Dear Reader:

In this installment of a new mystery series, E.L. Myrieckes introduces us to Hakeem Eubanks and Aspen Skye, homicide detectives who team up to track a serial killer who is terrorizing residents in Ohio.

The author cleverly weaves this spine-tingling tale that is full of twists and leaves readers guessing what's to come next. A group of college students never realized that years later, their prank would lead to deadly mayhem. Mix in County Attorney Scenario Davenport, who has her own surprises, and courtroom drama supplements the spice.

Myrieckes, also known as Oasis, is an author who focuses on creating memorable characters and stimulating story lines. I'm sure once you start reading
Wrong Chance,
you'll want to continue this thrilling ride with a psychopath to the very end. Check out his other titles including
Duplicity, White Heat, Push Comes to Shove
and the ebook
Eternal Flame.

For Billy Williams Jr.

ONE

D
eath was the only solution. Killing herself was more humane than facing the truth of how she destroyed their family. She authored the suicide letter in an admirable script, which explained each and every sickening detail, and left it neatly folded on his junky desk. She purposefully placed the suicide letter between his self-proclaimed Bible,
The 48 Laws of POWER,
and his
Animal Lovers
magazine. Without the shadow of a doubt, she knew for certain her husband would find it there.

When he was home, he spent more quality time at that damn desk—smoking marijuana, frolicking with the computer, playing email tag with his burnt-out animal enthusiasts, updating his Facebook account—than he did doing anything else, other than trying to get her pregnant.

She stood in the doorway of their nursery with a .45 automatic dangling at her side. A tear rolled down her face. Despair swallowed huge chunks of her soul without chewing first. She wondered how he'd found the time between the long hours he put in at the veterinarian hospital and traveling the country to participate in moral protest to design such an elaborate nursery for their unborn child. Then the next thought slammed into her gut like a fist: He would be the epitome of the “World's Greatest Dad” cliché. But she robbed him of that honor, which was part of the reason she knew killing herself was easier than taking on the truth.
