In Jason Pinter's second novel in the Rachel Marin thriller series, A STRANGER AT THE DOOR, Pinter has given Rachel a unique skill set: she has an uncanny ability to see clues that crime scene investigators may miss, making her a much-needed asset by her town's understaffed homicide detectives, including her love interest, John Serrano.
She's also a lethal killer.
This gives her leeway to do things that may be considered skirting the law.
It also makes her one kick-ass helicopter mom.
When danger lands on Rachel's doorstep with the threat of harming her young family, she has a vested interest in solving the heinous murder of a local high school teacher, Matthew Linklater—he was brutally murdered before his home was set afire.
Solving the beloved teacher's death becomes imperative, especially when it turns out that some of her son Eric's classmates may be involved.
Jason and I discuss how he came up with the plot, and how being a parent helped him create the empathy needed to let loose the Tiger Mom in his intrepid protagonist.
A STRANGER AT THE DOOR is in Amazon. You can also purchase it at your local bookstore.
