ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date June 2, 2015

Carter Mays’ newest client, Dana Carrington, has been given a year to live. Her prognosis didn’t come from a medical professional, but rather the handsome, charming man she met while on a business trip. After an evening with charismatic stranger, Mike Sweeney, filled with potential and intrigue, things quickly deteriorate into the most frightening and traumatic experience of Dana’s life.

Presented as an opportunity to be envied, Sweeney instructs Dana to spend the next year living life to the fullest, pursuing every extraordinary opportunity she ever dreamt about. When the year is up, Mike intends to reconvene for a romantic evening that will end with Dana’s death. However, if Dana dares to contact law enforcement, her impending death will come much quicker and be far more brutal.

Paralyzed by fear of the seemingly ever-present Sweeney, Dana hires Carter to protect her and stop her psychopathic suitor.

••••••••••

Scheduled to Die is a wonderful mystery story with a delightful bit of romance on the side. This is the second in the Carter Mays Mystery series and it’s almost impossible to put down. By that I mean that I didn’t until it was about three in the morning and I was nodding. I actually had to come to a lull in the action before I could give up for the night.

Alan Cupp, the very talented author, has penned an exciting and masterfully written tale of terror. We get another chance to follow the handsome and fiercely honorable Carter Mays, PI in his latest case to help protect a lovely young lady who has been targeted by a sociopath and murderer. I don’t do spoilers, so I’ll just say this is a magnificently twisted and thrilling story.

The neatly chronicled detective work, mixed with expertly choreographed acts of terror and suspense take you on a thrilling ride through the absolute hell of a deranged mind. This story has so much fine and well documented action it leaves you practically breathless, but compelled to keep turning those pages.
Grab something bracing to fortify your nerves, maybe a few tissues and a nail file (for the damage your teeth will inflict on said nails) and get comfy for this exciting journey.

Enjoy, and don’t forget to breathe!
