Meet Ruth and her best friend Shona in Peck-Pocket, a free fun short read set in Paris, five years prior to Dead Ahead.

When best friends Ruth and Shona meet for a girls weekend in Paris, they're looking for cobblestone streets, Bohemian markets and mouthwatering petit fours. Ruth doesn't expect to meet a flirtatious French busker or a young girl, desperate find her maman's stolen locket. Neither do they imagine tracking a pickpocketing parrot through shadowed lanes—where danger could lurk around the next dark corner.

Peck-Pocket is free when you sign up for my newsletter*. While it's part of the Ruthless-the-Killer universe it can be read as a standalone short story.
