If the Devil Had a Dog

Sidney McQueen flees the most evil man she's ever known - her husband. Can Markus Yeager, former Marine turned CIA operative, convince her to accept his help when he's grappling with his own personal demons? IF THE DEVIL HAD A DOG - an edgy, psychological thriller that keeps you riveted. "This novel will thrash you about on an emotional rollercoaster ride. Some of the narrative is so chillingly authentic that you may stop for a moment and wonder how much of what you are reading is fiction." Gary B. Haley - Author of The Attunement and The Scrapbook Lecture On her third failed marriage, thirty-four-year-old Sidney McQueen regrets that her Ph.D. in Psychology wasn't useful in choosing husbands. She feels better suited choosing horses. When her divorce attorney advises her to disappear for a while, she heeds the warning. But can she disappear without a trace when her soon-to-be ex-husband, a powerful attorney with ties to Mexican drug cartels, is hell-bent to find her? He wants back what belongs to him - and it's not just Sidney he's after. Markus Yeager, former Marine turned CIA operative, has a top-secret past. Bearing physical and emotional scars from a time he'd like to forget, he has every reason to be suspicious when Sidney pulls into town, horse trailer in tow. Her life-or-death situation draws him back into a world he thought he'd left behind, a world of weapons, drugs, money, and dangerous traffickers who'd put a bullet in your head while they mouthed their Hail Marys. Thrown together by circumstance, drawn closer by mutual need, Sidney and Markus uncover a web of treachery and unspeakable violence. In their quest to expose the cartel and bring a murderer to justice, chasing the truth becomes a frantic race against a deadly predator. "IF THE DEVIL HAD ADOG is a layered, complex thriller that takes you in unexpected directions. The book is not for the weak hearted as there is some hardcore violence and scary stuff, but the heart of the story is about who you are when the going gets tough." SusanMax - AmazonReview
