyd.
An assault on the mansion's high-tech security system by a talented hacker signals the presence of a formidable adversary, one with big bucks and a ruthless plan to destroy the lucky couple. As the action ramps up, Allie and Tom are plunged into a high-speed race against danger and death.
Genre: Mystery
