Book Description
Follow The Clues In These 3 Gripping Mysteries Her sister's unsolved murder drives her to investigate crimes where police come up short. But are some truths too dangerous to uncover? Driven by a tragic unsolved murder in her family's past, lawyer Quille C. Davis investigates crimes the police can’t solve or refuse to look into. This box set includes the first three Q.C. Davis mysteries: The Worried Man (Q.C. Davis Mystery 1) Quille looks forward to growing her Chicago law firm and living with the man of her dreams. But the buried heartache from her sister’s unsolved murder comes flooding back when she finds her lover dead. Driven by a lingering mistrust of the police and convinced their finding of suicide is wrong, she vows to uncover the truth no matter what. With the help of her late boyfriend’s teenage son, Quille follows the clues into a tangled web of malpractice suits and scandalous business dealings. But the deeper she digs into the man’s past, the more she fears someone wants her silenced. Can Quille catch a killer and clear her beloved’s name before she becomes the next victim? The Charming Man (Q.C. Davis Mystery 2) Quille still grieves the death of the man she loved, but can't refuse when a friend who is like a mother to her begs for help. As a blizzard rages, Quille agrees to search for a missing college girl. The quest takes her to an isolated apartment complex where she questions the girl's neighbors. When one is found dead soon after, fears for the missing young woman escalate. Cut off from authorities by the worst snowstorm in the city's history, Quille knows time is running out. Then the power goes down and the body count rises. Determined to protect those trapped inside with her, Quille follows the clues, desperate to find the missing girl before the killer does. And before anyone else ends up dead. The Fractured Man (Q.C. Davis Mystery 3) Quille gets a desperate midnight call from long-lost childhood friend Caleb. The two grew up together, but he disappeared from her life for reasons she's never understood. Now he needs her. His boss is dead, and he's the prime suspect. Afraid the police have made up their minds, Caleb asks Quille to go undercover to investigate his mysterious employer, Seminar. Seminar says it’s a self-improvement company…or is it a cult? The more she delves into Seminar and gets to know its charismatic founder, the more danger Quille stirs up. And the more Seminar's hold on her friend worries her. With no one to trust, even Caleb, can Quille discover the killer before she becomes the next victim? If you like crime novels, clever female detectives, and life-and-death stakes, then you’ll love the Q.C. Davis mysteries. Get the first 3 Q.C.

Can She Free A Wrongly Imprisoned Man? Or Is She Risking Her Life To Save A Killer? "...one of the best Chicago mysteries....If you are a fan of a mystery that is devoid of literary clichés and presents a solid puzzle that needs to be solved posthaste, this Q.C. Davis mystery, The Troubled Man, has got to be on your list." - Windy City Reviews The last time Chicago lawyer Quille C. Davis investigated a crime as a favor, it destroyed a friendship. But Quille can't bring herself to say no when a desperate teenage girl begs for help exonerating her father, in jail for murder. Prosecutors say the man poisoned his victim - the girl’s mother. But the girl remains steadfast in her belief in her father’s innocence, and relentless in her search to find the real killer. No one Quille talks to was fond of the murdered woman: her older daughter left for college and never looked back, her best friend stopped speaking to her after a big fight, and the woman herself was on the brink of divorce. The only warm feelings the victim had were for her Doberman, a rescue dog who frightens friends and strangers alike. Yet Quille finds it difficult to uncover a motive for murder. There simply are no clear suspects. Except, that is, for the girl’s father, whose trial date looms ever closer. The more Quille follows the clues, the more she fears the only answer may be the one the girl least wants to hear. Can she discover the truth before it’s too late? The Troubled Man is the fourth book in the Q.C. Davis Mystery series, and it also stands alone.
