Traveling in August 2022

Image
I will be travelling again the next couple of days. This would be the 4th trip that I am making this year. The first two trips were personal travel and the third trip was work related which I shared about here . These are all travel to the capital city although I was at different part of the city each time. This time round, it's yet another personal travel to meet up with a family member and I am looking forward to the quality time together as well places we have planned to visit. I haven't decide which book i will bring along with me. As usual, I will bring a title. There are times when I would have selected a title by now but there are times when it will be a last minute selection. this time round, it seems that it will be a last minute selection.  Let's just wait and see.

Faye is alone, emotionally shattered, and financially devastated--but hell hath no fury like a woman with a violent past bent on vengeance. Jack is about to get exactly what he de...

Her only shot to be a true blue again is to solve a major case on her own, and prove she has the right to wear the uniform. Even with her police chief sister on her side, she has to work in the shadows: a vindictive U.S. attorney is looking for any reason to send Mace back behind bars. Then Roy Kingman enters her life. Roy is a young lawyer who aided the poor until he took a high-paying job at a law firm in Washington. Mace and Roy meet after he discovers the dead body of a female partner at the firm. As they investigate the death, they start uncovering surprising secrets. Soon, what began as a fairly routine homicide takes a terrifying and unexpected turn . . . into something comple...
