Congratulations to Midwest Author Club's very own Patricia Hackel on the new release of her book, Deadly Refusals. The book is a suspense thriller that was first published in 2008. This is a second printing with a few changes and an epilogue for those readers who thought there should be a sequel.
The small rural town of Grandview Park Illinois was a safe haven, until fire fighters find the bodies of two prominent doctors and their daughter in a newly constructed building that was supposed to be a medical building. The local police worked on the triple homicide for a couple of years but came up with nothing. A homeless vagrant moves into the building where the murders were committed and many residents suspect the old vagabond of the killings. The case is taken over by three special homicide detectives from Chicago. The lead detective, Jeff, is totally frustrated until he meets Emily Mitchell who holds information that will close the case. The young girl becomes involved in betrayal, child abuse, and extreme danger. Despite the fact that Jeff finds her annoying, he can't do without her help and suddenly realizes that he doesn't want to. When her life is threatened, Jeff promises to protect ... but fails.
