Description
This volume contains Dead Ringer, Dead Heat, and Heroes & Hurricanes.
Dead Ringer
Jack and Jamie are called to a hundred-year-old murder scene where they find two skeletons, and one ghost?Patrick Kennedy.
Called to an excavation site in the subway tunnels under the city, Jack and Jamie meet Jamie's great-grand uncle who'd been murdered in nineteen twenty-one.
What do you do with a ghost who is suddenly a century in the future -who likes arguing with the TV?
"I think unnecessary drama should be a valid murder defense," Jamie replied. "I've tried to explain to him that the TV characters can't hear him, but he doesn't understand."
Cultural difference make things difficult, then throw in the fact he's family and Jamie's ready to strangle Patrick, if he wasn't already dead.
When a second case lands in their lap, with another ghost seeking justice, the complications add up.
A young woman is murdered in her home and the connections between the two cases are building with every new bit of information they find. Murder, arson, and stolen legacies from the 1920s are now relevant, a century later.
Power and politics are again behind the threats to Jack, Jamie, and the people they love. Will they be able to right a century-old wrong and still get justice for a current crime?

Dead Heat
When the team is called to a scene outside the high school with multiple deaths, they knew it was going to be bad.
Tyler is the cousin of their Lieutenant's new wife, and a veteran with PTSD. He tries to tell them a ghost made him do it.
"The ghost made him do it," Jamie muttered. "Yeah, this doesn't sound good at all."
In a race against time, Jack, Jamie, and Mike are in a dead heat between the living and the ghosts.
Local legends speak of the 'shadow man', a dark shadow of a man with glowing red eyes. Some say it's the ghost of a pirate from the 1800s, others call it a demon, but the newest ghosts know it's what killed them ? and it's nothing good.
The dead are piling up and they're going to have to work with the Watchers to stop a serial killer ghost.
As more mass casualty events happen all over the city, with no logical connection, panic and fear take over. There's only one connection ? the shadow man ? and it's not one they can release to the public and still be taken seriously.
The race against time is a dead heat between the team and the entity?and there's no guarantee the team will win.

Heroes & Hurricanes
Elise Kennedy had just sent the last child off to college and, at forty-four, planned on luxuriating in the freedom of a life where she was no longer responsible for anyone's schedule but her own. Divorced from Detective Jameson Kennedy of the Harbor, Massachusetts police ? Elise is unattached, self-sufficient, and self-employed. She looked forward to a slower pace of life.
Living in the Florida Keys, she was already in an area that welcomed a more relaxed lifestyle. Then an enemy of her detective ex-husband decides to terrorize her just as Hurricane Delta is about to make landfall.
Is Elise going to be able to trust another cop enough to let him in to save her life ? and maybe save her heart?

Person
Bestselling author TK Eldridge retired from a career in Intelligence for the US Gov't to write. The experiences from then are now being used to feed the muse for romance, mysteries-thrillers, supernatural, paranormal, and whatever else captures their imagination.
TK Eldridge writes about all kinds of people because it is our variety as humans that makes us fascinating. Their hope is to encourage people to see the world differently through the character's eyes, and through the character's journey.
When they're not writing, they are enjoying life in the Blue Ridge mountains of western North Carolina. A pack of dogs, a garden, a craft hobby and a love of Celtic Traditional music keep them from spending too much time at the computer.
