The Protector (A Sydney Valentine Mystery)

By Danielle Lenee Davis

When a social worker''s brutal murder leaves no clues, one detective must uncover a history of lies to expose the killer. Detective Sydney Valentine is more than willing to sacrifice a normal life to put ruthless killers behind bars. But even the seasoned detective can''t quite shake the image of Scrabble letters stuffed into a dead social worker''s mouth. With a puzzling crime scene and no immediate suspects, Valentine''s trail threatens to turn cold... When another suspicious death hints at a shadowy past, Valentine suspects she has a clever serial killer on her hands. As the investigative noose tightens and the body count rises, will the determined detective piece together the clues in time, or will she become the next victim of the murderer''s deadly game? The Protector is a gripping police procedural novel. If you like complex twists and turns, and gutsy heroines, then you''ll love Danielle L. Davis''s captivating book. "Really fantastic! Kept me guessing, trying to figure out who the killer was. I thought I had it figured out but at the end the author threw me a monkey wrench!!!" "Strong characters, tight plot keeps you guessing until the end. Knowing WHO dunit is a surprise you don''t expect or see coming." "I am on my third book by this author and love every one of them and can''t put them down. I just bought another Sydney Valentine book that is only 15 pages which I normally don''t mess with but I love these books. Hate the thought of finishing the third one already. Hope she writes many many more of these. A very talented author." "I''ve read a lot of whodunits, but this mystery had me guessing throughout the entire book. I read til 4 a.m. because I couldn''t put it down; I just had to know who the murderer was. I didn''t figure it out til the very last pages and that''s what makes a great story. This is the first time I''ve read this author and I must say, "Hats off to you, Ms. Davis. I can''t wait to read the next book in the series!" "Nice twist at the end! If you are a true mystery fan, you will definitely like this book. No spoilers here, good start to a new series." "I couldn''t put it down! The characters were easy to relate to and the story is possible. I would recommend this to everyone." "This story has everything you want in a murder mystery...suspense, humor and a twist at the end that you don''t see coming. This book is an easy to read page-turner that won''t disappoint. Professionally written. Highly recommended." "Okay...if you love eve dallas, of the JD Robb series, then you will f$!/=ING love this book!!!! Let me tell you she is like Eve Dallas, on steroids... cannot be happier to have read this book!!!!" "This is my first Danielle L. Davis book and she just gained a new fan! I became immersed in the story, constantly trying to figure out who the killer might be and what the scrabble letters, left at each scene, spelled out. The storyline was unique, held my attention so well that I found myself reading well into the wee hours of the morning. The characters were well developed, quirky & interesting. I really liked the sarcasm, side remarks and banter between Detective Valentine and Bernie. After finishing The Protector I can''t wait to read more in this series!" "OMG! Ms. Davis thank you for writing this amazing book! I read this book in two days. I love when I read a book and the author makes it difficult to figure out the ending. I was not expecting that ending!" "WOW! Excellent story, just when you had everything figured out, the end of the story comes and you find out that you are wrong! Highly recommend this book for people who think that they can figure out how things end!" This book had me from page 1
