Appraise Her (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798985430912)

Catia-or Tia-Drakos, is a former police handwriting analyst, a job that took her to dark demented places inside the minds of the worst people in society. Places she couldn't go anymore and keep her own sanity. Now a real estate appraiser, she spends her days inside elegant, expensive properties all across the sunny Los Angeles area.

If only her private life was going so well. Newly divorced, and freshly engaged to a new man, Tia is trying to move on-maybe too quickly. Though she doesn't want to admit it, Tia knows something about her new relationship isn't all it appears. In addition to those doubts, her ex-husband seems unwilling to let her go, encroaching himself in her life.

Shortly after she appraises a friend's family mansion in Bel Air, her friend disappears. Soon after, Tia starts receiving cryptic notes from someone who clearly knows about her former occupation. Are the notes meant to scare Tia or are they clues to find her missing friend? To find the answers, Tia will have to use skills from a life she thought she left behind, discovering secrets hidden not only within a wealthy family, but among close friends-the very people Tia thought she could trust.
