Below are links to the first two chapters of my unpublished police procedural, Rose’s Hostage:
Libby Ann Marshall never dreamed a man like Joshua Rose would come into her life. He is confident, sexy, and adventurous. He is also the Black Bandit, a bank robber who has the city of Ralston, Illinois in an uproar.
When Joshua kidnaps Libby during a robbery and keeps her, he sets a series of deadly events in motion. The FBI is chasing him, aided by city police detective Stephen Pierce. Pierce must divide his energy with another major case, prostitute killer John Cook, known to him only as The Motel Shooter.
Cook is furious with Joshua for stealing all his press. The killer calls the detectives with a proposal. In exchange for leniency on his own case, he offers to give them the Bandit.
Pierce is tempted to entertain this unholy bargain. He doesn’t know Libby and Joshua are now together, or that an exiled henchman is planning revenge. Survival both physical and emotional becomes the name of the game. If Pierce and the FBI don’t locate Libby and the Bandit before the Shooter does, a bloody showdown is inevitable.
