Dead Spaces

Be careful what you dig for...A forensic surgeon in the New Orleans Coroner’s Office-and part of her dad’s Baker’s Dozen-Hannah Baker thought she knew where to dig, how and what to slice, and when to walk away. But when her big brother gets her involved in the exhumation of a couple of old coffins, she realizes the past can’t be ignored. Not when its been simmering up a big pile of trouble for longer than Hannah’s born days. Only New Orleans could produce a ＂Baked＂ gumbo of the mob, shadowy figures from the past, annoying figures from the present, murders, attempted murders, and a really cute detective who is technically off limits on account of he’s her big brother’s partner.Good thing NOPD Detective Logan Ferris doesn’t know the meaning of ＂off limits,＂ cuz once more the Big Easy is getting mighty uneasy.

Pauline Baird Jones had a tough time with reality from the get-go. After ＂schooling＂ from four, yes FOUR brothers, she knew that some people needed love and others needed shooting (fictionally of course). Romantic suspense was the logical starting point, but there were more worlds to explore, more rules to break and minds to bend. She grabbed her pocket watch and time travel device and dove through the wormhole into the world of science fiction and even some Steampunk. Now she wanders among the genres, trying a little of this and a lot of that, rampaging through her characters’ lives like Godzilla because she does love her peril (when it’s not happening to her). Never fear, she gives her characters happy endings. Well, the good characters. The bad ones get justice. Pauline has published 16 novels. Her latest release is Sucker Punch: An Uneasy Future. It is the second book in the new series and a spin-off of Project Enterprise and The Big Uneasy.
