Dead Ahead

Jo Spence Mystery #3

by Jen Wright

For Probation Officer Jo Spence, spring in the northland means firing up her motorcycle and enjoying the speed and exhilaration of her favorite pastime. Though an unsettling dream warns of approaching death, she shakes off the premonition. Only after a stalker grows ever more bold and threatening does Jo understand the mounting danger to herself and to her lover Zoey. Which unsavory character from Jo's work life is responsible, and will she give up her career to save the life she loves with Zoey and her friends? The police prove to be inept at capturing the voyeur/stalker, and Jo must take matters into her own hands if she wants her nightmare to end. Jo finds herself on a collision course with crisis in "Dead Ahead."

Great.

I really enjoyed Dead Ahead. For a ‘mere’ Probation Officer, Jo sure lives an exciting life. A great continuation of the series.
