Sometimes the past should stay there…


“OMG! Violated by Carolyn Arnold has been the most thrilling and exciting story that I have read in the longest while. I can’t believe that I have never heard of this author before now…. This is the fifth book in the [Brandon Fisher FBI series] and there is no need to read the previous books prior to reading this one. However, I can assure you that after reading Violated, you will be clamoring to get your hands on the other books in the series.”
–Totally Addicted to Reading

Do you have regrets over some decisions you’ve made and wish that you could go back and change things? Or do you have a hard time letting go of the past? FBI agent Paige Dawson has been dealing with a hurt inflicted over twenty years ago, but the wound hadn’t even scabbed over when a turn of events has it reopen.

Just like a lot of college students, she had a wild spring break vacation in Cancun, but it got too far out of control. Her close friend was drugged and raped by three guys. The violation destroyed a young girl’s life and a suicide attempt left her in a vegetative state for most of her adult life up until recently when the girl’s mother made the call to pull the plug. The funeral is enough to drown Paige in guilt and the past overwhelms her.

If only she had seen the rape coming so she could have stopped it. If only she could have done more and had the boys held accountable years ago.

But as a college student there was only so much Paige could do, and even as time passed by as an FBI agent, any leads on their identification met with a dead end. So when Paige finally gets a solid lead to follow, she throws caution to the wind and sets out to California on “vacation,” her new boyfriend in tow. But she gets far more than she’d planned on… The man she intended to confront turns up brutally murdered. And, Paige, well, the local police peg her as the killer.

Violated shows the importance of living in the now without obsessing over the past and what can happen when we give the past power over us. This book also touches on a modern-day topic (one I can’t reveal without spoiling the book), and conveys the deeper message that we all have the right to be true to ourselves regardless of society’s approval or disapproval.

Can Paige figure out these life lessons, though, before her career is destroyed along with her future? I invite you to board a jet to California and find out. Go ahead, no passport required.

Book Overview:Sometimes the past should stay there…The murder is one of the most heinous FBI agent and profiler Brandon Fisher has ever seen. But that’s not why he and two members of the team are rushing to California. The Bureau is interested because the prime suspect is one of their own, Paige Dawson.

But Paige didn’t go to Valencia to kill anyone. She had set out on “vacation”—her new lover in tow—only to confront the man who raped her friend twenty-some years ago. While the hands of the law are tied, she wants him to face the fact that he destroyed a young woman’s life and know that, as an FBI agent, she’ll be watching his every move. Yet, instead of accomplishing her goal, she wound up in the back of a police cruiser.

Now Paige must face off with a hard-nosed detective determined to stick a murder charge to a fed. But with the trained eyes of the FBI on the case, it’s becoming more and more obvious that the evidence lends itself to a serial killing, not an isolated incident. And as long as the local authorities are focused on Paige, the real murderer is still out there, possibly waiting to strike again…

Book Description:
A contemporary mystery/thriller—a
paranormal mystery, to be more precise. For mystery fans, it twists
and turns like a dragon kite in a high wind. Mystery connoisseurs,
beware. The Lance Underphal Mystery series will keep you guessing .
. .
Lance Underphal was devastated by his
wife’s death, and now, the down-and-out crime-scene photographer
can’t let her go. He wakes up plagued by premonitions. The double
shooting of an Arizona real estate developer and his
mistress/bookkeeper immerse Underphal in a world of incomprehensible
phenomena.

Frank Salmon, the homicide detective on
the case, does his best to blow off Underphal’s “visions.” But
the murders keep piling up and the visions are all too real.

Salmon pursues Underphal’s clues from
a popular strip club to a failing community bank, adding a
blackmailing stripper to the body count.

Underphal struggles mightily with his
psychic curse, teetering on the brink of insanity. His only hope for
redemption is the voice in his head, the voice of his dead wife.
Stumbling through dark vortexes of murderous intrigue, he comes to
realize his visions will either kill him or lead to the capture of a
killer—maybe more than one.










Excerpt 

Whiting runs a trembling hand through thinning hair, his scalp hot and moist.  They’ve got to do something about these numbers.  Short stubble on raw cheeks twitches as he anxiously works his jaws.  They could lose the whole damn project.  Thirty million!  He can’t believe it, he’s bet everything on this project.  And with the hard-money loan, they’ve got a bigger nut than ever.  Shit!  Those hard-money bastards, they’re Rodriguez’s contacts.  Of course they had to have the money to finish—all the construction cost overruns.  Fucking Rodriguez.  His fingers manically drum on the hardwood desktop, their nails ragged, bitten to the quick.  They’re in way too deep to quit now.
            Chewing his bottom lip, Whiting redials Rodriguez’s cell.
            Rodriguez sounds out of breath, frustrated.  “Damn Gary, whaddaya want?” 
            “Mike, we need to go over some numbers.  Ya got a minute?”
            Rodriguez gives a short chuckle then lowers his voice, “I’m kinda in the middle of somethin’.”
            “Yeah, but . . .”  Gary hears a thump, then a woman’s muffled words.  “Hey, are you at the office?  Who’s with you?”
            “Yeah, like I said, we’re kinda in the middle of somethin’ here.”  
            Whiting hears giggling in the background. 
            To Diane, Rodriguez says, “Stop that.”  To Gary, he says, “Diane’s never done it on the desk before.” 
            Whiting can almost hear Rodriguez’s leering grin. 
            In the background Diane laughs then says, “Do I get overtime for this?”
            Now they’re both laughing.
            “Damn . . . Mike, you guys . . . in the office?”
            “Hey, don’t sweat it.  It’s almost seven, no one’s around, yard gates are locked, lights are off.  No one’s gonna know.”
            Whiting hears Diane coo and then more giggling.
            Rodriguez speaks closer into the phone, “That is, as long as you keep your mouth shut.”
            “Hey, no problem.  I don’t care what you do with Diane.  She’s your bookkeeper.”
            Diane lets out a short yelp and says “What was that?”
            “Shit!”  Rodriguez whispers, “Shit.”
            “Mike, what’s going on?”
            “Hold on, I think someone’s here.”
            Whiting hears grunting, rustling, probably scrambling for clothes, the metallic snap of window blinds.
            Under his breath, Rodriguez says “Who’s that?”  He whispers to Diane, “Get your panties on.”
            Whiting hears Diane whine, “I’m trying.”
            He hears Rodriguez whispering to himself, “Who is that?  Is that . . ?   I’ll get that bastard.”
            Rodriguez says, “Gary, hold on, I gotta take a picture with this thing, hold on.”
            “Okay.”  Whiting hears the blinds clacking. 
            He hears Rodriguez talking to himself, “Damn, it’s dark . . . but I think I got ‘em.”
            “Mike . . .  Mike?”
            “Yeah, I’m back, hold on.  Gotta check this out.”
            Whiting clutches the phone in a sweaty hand, pressed hard against his ear.  He hears a loud bang.  A door slamming the wall?  Too weird.  He needs a Valium. 
            Diane screams.  Rodriguez yells, “You, you asshole!  What the fuck do you want!?!” 
            Whiting hears POP, POP!  Screeching, a low grunt, loud thumps . . .  POP, POP, POP! “Uh, uh, uh . . .”  Guttural gasps.  A long wail.  High-pitched keening, its otherworldly echo raising every hair on goose flesh.  Whiting drops the receiver, horrified.  The plastic handset bounces off the desktop as it sinks in.  They’ve been shot!
