The Public Eye Series, Book 1
By Lori L. Lake
Will a dangerous, nameless faceless criminal get the best of investigator Leo Reese?
Leona “Leo” Reese is a 33-year-old police patrol sergeant with over ten years of law enforcement experience. After she fails her bi-yearly shooting qualification due to a vision problem, Leo is temporarily assigned to the investigations division of the state’s Department of Human Services. She’s shell-shocked by her vision impairment and frustrated to be sent work in another department, even temporarily.
On Leo’s first day on the new job, she’s assigned a case where a woman at an independent living facility for elders has been murdered by an apparent burglar. But all is not as it seems, and it will take all her smarts to outwit a dangerous criminal. Will she uncover the murderer before other people are robbed and killed?
“The new mystery series – featuring two of the most fascinating and surprising protagonists yet – is a humdinger. Lake’s deft portrayal of her new sleuth rocks. I can’t wait for Book 2!”
~Jessie Chandler, author of The Shay O’Hanlon Caper Series
