In "Borderline," Joseph Badal delivers his first mystery novel with the same punch and non-stop action found in his acclaimed thrillers.
Barbara Lassiter and Susan Martinez, two New Mexico homicide detectives, are assigned to investigate the murder of a wealthy Albuquerque socialite. They soon discover that the victim, a narcissistic borderline personality, played a lifetime game of destroying people's lives. As a result, the list of suspects in her murder is extensive.
The detectives find themselves enmeshed in a helix of possible perpetrators with opportunity, means, and motive-and soon question giving their best efforts to solve the case the more they learn about the victim's hideous past.
Their job gets tougher when the victim's psychiatrist is murdered and DVDs turn up that show the doctor had serial sexual relationships with a large number of his female patients, including the murder victim.
"Borderline" presents a fascinating cast of characters, including two heroic female detective-protagonists and a diabolical villain; a rollercoaster ride of suspense; and an ending that will surprise and shock the reader.All Rights Reserved

Case In Roses [GxG] by Nik_kun

Amara Solace, a Detective working for the LAPD that needs to come to terms with her tricky and enigmatic consultant, Li Hyera. This story makes for a strong psychological tug-of-war between the detective's skill and the consultant's interference. She solves the case, but did she really solve it? That doubt will eat at her, and it'll only get worse as the consultant's influence grows. That makes her dynamic with the consultant even more interesting. The consultant thrives in unpredictability and manipulation, while the detective wants everything to be precise, logical, and under her control. The more the consultant interferes, the more the detective struggles with the feeling that she's not the one driving the case, given her perfectionism. Let's see how the dynamic of the story goes and the possible dark romance building up between the two women. Shall we?

"He better keep his hands off you or there will be consequences, this dagger is the only thing that can kill him for good" He whispers in my ear and laughs cruelly. "What are you going to do?" I ask. My voice nearly cracks. "I'm going to kill him" He says laughing and takes up a dagger. "No, please, no" I whisper. The tears roll down my face. He throws me down to the floor, then walks out with the dagger. He slams the door shut, leaving me here all alone crying on the floor in pain. {A stunning cover made by @bitchmafia} {HIGHEST RANK #18 in vampire} {HIGHEST RANK #14 in kindness} {HIGHEST RANK #1 in secretary}
