Some people attract trouble—Dezeray Jackson attracts the broken. Her Great Aunt Violet always warned her to steer clear of damaged souls, but it’s no use. It’s like she’s got a neon sign flashing, Tell me anything. And they always do.

After a long night spent trailing liars and cheaters, Dez wants nothing more than wine, popcorn, and a mindless TV binge. But when a frustrated cashier corners her for advice, she can’t shake the feeling that trouble is brewing.

Then the cashier’s 19-year-old sister turns up dead. The police call it suicide. The sister doesn’t buy it. She begs Dez to prove otherwise. There’s just one problem—her sister had a boyfriend, but no one knows his name.

Tracking down a ghost isn’t easy, but Dez has never been one to back down. The deeper she digs, the darker the secrets become. If she finds the mystery man, will she also find proof of murder? Or will she uncover something even more dangerous?

If you love whip-smart female PIs who don’t pull their punches, you won’t want to miss Tempus: A Dezeray Jackson Novel, the third book in Kori D. Miller’s Sinfully Scandalous Mysteries series.

Fans of Sue Grafton, Janet Evanovich, and Marcia Muller will love Dez Jackson—she’s sharp, sassy, and has a thing for weapons, good-looking men, and a great game of pool. Only one of those helps her solve cases.
