Say Goodbye by E.J. Rand

say-goodbye.jpgOn the morning we meet him, Gary Kemmerman is roped into becoming an amateur sleuth and finds his second chance at love. He's wearing a wedding ring to preserve memories; Becca is wearing the band as a defense against men. Not easy for those two, falling for one another--but it allows him to say goodbye to his late wife, and uncovering the multi-million dollar corporate scam behind his friend's death gives him purpose. When the killer comes for Gary but takes Becca, he may have to say goodbye again. He's not a cop, doesn't carry a gun, isn't bulletproof, and is up against professional assassins--but he can't say goodbye again.

"Buckle your seatbelts for a roller coaster of a ride."

"Say Goodbye" is exciting, moving, and very believable. Easy to read and enjoyable, this is an excellent novel!"

"SAY GOODBYE starts with a bang and carries you at a breakneck pace all the way to the very satisfying end. A retired widower finds the courage to investigate a friend's murder, battle corporate corruption, and even seize a second chance at love! I'm looking forward to more Reluctant Sleuth books!"

ej-rand.jpgAt Wharton, as a destroyer officer, in suits as senior VP of a NYSE management consulting company and then senior VP at a public relations company, I found ways to write. Winning Deadly Ink Press' 2007 David G. Sasher, Sr. Best Unpublished Thriller Novel Award was a great honor. My genre is the mystery thriller, but I can't write a novel without offering a deep love story. I live with my wife in northern New Jersey. Visit my website at http://www.reluctantsleuth.com.
