SEELIE KAY (Cont.) SNATCHING DIANA BLURB EXCERPT The hours are counting down as investigators try to prove that Dianna Murphy has been snatched. Unfortunately, without wit- nesses and solid evidence, all the police really know is that she is missing. When suburban Milwaukee law student Dianna Mur- phy fails to connect with her roommate, there is no real evidence that she has been snatched. Until Law Professor Janet MacLachlan, a former covert agent, discovers a sin- gle clue, one that points to a taking by a slave trafficking cartel. In a race against time, Janet recruits her husband, secret agent Cade Matthews, small-town Police Chief David Manders and his wife, criminal defense attorney Julianna Constant, and other law students to uncover the truth. Can they prove she has been taken, before Dianna disappears without a trace? Dianna heard a man bark orders. A door to the van opened and someone pulled the rope from her feet, then removed her hood. She took a deep breath. A man grabbed her by the arm, forced to her feet, and pulled her from the van. Dianna stumbled when she hit the ground. The stones were hot, and her feet were covered by ath- letic socks, no shoes. Show no weakness. Dianna immediately surveyed her surroundings. It was still night, but she was in a well-lit courtyard. A large stone mansion stood in front of her. She looked to her right, then her left. The courtyard was enclosed by a large stone fence, at least eight feet high. A fortress. Fortu- nately, Dianna was a rock-climber. She could rappel over the fence with the right equipment…A knife, a screw- driver, even a fork. Keep your eyes and ears open. Be ready. A large black man, dressed in a white suit and a ma- roon turban, walked out of the front door and down the stairs. He stopped and flashed a malevolent smile. He flung his arms wide and in a cultured baritone boomed, “Welcome to paradise, ladies. I hope you enjoy your stay.” ***** Amazon Review by E.
