Charlie Swift series by Laura DiSilverio
Requirements: ePub Reader, Mobi Reader, 2.6 MB
Overview: "I wrote my first novel for a creative writing class at Trinity University. Professor Bob Flynn inspired me and heroically refrained from gagging when reading the contemporary romance I titled “Jeweled Torment.” That manuscript is buried in a box in the garage, along with the Regency romance I wrote shortly after joining the Air Force.
I concentrated on becoming a good intelligence officer for many years before doing any more significant writing. I served with an F-16 wing in Korea, helped resolve reports of live-sightings of Vietnam prisoners of war while working out of the embassy in Bangkok, pushed paper at the Defense Intelligence Agency, earned my Master’s degree at the University of Pennsylvania, taught English for three years at the Air Force Academy, learned cool things about satellites (none of which I can ever write about) at the National Reconnaissance Office, attended various professional schools, did my time in the Pentagon, commanded a squadron in England, and ended up in Colorado. Along the way, I married my wonderful husband and produced two beautiful children who re-defined what is important in life. A moment of Holy Spirit-guided epiphany in Elliot’s Bay bookstore in Seattle convinced me it was time to embark on writing and mothering full time. I retired from the Air Force in late 2004." —Laura DiSilverio
Genre: Mystery / Cozy Mystery
Swift Justice: Charlotte “Charlie” Swift prefers working alone. That’s why after eight years as an Air Force investigator she became a PI rather than a cop. She lives alone, she works alone, and aside for the occasional flirtation with sexy cop Connor Montgomery or her hunky neighbor Father Dan, she likes it that way. Then her silent partner flees the country, leaving his wife, Gigi, with nothing but the house, the Hummer, and a half interest in Swift Investigations. Charlie ends up with a heap of debt and Gigi, who has decided to be a not-so-silent partner. This change comes about while Charlie is trying to find the mother of a baby abandoned on a client’s doorstep. While following leads, she sends Gigi out on crazy assignments, hoping that the pampered socialite will be driven to quit. However, when the baby’s mother turns up dead, there’s a murderer on the loose, and Charlie will need all the help she can get.
Swift Justice is a Lefty Award finalist for best humorous mystery.
Swift Edge: When world-class figure skater Dmitri Fane goes missing, his partner knows just whom to hire. It's up to Swift Investigations to find the missing Fane, and fast---the Olympics are just weeks away. It should be no trouble for the investigative team of Charlie Swift and Gigi Goldman: Their chief obstacle is Gigi's teenage daughter, Kendall, and her mad crush on Fane. That is, until the skating team's coach is brutally attacked and a colleague of Dmitri is killed, and things start to get complicated.
Gigi's corralling a lovesick Kendall and dying to test out the hilarious techniques from her surveillance class. Charlie's dodging bullets and fending off Detective Connor Montgomery's advances. Their client is suddenly MIA. Can Charlie and Gigi solve two missing-persons cases and a murder at once, or will the culprit get off skate-free?
Fast-paced adventure, high-stakes intrigue, and the madcap capers of these unlikely partners-in-crime solving make Swift Edge a delightful and welcome addition to the series.
Swift Run: With Charlie Swift convalescing from a gunshot wound, Gigi Goldman is in charge of running Swift Investigations. Imagine her surprise when Heather-Anne, the personal trainer who ran off to Costa Rica with Gigi's husband, shows up, wanting to hire them to find Les who has gone missing. Gigi's first instinct is to say scram, but then she remembers that Les fathered her children and that Heather-Anne is a paying client. She takes the case and soon finds Les holed up in Aspen, hiding from his girlfriend. He begs Gigi to take him back. But then Heather-Anne's dead body turns up, and Gigi is named the prime suspect. Les disappears again and Gigi and Charlie hunt for him, hoping he can clear Gigi's name. Detective Connor Montgomery is at odds with Charlie and she must turn to Father Dan Allgood for help in solving their most difficult and personal case yet.
The third in the series, Swift Run is another thrilling and hilarious romp with this engaging crime-fighting duo.
