From PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In a shift from her Jane Kelly mystery series (Candy Apple Red, etc.), Bush pens an eerie suspense novel woven with a compelling romance and a touch of the supernatural. In rural Oregon, Gemma LaPorte wakes up in a hospital with a fragmented memory. Det. Will Tanninger tells Gemma that she’s a prime suspect in a hit and run that critically injured a child molester. As Gemma’s memories start to return and she finds notes she had made about brain function, she wonders whether the concussion is the only reason for her amnesia. Suspense builds as a subplot involving a serial killer who burns his victims slowly merges with Gemma’s story. As Will and Gemma’s relationship becomes increasingly intimate, the plot takes a darker, more sinister turn, and the terrifying denouement will have readers riveted. (Apr.)
And don't miss this chilling collaboration with sister Lisa Jackson...
WICKED GAME, available February 2009 from Kensington Books
Bestselling suspense author Jackson (Left to Die) pairs with mystery author Bush (Ultra Violet) to pen a chilling tale. Jessie Brentwood was a student at St. Elizabeth's School in Oregon when she vanished 20 years ago. Still haunted by her disappearance, Det. “Mac” McNally reopens the case when bones believed to be Jessie's are discovered at the old school. Mac refocuses his investigation on Jessie's friends, especially Hudson Walker, Jessie's former boyfriend. The suspense escalates as Jessie's friends seem haunted by her presence, especially Becca Sutcliff, a woman hoping to rekindle her former romance with Hudson. Becca's frequent and terrifying visions are amplified as, one by one, Jessie's friends become victims of a vicious stalker. Swift pacing and an intriguing plot make this a first-rate supernatural thriller. (Feb.)
—Publishers Weekly
“With such an enjoyably powerful combination of unexpected plot developments, character assassinations, and some mystifying segues, authors Jackson and Bush make their joint work a successful smash hit along the lines of a softer, less gruesome Stephen King or Dean Koontz-type read.”—www.CurledUp.com
WHERE IN THE WORLD IS JANE KELLY?
Yes, it's true it's been awhile since Jane and The Binkster were last seen delving into the doings around Lake Chinook. Jane's been on hiatus while I've written several thrillers: WICKED GAME with Lisa Jackson, UNSEEN, my first solo thriller, and I'm currently deep into the plot for Thriller #2.
So, when will Jane be back? Hopefully soon! The Binkster has been barking and barking, asking the same question. The next Jane Kelly's working title is PINK CADILLAC. As soon as we learn more, Binks and I will let you know.
Thanks for all your positive response! It's really appreciated.
We're definitely ready for Jane's return, too!
