Intent on unraveling the cold case of her parents’ mysterious demise, Jett's return is marked by a chilling discovery: the bodies of Mayor Peabody and his panicked lover hidden under her guest bed. With the help of her best friend, police detective Gwen Stuart, and Sophia DeLuca, her live-in dog nanny with mafia ties, Jett finds herself embroiled in a perilous investigation. Escalating violence—a bombed dive boat at her parents’ underwater crash site, a car explosion, and a thwarted attack by an armed intruder, all point to an adversary determined to keep lethal secrets buried. As they delve deeper, the trio confronts a conspiracy that threatens not only to silence them forever, but also to shatter the serene facade of Banyan Isle. Book 2 – Dropped Dead The serene life of apprentice private detective Jett Jorgensen is disrupted by a series of grim events on Banyan Isle, Florida. Working toward establishing her Valkyrie Private Detective Agency, Jett had hoped for an influx of clients, not corpses with their feet encased in concrete. As if the startling arrival of dead bodies at her doorstep wasn't alarming enough, the appearance of five king cobras on her estate raises the stakes further. Jett's situation is complicated by Mona Wang, a new associate harboring a lethal secret that threatens everyone involved. The situation spirals out of control with the kidnapping of Jett's dog nanny, prompting Jett to enlist the help of ex-SEALs. However, the danger hits closer to home when Jett herself is kidnapped, teetering on the brink of becoming the next victim in a chilling chain of events. Book 3 – Dead Ends Jett hosts a Mystery Fest at her Valhalla Castle, attracting mystery enthusiasts worldwide. The event quickly turns sinister when a British MP is found murdered, initiating a series of deadly events that plunge the gathering into chaos. Amidst the opulence, a séance led by renowned author Lady Amelia Ainsworth uncovers disturbing secrets, casting suspicion on the distinguished guests. As the body count rises, Jett, equipped with her keen intuition and a connection to the spirit world, is forced to navigate a complex maze of deceit to uncover the killer. Publisher’s Note: The Jettine Jorgensen Mystery Box Set features the first three books in a series of suspenseful mysteries with baffling crimes that lead three female sleuths to surprising discoveries and shocking resolutions. Readers who enjoy clean and wholesome entertainment with a touch of humor, romance, and paranormal will not want to miss this exciting series. The Jettine Jorgensen Mystery Series Dead Silent Dropped Dead Dead Ends Dead Reckoning About the Author: A trailblazer in aviation, Sharon shattered the glass ceiling as US Airways' first female pilot new hire in 1980, a time when women pilots constituted less than 0.5% of the global total.

Sharon skillfully piloted an array of aircraft, including Boeing 727s and 737s, DC-9s, and BAC 1-11s, ascending to the rank of captain in just seven years. Her journey into aviation was preceded by a glamorous stint as a water-sports and boating model, followed by globetrotting adventures as a flight attendant for Pan American World Airways. Sharon's passion for flying extends to piloting antique and experimental aircraft, as well as third-world fighter airplanes.

I have always loved him. Though that love has evolved, metamorphosed, transmuted over time (and sometimes it felt a little—maybe a lot—like hate), what hasn’t ever changed is that I love him. But I didn’t comprehend the depth of my love, the teeth and claws and desperate prayers of my love, until six hours ago: They say he’s missing… The Royal Zodiac—me and my inner circle—hasn’t been complete these past two years since the attack. Every time we get close to a potential candidate to recruit into our ranks, they disappear, the most likely scenario being that Medusa and her minions got to them first. And now she has Dalair. I won’t rest until I get him back. My name is Sophia Victoria St. James. I am Queen of the Pure Ones. This is my Awakening.
