Excerpt - Covert Pursuit by Terri Reed

Covert Pursuit

by

Terri Reed




Boston homicide detective Angie Carlucci thought she was getting a much-needed vacation. But her Florida Keys holiday is interrupted when she sees someone dump a body bag in the ocean. In the tangle between arms dealers and treasure hunters, she's the only witness—and the main target. Unless a certain boat captain can keep her safe…



A pretty cop complicating his mission—and endangering his cover—is the last thing federal agent Jason Bodwell needs. Yet the mor...

This week's Street Team challenge

Captain's Log, Stardate 05.11.2010



So for those of you who are on my Street Team, I sent out a new challenge this week: The first seven people to give away all their bookmarks get an autographed ARC (Advanced Reading Copy, an uncorrected proof) of my debut novel, Sushi for One!

Too much "necessary" stuff

Captain's Log, Stardate 05.10.2010



The reason I've been AWOL the past week has been (1) work, (2) cleaning the house because (3) my parents are visiting from Hawaii!



I always enjoy when my folks come. I am very similar to both my parents, which amuses Captain Caffeine.



However, it also means cleaning the house. Those of you who have been following my blog for a while will remember the last time I posted before and after cleaning photos. Yeah, this time was pretty much the same except this ...

Nerd alert

Captain's Log, Supplemental



Captain Caffeine and I were watching last week's episode of the TV show CSI and it was one of those funny episodes as opposed to their more serious ones (I wish they'd get back on the Dr. Jekyll serial killer! Way cool!).



Anyway, poor Henry, one of the lab techs, has had some practical jokes played on him and he blames Hodges, who is admittedly one of my least favorite characters but he's also one of the most unique characters I've seen on TV.



Henry:
