A nightmare waits in the alley…
Stabbed in an alley behind the Black Cat Blues bar, private investigator Jimmy Daniels clings to life just long enough to tell Maggy Malone a secret.
Maggy, a curvy, Blues singer with a sultry voice and a razor sharp mind is starting her life over after a lousy marriage. Reluctant at first to get involved with a murder, she tells no one the secret.
But when the murderer stalks her, she changes her mind.
Maggy teams up with Jimmy’s brother, Logan, a handsome suit with a tidy view of life. They figure out the killer is looking for gold buried on Gabriola Island by the notorious, cult-leader Brother XII.
As the murderer tracks down the gold, the body count rises. Will Maggy catch him? Or will she be his next victim?
And the lady sings the blues…

Vancouver Blues Suspense Series, Book 1
When the going gets
tough… the tough go sailing
“Silence filled the
room for a minute, companionable silence; the kind married couples live in.
Each lost in their own thoughts and yet together. Married… couples? Did she
really just think that? Her shoulders relaxed. Being with Hunter felt
like sliding into a warm bath, but then he’d look at her and the water would
boil.
“The wind’s good,”
he said walking over to the window.
That was his way of
saying it was time to go sailing. “Uh, Hunter, I don’t think so.”
“I’m guessing
Peterson isn’t letting you look at Edgar’s things. He’ll want to go through
them with a certified, Mountie, magnifying glass. You’re obviously not doing
your day jobs today, so let’s go sailing.” He turned towards her and raised his
hands like a lawyer about to rest his case. “It’s the best way, I know of, to
clear your head. Get the big picture.”
“You’re crazy.”
Three murders, creepy psychic feelings, and a bad guy on the loose. She
couldn’t sail off and play on the ocean. Could she?
“Not so much,” he
said. He gave her one of those killer looks that made her mind stop working.”
Jo-Ann Carson has lived most of her life on islands off the west coast of Canada, surrounded by snow covered mountains, lush rain forests and pristine beaches.
Growing up, she dreamed of traveling the world like James Bond, searching for relics like Indiana Jones, and finding true love, so it's no surprise that in her Mata Hari Series she combines elements of adventure, danger and steamy romance.
In her Vancouver Blues Series she slides into the realm of Urban Noir and explores the dark side of the city. These books are mainstream suspense with strong romantic elements and are very-Vancouver.
