A text message hits Seattle Patrol Officer Kel Nyte's phone with a serious threat. Even though she has no authority to investigate a hangnail, she decides to probe the first crime scene off-duty, and falls right into a murderer's plans. Prodded into the pursuit at the business end of a stun gun, anger and humiliation aren't enough to perform an investigation of this scale.On the case, she's partnered with a seasoned detective, but with his stay-the-hell-out-of-my-way arrogance, Kel is forced to investigate on her own. She combs through poetic riddles, and the lesson plans the murderer leaves at each scene. They not only give insight to his motive, but drive her investigation deep into a layered labyrinth of secrets from her father's furtive past and corruption. Dirk, a Police Chief forced to retire due to his terminal illness, has only three months to live, but secrets the murderer reveals about Kel's dad threaten to tear their relationship apart. Just when she suspects her dad is the prime suspect, the murderer's next clues include death threats to her fourteen year-old daughter. Now with a gnat's-breath of time on his clock, no matter what the cost, Kel must find both the killer and the means to stop his rampage before he executes one final lesson.

Jearl has the ability to tempt you with riddles that will have you guessing far into the night. Want to lay there in the darkness, afraid of the nightmares that may probe your mind while you sleep? That’s exactly what you’ll find in Presumed Dead, a thriller that follows Kel Nyte, a Seattle patrol office, as she tries to unravel a baffling crime that is suddenly touching her past and threatening her family.It all begins with a text, with a riddle. The words are haunting and mysterious. “First the one who owes so much. Final payment by my touch. Breath of life fails to draw in. Pillow talk, my lethal sin.” What does it mean? And who would send such a poetic riddle? Jearl Rugh writes: “Her bowels cinched tight as a braided rope. A sudden reflex drew her hands to her face. They slipped over a halting breath, but her eyes stayed fixed on the lines. She couldn’t tear away from the simply rhyme she knew prophesied a future she couldn’t accept. Then a dark dread, icy and resolute, slithered into her mind. My God, he’s here?”On her nightly patrol, Kel Nyte responds to the call and happens to be the first officer to arrive at the murder scene. A woman is dead. The riddle is there for all to find. And Kel is immediately stricken by the fact that the rhyme pattern is oddly similar to the strange poetic puzzles she, too, has been receiving. Is she the next victim. Was there any connection between Kel and the dead woman? Were their lives or their pasts intertwined? Who would want to murder them, and when will the killing stop? Or will it ever stop?Seattle is caught in the vicious web of a serial killer, one who leaves a riddle at the crime scene of each victim. Kel is not allowed of officially investigate the crime, but nothing can stop her from tracking down clues on her own time. Her father is dying, but she fears he may know more than he’s telling her about the murderous rampage? The again, is the killer? Kel is afraid he might be. None of it makes sense for her, and Kel feels she is being slowly drawn into an abyss from which there is no escape. The last riddle she receives threatens her daughter, and Kel will do whatever it takes to probe the mysteries of the night until she finds his identity and puts an end to his killing spree.Jearl Rugh writes tough yet lyrical prose in the style of Raymond Chandler and John D. McDonald. He brings you inside the story and lets you experience the same trials, tribulations, fears, and triumphs confronted by his characters. Jearl Rugh is definitely a novelist making an impact on the mystery/thriller scene.

This has the feel of some of those terrible crime shows, except without the terrible. I like the riddle part of the mystery, and the personal nature of it. Good book!
