Biloxi Sunrise by Jerri Ledford is available on Kindle for just 99 cents.
Description:
He hadn’t protected them.
When Homicide Special Investigator Jack Roe’s daughter is killed in an auto accident and his wife dies from a drug overdose, he abandons a promising career as a Military Police Officer. If only he’d been there when they needed him, he could have saved them both.
He didn’t protect her.
Six years later, Jack is in Biloxi, Mississippi to be close to his sister and her daughter, Lisa. As long as he’s around, nothing can happen to them. But then he’s called to the hospital in the middle of the night and learns that Lisa has been abused by her mother’s boyfriend. Jack must confront old wounds that never healed, and a burning anger that’s been buried for far too long.
She can’t protect him.
The same night, a woman’s body turns up on the beach. A few days later, so does another one. Jack must deal with his past and his present while he and his partner, Kate Giveans, race to find a killer before another woman dies. But Kate harbors a secret that just might get Jack killed.

From the Reviewers:
"Wow! I've read a few other self-published authors, & even novels from small publishing companies (& even larger pub companies). They can't compare to this story--I'm a very picky reader & wouldn't say this if it weren't true. Biloxi Sunrise is quality from page 1 to the end and I will definitely recommend it to others. I much preferred this book to most other suspense offered in the CBA, especially those written by women. They're usually too mushy for me, too focused on unrealistic romance. Biloxi had the perfect blend. Congratulations on putting together an amazing story!"

"This is a real page turner! I read it in three days. Since I lived in Biloxi 20 years ago, I recognized a great job on the setting. The author also brings the characters to life and keeps the mystery moving at a fast pace. More than just a mystery, we delve deeply into the detective's thoughts and family issues and his past. Very compelling! Let's hope for a next book soon."
