About this ebook

It’s Oscar night in Hollywood, and after years of climbing the entertainment ladder, media darling Meredith Johansen has finally taken home a gold statue.

Across town, rookie Detective Patricia Norelli is working late with hopes of breaking through her own glass ceiling with a promotion in the LAPD.

Their paths unexpectedly collide when Johansen is discovered dead in her Bel Air home, only hours after Oscar night festivities ended. 

With a note but few clues, authorities rule it a suicide. Norelli’s instinct says murder—a hunch worth risking a pending promotion to prove otherwise.

When a long list of suspects emerges, she and partner Detective Stuart Brown find themselves entangled in a chaotic series of lies. Trying to find the real killer amidst a web of deception, Norelli & Brown lose ground when a key suspect turns up dead.

Before Brown can return from a short leave, Norelli gets too close to the truth and lands in the trap of a pathological killer. 

If you like Michael Connelly’s Harry Bosch and John Sanford's Lucas Davenport, you’ll enjoy David Temple’s Pat Norelli. 

About the author

I spent nearly 25 years of my professional broadcasting career working as a Morning Radio Host in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Detroit, Norfolk and Charlotte. I have also been lucky enough to craft a handsome career working as an actor in Television & Film. For my entire career, I have worked as a voiceover artist, acting as spokesperson for hundreds of clients and for literally thousands of products and services around the world.

For many years, I dabbled in making short films, until one day I decided to take my very first self-published book, Discovering Grace, and turn it into a screenplayAfter raising all funding, and hiring all the crew, I was lucky enough to turn my dream into the award-winning independent film, Chasing Grace. It sold quickly to Word Entertainment, and can now be seen on a number of streaming services like: Netflix, AmazonPrime and Pureflix, and in 119 countries around the world.

Now, in what I call my “Chapter Three,” I am fortunate to be writing thrillers full-time. My Carter Matheson Thriller Series features a retired special ops assassin who is hired by a covert government group to solve problems; as a hunter, he hunts bad men. The series includes: Lucky Strikes, Behind The 8 Ball, and Knuckle Down.

My latest character is Detective Pat Norelli, a rookie detective with beauty, brains and the ballsy attitude to solve any case. The Poser is now available everywhere. The sequel, The Impostor, will arrive in early 2021. Also, if you enjoy psychological thrillers, look for my novel, Devour, to release later this year.

My wife Tammy and I live with our Carolina Dog, Dexter, just outside San Diego. Learn more: DavidTempleBooks.com
