Rosemarie Aquilina
A Spellbinding Thriller
Have you ever wondered what really happens to Santa Claus letters? One day when things go horribly awry in Detroit and Sarasota, some children’s letters are hijacked by Nick Archer, a religiously obsessed, narcissist, who takes his private interpretation of the moral law into his own creepy hands and leaves a trail of devastation in the two cities.
In Detroit, co-ed partners and wise-cracking lovers, Detectives Jaq McSween and David Maxwell, team up with Sarasota Detectives Abel Mendoza and his partner, Rabbit, to find this daunting killer.
When Jaq’s friend, the lovely nurse, Rita Rose, takes a chance on love again, she gets caught in Nick’s web. Working with the ME, she adds her expertise to the investigation until events take a sinister turn.
Can this diverse team of characters pool their insights, skills, and taste for bad food to save Rita when she discovers the final clues, or will she become the next victim?

Reviews
A Charming Villain
Triple Cross Killer is a smart, fast-paced thriller that kept me spellbound from beginning to end. The charming villain with his meticulous manner looks good in a pilot’s uniform. Why wouldn’t an intelligent, beautiful woman fall for him? But the author lets readers into the killer’s dark side and the activities he does for the benefit of humanity–so we know Rita Rose is in trouble.

Mesmerizing Tale of Murder & Mayhem
“Triple Cross Killer … is a powerful, tale of murder and mayhem set in Detroit and Sarasota,…It’s a highly entertaining, fast-paced crime novel that’s not a whodunit – the murderer, Nick Archer, is identified in the first sentence. What’s intriguing is the twisted religious motive of the clever, deceptive killer and how he masterminds his deadly efforts.
