Once Upon a Crime

Once upon a time, the Grimms' fairy tales taught lessons. Now, the Grimm Reaper does. New detective Chelsea Sullivan is partnered with a maverick famous for closing cases and infamous for how he does it. He has a target on his back and a chip on his shoulder. Not exactly how she hoped to kick off her first homicide case. Jim McPherson doesn't mind showing an up-and-comer the ropes, but he does mind when she keeps putting herself in harm's way. Especially since her innocence is exactly the trait the serial seems to be targeting. Unless they're missing a crucial detail. And he can't help but think his new partner knows what it is. He has no idea she fears her father might be the murderer. The body count is rising and the Grimm Reaper is after Chelsea. If they can't catch him before he catches her, there will be no happily ever after. Once Upon A Crime is the first book in Nolon King's new Once Upon A Crime Trilogy.

For readers of Stephanie Bond and Darynda Jones, fairy tales as you've never seen them before. The debut in a series that mixes suspense, sex, and just a sprinkle of fairy dust. Once Upon a Crime... Melanie wants to get incriminating information on her evil stepfather and she'll get it — even if it means giving in to an odious toad's demands. Cole is undercover, and when the opportunity arises for him to get closer to the criminal he's investigating using the man's beautiful stepdaughter, he grabs it. Esmerelda is a Fairy Godmother Enforcer charged with getting the Frog Prince fairytale back on track. But fate has saddled her with a partner, and Rumpelstiltskin — with his sexy bad boy swagger — has a hidden agenda of his own. In the Fairy Isle, nothing is as it seems...

When he was a child, they erased all record of him from the world. Now he's returning the favor. Jim McPherson grew up with the proverbial silver spoon in his mouth, but he gave it all up for the simple life of a police detective. He thought he'd get some distance from his former jet-set friends, but a serial killer is targeting that exact demographic, and he fears his parents might be on the list. Chelsea Sullivan thought Jim trusted her, but lately, he's been building walls between them. And she thinks she's discovered why - he's ashamed she's not his social equal, embarrassed to be with her when they meet with his peers. Her biggest case yet, and now she's fighting him too. When a renowned psychiatrist tries to counsel them rather than offer assistance in the case, Chelsea and Jim uncover a secret society of powerful people involved in a litany of illegal activities. And if that isn't bad enough, a rogue agent in their wake. With such widespread corruption, they don't know where to turn or who to trust. How can two at-odds detectives stop one driven serial killer when even the most connected men in the city cower in his wake? Twice Upon A Lie is the second book in Nolon King's new Once Upon A Crime Trilogy. Start reading your favorite new series today!

Neither of them is aware that there's more going on than a rocky client—practitioner relationship.
