ABOUT MELODY:
Two stories of deadly passion intertwine in this gripping mystery by best selling author Stacy-Deanne, who weaves a thrilling tale of love and death.
Melody is unlike any other thriller...
Melody Cruz is certain her sister’s new boyfriend, the wealthy, charming and handsome Keith Taylor, has a dark past that he will do anything to hide. Wanting to protect her sister, Melody works to uncover Keith’s secrets, not realizing that in doing so, she is sacrificing her own safety---because Keith will go to any lengths, dangerous or violent, to keep himself in control.
At the same time, a man named the “Albany Predator” has been brutally raping black women throughout the city, and Melody is convinced that her best friend is the rapist’s next target. Detectives Brianna Morris and Steven Kemp are placed on the case, determined to bring the sadistic felon to justice. But when things couldn’t get anymore complicated, all evidence is turned around to reveal a surprising suspect.
Full of forbidden desire and unwavering strength in the face of danger, Melody is a chilling tale that will leave readers breathless as they navigate all the plot twists and turns. Struggling to survive until the end, the diverse cast of characters will be left questioning their loyalties, their passions and how far they might be willing to go to protect the ones they love.
Quote for Melody:
“‘Melody’ sounds like a refreshing change of pace with a bit of mystery stirred in for good measure. After reading her Strebor debut, ‘Everlasting’ I have been anxious to see what else Stacy-Deanne has up her literary sleeve.”
