    There's a serial killer in the Security Directorate
    It was a beautiful afternoon. The sunlight glinted off the glass windows of the executive residential towers at exactly the right angle to blind anyone dumb enough to enter its hallowed sanctum.
    Captain Tara Cline forced to work with nemesis Captain Max Wade.
    Who broke her heart at University.
    Can she solve the crime before he does?

    Alexandria Blaelock

    Alexandria Blaelock writes stories, some of them for Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine and Pulphouse Fiction Magazine. She's also written four self-help books applying business techniques to personal matters like getting dressed, cleaning house, and feeding your friends. As a recovering Project Manager, she’s probably too fond of sticking to plan. She lives in a forest because she enjoys birdsong, the scent of gum leaves and the sun on her face. When not telecommuting to parallel universes from her Melbourne based imagination, she watches K-dramas, talks to animals, and drinks Campari. At the same time.
