The Lt. Kate Gazzara Novels Books 16, 17 & 18: Includes Caroline, Charlotte, and Kingsley

Kate Gazzara is back with three more compelling, shocking, and intense cases. Greed, revenge, jealousy, money, love, hate. Are all motives for murder and all in a day’s work for Lt. Kate Gazzara, a dedicated female detective in a world dominated by men.

Caroline, Book 16

When detective Kate Gazzara is called to investigate the brutal murder of a young couple, she has no idea that she’s about to be drawn into a twisted game of cat and mouse with a ruthless killer. As the body count rises and the clues point to a serial killer, Kate and her trusted K-9 partner, Samson, must race against time to catch the killer before they strike again.

But with each new victim, the stakes get higher and Kate finds herself pushed to the limit in her quest to bring the killer to justice. Can she solve the case before it’s too late, or will she become the killer’s next target?

Charlotte, Book 17

In a small but exclusive subdivision of Chattanooga, a devastating house fire leaves a family of five in ruins. The blaze claimed two victims, leaving behind a shattered community and a lot of unanswered questions. As Captain Kate Gazzara and her team of dedicated investigators delve into the case, they uncover shocking secrets about the family and their troubled past.

With each twist and turn, the evidence points more and more towards foul play, and it becomes clear that someone wanted this family dead. But who are the two victims? Who are the three survivors, and where are they now?

Kingsley, Book 18

Kingsley Lynch fell to her death from a seven-story, downtown rooftop garden. Was it an accident, suicide, or was she pushed? The two detectives assigned to the case decided she jumped. Her husband, an influential city councilor disagrees, and six weeks later Kate Gazzara is assigned to reinvestigate.

Two days later, Clarissa Madill falls from a ten-story balcony. Coincidence? Kate doesn’t think so, but if not, what’s the connection?
