9 Days

A powerful family will stop at nothing to protect its secrets...

Famous astrologist Agnes Sants-Mekler, a member of one of Maine's elite families, pleads guilty to murder. Her gifted, pre-teen son, Zar, says she's lying and he wants Dee Rommel to prove that - in nine days.

Former policewoman Dee Rommel, not yet thirty, is dealing with a permanent, life-changing injury sustained while part of Portland's police force. Her medical leave is up; she's made a contested decision to delay her return to the department and continue working with her godfather, PI Gordy Greer. Dee discovers the police are content with Agnes Sants-Melker's confession, but her intense curiosity - and need for justice - compels her to dig deeper to find the truth. As she sifts through the evidence, misdirections, and deceptions she finds that trusting the wrong person is unraveling a more devious plot - and leading to a life-threatening confrontation.

9 DAYSis the thrilling second installment in the award-winning Dee Rommel Mystery series.
