Some friendships can be murder…

Arianna Jackson—AJ to her friends—has experienced enough drama in the past six months to last her a lifetime. Finding out she’s adopted and a twin to the girl she found brutally murdered and dumped in her alley being among the headliners. And, of course, there’s her sister’s killer, still pursuing her and the secret she holds, despite assurances he’s currently locked away in a secure government facility.

Unfortunately, even the best of intentions prevent her from living a drama-free existence when Charlie Wilson, a frequent client of her Mischievous Malamute photography business and an old high school friend, asks her for help after being arrested for a heinous crime he insists he didn’t commit. Sure, Charlie may be arrogant and self-centered, but in AJ’s book, being a jerk doesn’t necessarily mean he’s guilty—not of this crime, anyway.

AJ quickly realizes her old pal may not be as innocent as she’d originally been led to believe when he produces a sketchy alibi and is less than forthcoming about a series of missing hours the day of the crime. Still, with or without Charlie’s assistance, she’s determined to find the truth, wherever it leads.

Armed with her Alaskan Malamute, Nicoh, and best friend, Leah Campbell, AJ searches for shreds of evidence to prove Charlie’s innocence. But the harder they look, the greater the roadblocks they encounter as it becomes apparent Charlie isn’t the only one with secrets to hide and demons to bury. In fact, much more may be at stake, including the bonds of friendship.

In a world that walks the tightrope of good versus evil while nudging the boundaries of black versus white, there are always shades of grey—where the truth you seek isn’t always the one you find. Sometimes the demons that haunt us are resurrected for something greater than revealing the truth. Sometimes the reasons go beyond vengeance…beyond retribution…beyond revenge.

Mischievous Malamute Mystery Series

Beyond Revenge: (Mischievous Malamute Mystery Series, Book 2)

When a cold-blooded killer has his sights trained on you, it's probably a good time to start weighing your options.

You can run.

You can hide.

Or, if you’re Arianna Jackson, you can deal with the problem head on and give him a dose of his own medicine.

Challenges arise, however, when AJ has to contend with a friend who has gone missing after being accused of a brutal murder, as well as the arrival of an unexpected visitor who claims he’s only got the best of intentions.

Things quickly become as clear as mud when she’s not sure who to trust and risks losing more than her moral compass when it comes to deciphering the truth from the lies—it could mean the lives of those she cares about, if not her own.

Despite obstacles being thrown in her path at every turn, AJ—with the help of her best friend, Leah Campbell and Alaskan Malamute, Nicoh—vows to tackle every challenge as it comes, whatever the outcome.

What else can you do, after all, when your life’s been built on a foundation of lies and the only truth you know just came crumbling down?

When all is said and done, decisions will be made, lines drawn—while others are crossed—and for some it will be the end of the road.

Deadly Current: (Mischievous Malamute Mystery Series, Book 4)

“They say the past always comes back to haunt us. I don’t know who ‘they’ are, but I’d prefer a good haunting over the stuff that blindsides me every time I walk out the door. ” — Arianna Jackson

Just when life doesn’t seem like it couldn’t get any more hectic, AJ receives a call that embroils her in the search for the perpetrator who ambushed a local politician—one which seemingly points to her evasive, jack-in-the-box of a biological father.

Upon confronting him, it becomes apparent that he’s popped back up for more than a fatherly visit—he wants something that only AJ possesses. But can she trust him if it means destroying lives in the process?

When delving into his mysterious past, AJ quickly finds that there are more questions than answers, many of which would be best served remaining buried. Before it’s over, she must rely on her intuition and conscience, because playing her hand could be deadly, as the cards will expose more than the secrets and lies of the players at the table. It will impact the lives of innocent people. Forever.

So while she’s not clear why she was chosen to solve a decades-old crime where others have failed, she’s never been one to back down from a challenge.

Determined to fulfill the duty entrusted to her, AJ quickly faces more obstacles than answers in her pursuit of the evidence needed to identify a cold-blooded killer. Every time she makes a bit of progress, another thread unravels, and a roadblock is tossed in her path.

It doesn’t help matters when her single line of support seems to be among those derailing her efforts, so she is forced to rely on an unlikely ally, not knowing if he is friend or foe.

Fatal Bonds: (Mischievous Malamute Mystery Series, Book 6)

Look around your street. At your neighbors. You may occasionally wave to one another, but do you truly know them?

Perhaps you don’t want to. Because what goes on behind their closed doors is not any of your business.

Until it is.

~~~

Arianna Jackson’s best friend, Leah, is missing.

Her car is abandoned at the airport.

Her key possessions are still present.

Blood is dripping from the trunk.

A lot of it.

Her last known sighting was at a club she would never frequent — one where people are lured to after-parties at vacation rental properties in seemingly quiet, normal neighborhoods.

That is, until girls begin to go missing when the party is over.

And others turn up dead.

In order to track Leah’s path, AJ must elicit assistance from several unlikely sources who are at odds with one another, many of whom are known to have ulterior motives.

Along the way, she must not only rely on these sources, she must decipher the truth from the lies in an underground world where silence is a non-negotiable.

And the cost of admission may just be her life.

While based on fiction, No Place Like Home addresses questions we are currently facing:

Are you aware of what is going on in your own neighborhood?

What are you willing to risk to keep your loved ones safe?

Join AJ in this suspense-filled, edge-of-your-seat thriller as she races to find her best friend and bring her home.

Alive.
