Flash Point
by Metsy Hingle

SHE OPENED THE DOOR TO HER PAST...

A successful and sought-after New York photographer, Kelly Santos has no intention of ever returning to New Orleans-the city that holds so many sad memories for her. But her plans suddenly change when she receives word that the nun who was her childhood mentor is dead.

...AND WALKED INTO A NIGHTMARE.

From the moment Kelly returns to New Orleans she is plagued by visions of murder. But the N.O.P.D. will not take her seriously-not until a man turns up dead- -and now Kelly is the prime suspect. Seeking the help of her old friend, homicide detective Jack Callahan, Kelly must prove her innocence-but to do so, she must face the mystery surrounding her past and the long-ago fire that continues to haunt her dreams.

Would she be the next to die?

Nearby, someone is watching Kelly . . . someone who is determined to keep the truth hidden . . . someone who will kill again to ensure that the past stays dead and buried.



Metsy Hingle's Bio

Award-winning, best-selling author Metsy Hingle says writing romance novels seemed a perfect career choice for her since she grew up in one of the world's most romantic cities -- New Orleans. "I'm a true romantic who believes there's nothing more powerful or empowering than the love between a man and a woman. That's why I enjoy writing about people who face life's challenges and triumph with laughter and love."

Dubbed by Romantic Times as " . . . destined to be a major voice in series romance," Metsy has gone on to make that prediction a reality, with her books frequently appearing on national bestseller lists and garnering awards--among them the R.W.A.'s prestigious Golden Heart Award, and both a W.I.S.H. Award and a nomination for Best Silhouette Desire by Romantic Times Magazine.

Known for creating powerful, passionate stories and characters, Metsy's books are among readers' favorites, and with good reason claims New York Times best-selling author Sandra Brown who says, "Metsy Hingle delivers hot sex, humor and heart . . . everything a reader could wish for!"

As much as Metsy loves being an author, it's her role as wife and mother that she holds most dear. Recently she turned in her business suits and fast-paced life in the hotel and public relations arena to pursue writing full time. According to Metsy one of the greatest joys of being an author is hearing from fans. She would love to hear from you. E-mail Metsy at [email protected], or write to Metsy at P.O.
