BLURB:
STRINGS
OF GLASS is the fourth novel in Emily Kimelman's Sydney Rye Series of dark
murder mystery novels. This series features a strong female protagonist and her
rescue dog, Blue. It is recommended for the 18+ who enjoy some violence, don't
mind dirty language, and are up for a dash of sex. Not to mention an awesome,
rollicking good mystery!
Sydney
Rye is hanging out in India with her boyfriend, Dan, reading paperbacks and
sipping beer. No violence and no reminders of her past. But when she and Blue,
are attacked by a pact of wild dogs, Sydney starts to feel that old itch again;
to do good by being bad.
Trouble
finds Rye when she stops the attempted rape and murder of Anita, a reporter
working on a story of corruption and human trafficking. The atrocities Anita
describes send Sydney, Blue and Dan on a quest that takes them across India
after a dangerous and, up until now, untouchable, figure. While Sydney
struggles to accept her true nature she realizes that it is the only way to end
decades of abuse and exploitation. But Rye fears that she will lose herself,
becoming no better than the monster she fights against.

Excerpt
Mulberry
laughed. "Come on, what are you doing here?"
"What do
you mean? I'm living here."
"I can
see that," he said, then looked around the cabin. I saw his jaw clench and
then he asked quietly, "With Dan?"
"Yes,
with Dan."
"And
that's what you want to do?" He looked over at me again, glints of yellow
in his eyes sparkled in the sunlight that streamed through a nearby window.
"What do
you mean?"
"You
want to stay here, not have any more adventures with me?"
"Your
adventures usually involve Bobby Maxim, lies, and almost getting me
killed," I said, an edge of anger in my voice.
Mulberry
frowned. "What are you going to do?" He stood up and stepped toward
me, his broad shoulders blocking out the sun's rays. "Stay here and marry
Dan? Become a homemaker?" I felt anger rolling off of him like a wave of
heat surges over blacktop in the desert.
His rage
struck me like an unexpected blow and I yelled at him. "Why not Mulberry?
Why wouldn't I marry Dan? Because that might make me happy. Shouldn't I be
happy!"
His face
paled and he shrunk away from me. I felt like a bull, huffing air out my nose,
ready to charge. He shook his head. "I'm sorry, Sydney. Of course you
should be happy." The word seemed to die in his mouth. He ran a hand
through his dark hair, the silver that peppered it shining in the light.
I squeezed my
eyes shut and rubbed at them with my free hand. "God Mulberry, what are
you doing here?"
"I don't
know," he said, not looking at me. A moment passed as we stood there, the
steam from my shower and heat of our emotions filling the room with a wet and
heavy silence.
