COVER REVEAL
MURDER & OBSESSION
Flames burn between a hardboiled cop and a gifted artist, but soon extinguish as another man’s obsession ignites into an inferno of desire, driving him to destroy the object of his madness.
To be Released March 2016
As wedding bells echo like the ring of toasting champagne
glasses in the ice carved mountains of Anchorage Alaska, detective Steven Quaid
rehabs his grandfather’s cabin into a honeymoon cottage for his new bride.
When he returns from a hunting trip, Steven’s faced with
five police officers, who “Want to talk.” Plagued by two unsolved murders, the
Department is searching for answers.
The conversation comes to a deafening halt as the team
finds a bloody crime scene in the bridal suite. "Where's her body?"
is a question Steven cannot fathom.
Steven’s jaw clenches and his heart races. Images of
Sarah streak through his mind.
The silence breaks as an explosion of accusations vibrate
through every fiber of his being.
Steven bolts…
Although running is never the smart thing to do, Steven’s
not thinking clearly and his escape into the wilderness of the Brooks Range
proves almost fatal.
This Steven Quaid mystery is both personal and
heartbreaking.

Yolanda Renee
At one time Alaska called to me and I answered. I learned
to sleep under the midnight sun, survive in below zero temperatures, and hike
the Mountain Ranges. I've traveled from Prudhoe Bay to Valdez, and the memories
are some of my most valued. The wonders, mysteries, and incredible beauty that
is Alaska has never left me and thus now influence my writing.
Despite my adventurous spirit, I achieved my educational
goals, married, and I have two wonderful sons. Writing is now my focus, my
newest adventure!
After a gritty detective becomes involved with a
beautiful widow suspected of murder, rumor and obsession obstruct his quest for
justice.
World damnation is a psychotic man’s goal, but two
obstacles stand in his way, greed and a dedicated detective.
