Deadly Sins: A Dezeray Jackson Mini-Series (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780991475636)

You'll love all nine stories in this new, private detective series, by native Nebraskan, Kori D. Miller. She's created a strong, sassy PI who doesn't hold back.Private investigator Dezeray Jackson hates Florida; she hated it 24 hours after she arrived 5 years ago. Not for any particular reason, really, just a whole lot of little ones - bugs, alligators, snakes, and rude, obnoxious people. Dez thinks a break is in order, then she gets the Millicent James case. All she has to do is follow Millicent's gamer grandson for a month, which could be as exciting as waiting for water to boil, Dez thinks. But a boring, routine assignment suddenly takes some interesting twists when a much-anticipated pre-release game disappears. It's a hot commodity that could make somebody millions of dollars. But who? After two years in the Big Apple, Dez is fed up with cheating spouses and embezzling employees. Convinced that she needs a change, Dez tells her boss that she's ready to move on. He gives her a farewell gift - one last case, involving a missing artifact. Dez and her partner hit the streets, and soon learn that the missing artifact is something more. To recover it, Dez will enter a world that few know about. Dez thought she'd seen it all ... she hadn't.When Dez left New York, she didn't think she'd end up back in Omaha, NE, her home town. But here she is three months later. After stints in Florida and the Big Apple, Omaha was an unexpected, but welcome change. But the grass isn't always greener on the other side. One evening, after hearing Dez speak to her female self-defense class, a student is killed in a hit-and-run. Dez gets the case, which leads to an unpleasant stroll down memory lane, with a character she'd rather forget, and involvement with some deadly corporate shenanigans.Eccentric Mayville Toussaint hires Dez to find two men who stole a box from her. Toussaint's instructions are simple - find the thieves, recover the box, and return it unopened. A dangerous game of cat and mouse, double-dealing and lying place Dez in harm's way. Dez recovers the box - case closed. But when returning the treasured item, Dez learns that Toussaint has been playing her own game of cat and mouse ... with Dez. Toussaint clearly is not who she seems. But who is she?
