Overnight Delivery - Suspense PI Mystery kindle ebook marketing by Nathan Birr
Two cases. One day. No worries.
At least that’s how California private investigator Jackson Douglas
sees it. After all, the cases are simple and his plan of sleeping the day away
is already shot. Plus, he could use a distraction from the tragedy for which
this day—his 30th birthday—serves as a reminder.
Jackson’s morning begins when his neighbor Connie asks him to ensure
that her visiting niece’s potential date, Landon, is suitable (enough) for her.
Then a cute but ditzy valley girl named Shay wants protection from unknown
forces while she delivers wooden idols in her brother’s place. Although a
little dubious, Jackson takes both cases and goes to work.
He splits his morning and afternoon between the two cases, doing his due
diligence on Landon (he’s a bit of a playboy, but a nice enough guy) and
accompanying Shay on a pair of deliveries to posh L.A. neighborhoods. He also
squeezes in lunch with Maggie, his casual girlfriend and a reporter with the Los Angeles Times, who helps him with his research. Throughout the day, including
dinner with his grandpa Leroy and dessert with Sam, another casual girlfriend,
he can’t shake the feeling that something isn’t quite right. Is it Shay? Her
story? The odd recipients of the deliveries? The nagging keeps growing louder,
but it doesn’t get any clearer.
All that changes when Jackson returns to his place to meet Shay and
finds evidence that she has been kidnapped. Realizing her fears weren’t
irrational after all, he tracks her to a warehouse where she’s being held by a
local gang. Although Jackson is able to rescue her, he does so at great
expense. By now he’s in too deep to get out, even when Shay reveals the whole
truth to him.
