I am FINALLY getting all my Christmas decorations out of the attic and dressing up the house for the Christmas season. With all the totes in front of me and still closed I made the pledge to purge anything that I did not use. No more holding onto things just because. Problem is when I was going through the totes I realized I use everything in them. I already purged last year. DRAT! So many totes and boxes and I need all of them. I don’t want to need all of them. But I do. I put out a few things yesterday and decided that I would walk away from it and look at it all with fresh eyes in the morning. I don’t have much hope though. I get pretty darn festive for the holidays and I want as much sparkle and pizazz as I can get. Maybe a trip to Target for supplies will help.
The Reflecting Pool (The Marko Zorn Series Book 1)
by Otho Eskin
Genre: Thrillers | Mystery
FREE for a limited time
Murder leads to the White House
Marko Zorn, a Washington, D.C. homicide detective with expensive tastes in art, classic cars, and women, must take on extra work — not always strictly legal, often unorthodox and usually dangerous — to supplement his income — work which requires his special combination of skill and steel nerves. Although he’s adept at navigating the corridors of law enforcement and the world of criminal gangs, he’d prefer to stay home and watch old movies, enjoy his art collection, and listen to cool jazz.
When Zorn discovers the body of a Secret Service agent — a supposed drowning victim — it leads him to a domestic terrorist group with tentacles in the White House — a White House that does not want this death investigated. As the demands of his professional life escalate, Zorn’s alternate career heats up, placing him in the middle of competing D.C. crime bosses feuding over a shipment of illegal arms — making Zorn the hunted and the hunter. He needs to avoid becoming the victim as he navigates the twin forces of evil closing in on him from his legitimate job — facing down political power — and his secret side job.
