     FATAL DESIGNS, A PATRICK MACKENNA MYSTERY,ARRIVES SOON
    The final edit is proceeding with L & L Dreamspell, London, TX, publishers, for the
    release of Fatal Designs, the second in the Patrick MacKenna Mystery, series,
    about a St. Louis architect-amateur sleuth's challenges and perils.

    When an earth tremor causes an avalanche, roils the river and separates
    seventeen-year-old Erin MacKenna's group  from the main party, she and a
    younger girl from the inner city witness the burial of a murder victim and are
    kidnapped by the perpetrators. Crushed at the disappearance of his daughter, her
    father, architect and amateur sleuth Patrick MacKenna, must also scramble to
    protect his clients’ emergency response structures in a city threatened by a major
    earthquake.

    Despairing of ever seeing his daughter again, Patrick calls sexy Italian FBI
    Special Agent Bobbi Romano, his friend from a previous case, to examine crime
    scene evidence. She quickly concludes that Erin’s captors are the murderers of a
    Metro East mayor who sought to regulate the sex shops, prostitution and drug
    trade in his Illinois riverfront town. Fretting that his rebellious teen daughter will be
    enticed and fall victim to the sleazy glamor and the perceived freedom of the night
    clubs, he works frantically to set her free. To protect her own life Erin fights to
    escape and solve the case, but she is hampered by a secret she cannot even tell
    her father.
