Retired Cop-Turned-Writer Pens Police Procedural Mystery as His First Novel

Psychologist Paula Mitchell finds out about her patient’s imminent danger and seeks Homicide Detective Jerry Riggs’ help to save her patient’s life. Kae Carlson believes she will be killed less than three weeks from now, on her twenty-sixth birthday. Kae has multiple personalities. Through her different personalities, “Connie”, “Maxine”, and “Cathleen”, Dr. Mitchell learns about her patient’s past traumatic experience. Kae was raped on her thirteenth birthday by a High Priest of a satanic cult. A miscarriage prevented Kae from delivering a baby to be sacrificed and now the cult wants Kae to take its place. Riggs, together with his partner Bob LaMoria, battles against time and the scarcity of clues. Can they save Kae’s life?

“A Birthday To Die For” is an intriguing and engaging mystery novel that showcases a well-crafted plot development coupled with suspense and the successful melding of different and complicated topics, Multiple Personality Disorders and Satanic Cults, that draw readers’ attention into every page of the book.

For those who fancy mystery and detective novels, this book is a must-have and a must-read.
