Connect the Dots by Denise Robbins
In Denise Robbins' latest, Connect the Dots, CIA Human Intelligence Operator, Charley Duston gets the shock of her life when she opens her freezer to find the picture of her murdered ex-lover. Worse is the implied message: She is next. Not one to give into intimidation tactics, Charley is determined to uncover the truth behind her ex's death and bring the culprits to justice.
Not knowing whom she can trust, she moves to an undisclosed location where she can covertly investigate the death threats. Here she meets her new neighbor Jake Frisbie at gunpoint when she mistakes him for a carjacker. Attracted to the handsome, easy-going hunk, Charley knows her relationship with Jake would only put him in danger. She tries to fight off her feelings but finally gives in just before her world crashes and she is kidnapped.
The beautiful, new neighbor entrances Jake but he can make no sense of her secretive nocturnal disappearances. As a Special Agent, he investigates her and is shocked to learn she is at the center of an international crisis. Despite common sense, he becomes involved with the young woman and when she disappears, he vows to find her. Risking his life, Jake ventures into the world of black sites and international intrigue to save the woman he loves and expose the responsible criminals. No matter how high up in the government they sit.
"Denise Robbins' latest crime thriller takes readers on a page-turning tale of suspense, intrigue and international espionage with a storyline ripped straight from today's headlines. Torture, secret prisons, and ghost flights are just a few of the modern-day themes touched upon in Connect the Dots." ~Jessica James
Denise Robbins, born and raised in the Midwest, migrated to Florida, and finally settled down to her home in New Hampshire that she shares with her kittens Mischief and Mayhem.
From her back deck, she sits outside, listens as the old roller coaster from the local amusement park inches its way up the wooden structure on its clanking chains, and waits to hear the kids scream in terror and delight. The best mental therapy a girl could ask for. The long, cold winter nights in New Hampshire provide the serenity and motivation to write excitement into the night.
After twenty years in the computer technology industry, Denise decided to use that experience and her passion for mysteries and thrillers to write her first techno-romantic thriller novel, It Happens in Threes. Her latest novel, Killer Bunny Hill is available now, and Connect the Dots is right on its trail for a December 2009 release date. In 2010, readers can expect to see Denise's fourth novel, Never Tempt Danger.
In addition to writing, Denise enjoys scuba diving (only in warm water), snowboarding, and playing in her garden.
