Stratus Fear

Marva Dale is the pen name for author Debra McReynolds. Retired from the public relations field, Debra now spends her free time indulging in her passion for writing. "I used to fill my school notebooks with stories," Debra relates, "and then add artwork to go along with them. My second grade teacher, Mrs. Daley, predicted that I would be a writer one day." A fan of the mystery genre, she enjoys crafting tales with a twist of suspense, a touch of romance, and a bit of humor. Debra and her husband, Dale, make their home in El Paso, Texas, with their dog, cats and rabbits. In the 22nd Century, Los Angeles Detective Cadye Parrish has been called in to help in the murder case of Gavin McAllister who lived on Terre Celeste, the wealthy second tier, and who worked for the Senesco Institute. Digging deeper, she finds a terrible plot involving an age-inducing drug produced by the institute and the unwitting victims of the conspiracy who all danced at the Midnight Lace Club. During her investigation, she meets Dane Merrick, the public relations man for the foundation. And now as she becomes intimate with Dane, Cadye finds she just might be falling for a mass murderer.

Chapter 52

We had a break in the case.Simbi Grover had finally allowed Libby Farah to search the motel room.In Buckley Grover's gym bag stashed behind the dresser, the sergeant found a crowbar with minute specks of blood on the tip; and once forensics matched the blood type and DNA with Gavin McAllister, we had our killer.Mrs. Grover swore she knew nothing about the crowbar or that her husband had been involved in a murder.She had a few thousand bucks on hand, but she also swore that Buckley had earned the money legitimately through odd jobs.Libby would pass on this information to Detective Harrison Sebring on Terre Celeste so he could close his end of the case.

But we still had Buckley Grover's death to contend with down here.Had he been killed deliberately to silence him forever, or could he have been a victim of an accidental drug mix-up?A motive for McAllister's death hadn't been established yet, but we did have the murder weapon and now the deceased murderer.
