Dark Deceptions: A Quay Thompson Novel (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781688055728)

In the third in the series of Quay Thompson detective crime thrillers, Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension detectives Quay Thompson and Samantha Atwood join again as newly married partners in Dark Deceptions. With a stunning story, Samantha's sister, Sara Atwood, arrives as a surprise guest for her sister's wedding on Minnesota's North Shore of Lake Superior, and the tone of the day suddenly transforms from one of joy and excitement to that of shock and fear. As a result of Sara's revelations, the newlywed BCA couple takes on a new case tracking down a suspicious threat involving a planned copper mine in Northern Minnesota and a mining conglomerate controlling copper mines throughout the Midwest. Searching for answers, the couple's working honeymoon takes them from the Boundary Waters Canoe Area in Minnesota, south to Missouri, and finally into the Ozarks of Arkansas. Quay and Sam uncover a highway of corruption, deceit, and terrorist threats. Filled with secrets, international intrigue, and hidden danger, the complex case reveals ties between the copper mining industry, a drug cartel, and a developing much darker threat from China. Time is of the essence in their race to stop a planned attack in mid-America. Their stress relief along the way comes in the form of the antics of their golden retriever Chip, and a new addition to the team, Spunky, a one-eyed kitten. The Ozarks provide a perfect backdrop for Quay and Samantha Thompson when they conclude the case and finally begin their honeymoon. Kidnappings, chases, unexpected twists, international intrigue, along with a little added romance, make this a suspenseful crime thriller you won't want to put down.
