This week, let's take a look at Invisible.
They found each other. Then the killer found them.
Detective Jackson “Jax” McKenna walks into a psychologist’s office and finds that the doctor bears a striking resemblance to his first love, Lainie, who disappeared ten years ago after their disastrous first date ended in violence.
Dr. Elizabeth Parker is really Elaine Wilson, Jax’s Lainie. She’s been in hiding since the night that changed both their lives. Jax discovers the truth when the killer lets Lainie know he’s found her. When Jax and Lainie go on the run to keep Lainie safe, old feelings resurface as the killer threatens their lives. Can Jax save Lainie and help her stay Invisible?
Book Hook:
“Dr. Parker?
Your four o’clock appointment is here.” Sheila’s announcement made me jump and
when I looked at the clock, I realized how much time had passed while I was
deep in thought. This was the last appointment of the week, and I was ready for
a couple of days off to unwind.
I shuffled the
papers on my desk and found the new patient file I’d been reading when Sheila
called. The file included official documents from police department internal
affairs for a psychological evaluation. I’ve seen several of these orders over
the years. It’s protocol whenever an active officer is wounded in the line of
duty and is required before they’re allowed to return to work. I reached for
the folder and pressed the intercom button. “Sheila, please send him in as soon
as he’s filled out the insurance paperwork. Thank you.”
Sheila knew to
give me a few extra minutes to allow time to limp to the conversation area to
set the stage and sit in my customary spot. I preferred not to begin sessions
with the inevitable questions about my own disability. The people who came to
see me were in need of my expertise and compassion. It was all about their
healing, not mine.
The name on the
file folder, J. McKenna, gave me a chill. He was wounded in the line of duty,
shot by a bank robbery suspect. Seeing the name reminded me of where I came
from and why I was in hiding. I pushed the memories down. I’m not that person anymore. That person doesn’t exist. It wasn’t
necessary to touch the locket underneath my sweater as a reminder, but it had
become a nervous habit. The locket was the only thing I kept from that life.
The door opened,
and Sheila showed my patient in and as my eyes met his, my heart stopped for
what seemed like hours. After reading the file, I was afraid of this. How many
Jackson McKennas could there be? The hair
is shorter, and the face is older, but it’s him, I would know those eyes
anywhere. Jackson McKenna. He was my first love and indirectly the reason I
have to use a cane to walk farther than across the room.
