The Ball & Chain Thrillers
Cooper's running from the mob…
Willow's running from her past… And a scorned sociopath is hell-bent on making them pay. Through fate -- or a temporary misalignment of the stars -- Willow Ball and Cooper Chain cross paths for the first time since college. Sparks fly, but not for the right reasons. The ex-lovers stumble over a dead body. The discovery fractures a family, but it's the killer's calling card that leaves everyone chilled to the bone. The cops are baffled, unable to connect the dots. That's when Willow and Cooper reluctantly step in. As the bodies pile up, a pattern slowly develops. At least that's how Ball & Chain see it. And then someone emerges from Willow's past -- and it rocks her to the core. Could he be connected to this string of murders? It's been 18 years, 7 months, and 21 days. The torment can last only so long. The past might provide the breadcrumbs to end this nightmare, but Willow and Cooper may not live long enough to see it through. Can the snarky crime-fighting duo stop the killing in the name of mercy? Or will they be the final victims? If you're a fan of Michael Connelly's Ballard and Bosch, David Baldacci's King and Maxwell, Tess Gerritsen's Rizzoli and Isles, and the TV show "Castle," then you'll be sucked into this first, page-turning Ball & Chain thriller! Mindi Mendrano had it all -- she was a golden goddess with a tennis prowess few had seen.
And then she vanished. Who had the greatest motive to kill her? Before Cooper Chain can finally get the green light to pen his first book -- a biography on a once-famous tennis phenom -- he must find her. If she's still alive. Can secrets kill? A man disappears into the bowels underneath the city of Dallas, and Willow can't make sense of it or the odd people she befriends. Does at least one man have an ulterior motive? Two die the hard way, leaving Willow and Cooper scrambling to see through a haze of lies. Can secrets kill? Retracing every aspect of Mindi's former life, team Ball & Chain uncover a key to her past. But will it unlock memories that create the ultimate time bomb? The very existence of a hidden society is on the line -- and one man will either force their loyalty or recreate one of the deadliest events in modern history. Can secrets kill? Cooper and Willow have one chance to stop the killing and save a life. But will they be too late? |

Is it possible this could be the end of the road for Ball & Chain?
