A simple job is about to turn deadly . . .

Former federal agent Alexis Parker is tired of death, destruction, and mayhem. She wants to forget her past and focus on the present. She has a new gig guarding a priceless piece of art and a promising future with James Martin, but when she runs into an old friend while working in Paris, her new life comes crashing to an end.

Armed thugs, stolen art, and a bag of cash are just the tip of the iceberg. The painting is a fake, and the insurance firm blames Alex for the theft. But the real thief is out there. And he’s not just a thief. He’s a killer. He knows who she is, who she was, and the damage she could cause his operation. He won’t let her survive, but first, he wants to play.

Everything’s connected, so Alex doesn’t know where to turn or who to trust. The line between friend and foe has blurred, but one wrong step could cost her everything. How much will she sacrifice to stop a sadistic killer from escaping?

Audiobook cover of a woman dressed in black and holding a gun in her right hand. She is standing on a pier facing a yacht in the background, shadowed in the dark blue light at dusk. Text: MIMICRY OF BANSHEES An Alexis Parker Novel, G.K. Parks, Read by Amy Deuchler, RB Media, Tantor Media So. . . P.I. Alexis Parker just solved a third crime. Listen to her tell how in the audiobook for G.K. Parks’ MIMICRY OF BANSHEES! 😎🕵️‍

In this one, Alexis deals with:

☑️ brains and beauty
☑️ sarcasm and stilettos
☑️ yachts and supermodels

Thank you, Tantor Audio!

From the Publisher:

Brains, beauty, and a past plagued with death and destruction, Alexis Parker is anything but ordinary. Her deductive skills and expert marksmanship make her deadly, but she must contend with her demons in order to overcome the irreparable damage she’s endured.

Ever since meeting James Martin, Alex’s life has never been the same. The former federal agent turned private investigator has faced off against mercenaries, deranged crime lords, and art smugglers, and that’s just what’s happened since taking a job in the private sector. After the most recent brush with death, Alex is reconsidering her work as a private security consultant, but the universe has other plans.

Martin has been arrested for the murder of supermodel Caterina Skolnick. The body was found on his yacht, and he was the only person onboard. Now Alex is once again rehired by her former boss to clear his name and identify the assailant. Her stellar reputation and Martin’s affluence, coupled with the threat of a lawsuit, force the police department to enlist her help in resolving this matter. Furthermore, she’s a size two, and they need her to infiltrate the salacious world of modeling, armed only with sarcasm and stilettos.

Her worlds collide when her corporate gig at Martin Technologies, her consulting position with the local PD, and her almost relationship with Martin blend together in a maelstrom of drugs, sex, and security overhauls. What’s a girl to do when the boundaries between her private life and her work life no longer exist?

MIMICRY OF BANSHEES is available wherever audiobooks are sold, like Audible, Amazon, Libro.fm, and Chirp.

From the Publisher:

I quit my job. I walked away from everything I knew. I couldn’t lose anyone else. Not again. Working for James Martin wasn’t supposed to be complicated or lethal. Too bad someone wanted him dead, and I was the only thing standing in the way.

When eccentric playboy CEO James Martin’s life is threatened, he decides to hire Alexis Parker, an attractive, feisty, former federal agent, to be his new security consultant and personal bodyguard. As Alex attempts to navigate the minefield of potential suspects, she discovers an underlying conspiracy that has been brewing at Martin Technologies for almost half a decade. Anyone could be involved, making Martin’s closest friends, acquaintances, and employees possible suspects.

What starts out as a single death threat quickly morphs into a plot to overtake his entire company. Once the pieces fall into place, things explode, both literally and figuratively. This outwardly simple case is something neither Alex nor Martin ever imagined. It will take all of Alex’s training and instincts to track down the criminal mastermind and stop the assassination plot before it’s too late, and even that may not be enough.
