DYLAN'S
SONG

BLURB:
Dylan
Maguire returns to his native Ireland with psychic spy Vicki Boyd. Their
mission: to locate and extract a CIA Agent who disappeared in Dublin while on
the trail of a known terrorist. But when Dylan receives word that his
grandmother is dying, he is plunged into a past he thought he’d left behind
forever. His mission and the dark secrets he’d sought to keep hidden begin to
merge into an underworld that could cost him his life. He must now confront his
past demons and the real reason he left Ireland—while Vicki harbors a secret of
her own.
Suspense
Magazine says, “p.m.terrell’s writing is powerfully written and masterfully
suspenseful; you have to hang on for the ride of your life.” Midwest Book
Review says the Black Swamp Mysteries series is “page-turning action,
unforgettable characters, breathtaking descriptions and unexpected plot
twists.” And syndicated reviewer Marcia Freespirit says the series is
“riveting, spell-binding, sexy and intense!”
Brenda motioned for her to stand
to the side. Then she parted the curtains.
Dylan had come around the back of
the house while three men tumbled out of the pickup. They immediately converged
at the truck bed, where they picked up pipes and headed toward the front door.
“So, Eoghan,” Dylan called. His
voice was loud and heavy as he moved further from the house, drawing the
largest man’s attention to him. “What’re wantin’ with me now?”
“What have they got in their
hands?” Vicki whispered hoarsely.
“Lead pipes.” Brenda’s voice was
husky and strong.
“You know what we be wantin’,” the
largest one shouted. “We’re here to finish your sorry arse off; what we
should’a done a long time ago.”
The men began to separate. They
looked like a pack of wolves, Vicki thought, as one moved to Dylan’s left while
the other moved to his right. The ringleader, Eoghan, stood his ground directly
in front of him.
“He doesn’t stand a chance with
the three of them,” Vicki gasped. “Not spread out like they are, not even with
the gun.”
“Killin’ me won’t bring ‘er back,”
Dylan called. He continued backing away from the house.
“No, but it’ll put you in ’ail
that much sooner,” one of the others shouted.
“Kill me and you’ll spend your
life in a prison cell, Aidan,” Dylan said to him. “I’m not worth your freedom.”
“Why should we spend our lives in
prison for killin’ a man?” the third shouted. “You didn’t spend a day in the
clink for killin’ our sister!”
Vicki gasped. “My God!”
Brenda grabbed her shoulder,
forcing her to look her in the face. She hadn’t realized that her sister had
disappeared from the window. But now as she stared at her amber eyes burning
hot, she began to take in the pistols in each hand. “Slip on a coat and your
shoes,” she hissed. “Fast.”
