A Shane Investigation Collection: Books 1-3
(2021)(A book in the Shane Investigations series)
An omnibus of novels by Debra Erfert
FIRE SETTERS - A police sergeant, the woman who dumped him, and their second chance at love.
While on a stakeout to catch the cretin who’s stalking a client, Private Investigator Candice Shane finds a house on fire—at midnight. A pink tricycle in the yard prompts her hasty decision to break in, saving a sleeping woman and her three children.
Her ex-boyfriend, Sergeant Alex Delaney, thinks she’s insane to take on the woman as a client. But with the husband out of town during the incident, he’s the prime suspect, and Candice has a gut feeling he didn’t do it. Who would want a woman and three children dead?
As clue after clue leads Candice and Alex down a dangerous road, her heart is also on a treacherous path—one of falling for Alex again. Sure, Candice can dodge bullets and interrogate witnesses, but she can’t she resist Alex’s wit, charm, and good looks.
In the end, if she and Alex can’t find who set the fire, her heart might not be the only thing she loses.
Fire Setters: A Shane Investigations is a gripping crime thriller filled with heart-melting romance and mystery.
THE SILK STRANGLER - A police detective who wants a lifetime of love, a private investigator who values her independence, and their struggle to trust each other.
Private Investigator Candice Shane had a good reason for breaking up with her university boyfriend Alex Delaney five years ago. His career choice after graduation as a police officer was dangerous. She knew this personally after her parents, both cops, died by the same loathsome gunmen when she was only eight. But Candice wasn’t expecting her easy job of asking questions and simple surveillance to be just as hazardous.
Detective Alex Delaney understands Candice’s job. His love for her keeps him standing beside her while he’d rather stand in front of her to keep her safe from a maniac strangler who seeks out vulnerable women. Three bodies in three weeks and they still have no solid clues. Candice is brought in on the investigation as a consultant, but even being in the background brings her to the killer’s attention. Now it’s a race against time before he can claim another victim, and before Alex loses his love to the Silk Strangler.
The Silk Strangler: A Shane Investigations is a gripping crime thriller filled with heart-melting romance and mystery.
INTO THIN AIR - The small plane crash at the Sedona airport wasn’t typical: A Beechcraft nosedived into the wooded canyon after takeoff, no fire, the dead pilot still strapped into his seat, and the body of a missing teenage girl found in the rubble.
Private Investigator Candice Shane has a friend in trouble. Artist Parker Lane has been there for her in the past, putting together an impromptu wedding reception, and supplying the paintings for her house. Now it's time to return the favor.
When Parker first learns of her husband’s death in a plane crash, she is lost. When gruesome details emerge about his teenage girl passenger, she contacts Candice to investigate.
From Sedona to Phoenix to Las Vegas, Candice won’t stop until she unearths the dreadful facts, enlisting the help of her husband’s police contacts to discover the truth. Underage girls, a pocket full of jewelry, and a delusional 'best friend' provide plenty of adventure, danger, and even more treacherous questions.
Genre: Romantic Suspense
