The Rise of the Red Queen (The Red Solaris Mysteries #2)
by Bourne Morris“With The Rise of the Red Queen, Bourne Morris is poised to become the queen of academic mysteries and suspense” (Gigi Pandian, USA Today–bestselling author). A beautiful student is missing. Did she leave on impulse, or was it something more sinister? When the young woman’s grandfather pleads for help, journalism dean Meredith “Red” Solaris agrees to help search for the student, but doesn’t know she may have to risk everything to find her. Worse yet, without solid evidence, Red and Detective Joe Morgan have little basis for investigation. Murky university politics—and Red’s own struggle to keep her job—thwart efforts to find a girl held captive by a man willing to steal what he cannot win. “Red Solaris is intelligent, tough, and vulnerable, a tricky combination to pull off, yet Bourne Morris does so beautifully and has given us a lead character we care deeply about. The Rise of the Red Queen, second in the series, grabs you by the throat and the heart on page one and never lets go.” —Annette Dashofy, USA Today–bestselling author of the Zoe Chambers Mysteries “Intriguing characters, a complex, inventive plot with nail-biting suspense—I finished it at two in the morning!” —Jeanne M. Dams, author of the Dorothy Martin Mysteries
