Synopsis

First Chance is a suspenseful thriller that readers won’t be able to put down—perfect for fans of Sue Grafton and Michael Connelly.Chance Kirby isn’t new to detective work, but starting over in Hopeful, Texas, is a big step. Determined to leave behind her father and stepmother’s shadow and carve out a future of her own, she opens a small PI agency, expecting missing heirlooms and marital disputes. But when the cold case of a murdered teenage girl is dropped on her doorstep, Chance finds herself in the middle of an investigation with no leads.With her adopted sister Tia, her loyal dog Sissy, and the town’s newly arrived police chief Isabella Lopez at her side, Chance soon begins to suspect this murder may be only one piece of a much bigger, and more disturbing, pattern.To stop a predator who, it seems, has managed to evade authorities for decades, Chance must stay one step ahead … or risk becoming the next target.

Quotes

“An absolute winner! It’s rare that a thriller offers up a tale with such a page-turning, edge-of-the-seat plot that also grips your heart so tightly, but First Chance does just that, and then some! There’re thrills, laughs, and even a few tears. (And who doesn’t just love a German shepherd named Sissy?) Bravo!” Jeffery Deaver, internationally bestselling author of The Bone Collector and South of Nowhere

“First Chance is a remarkable slice of Texas noir. As comfortable as your favorite pair of jeans, as quirky as a box of spiders, and as deadly as a shotgun filled with nails. Kasey Lansdale clearly loves her characters. I enjoyed the hell out of it.” Del Howison, award-winning author

“Vibrant, full-of-life characters and a mystery full of dark surprises kept me invested until the very end. I want more! Kasey Lansdale has my attention.” Sadie Hartmann (aka Mother Horror), author of 101 Horror Books to Read Before You’re Murdered

“Much will be made in the coming months and years of Kasey Lansdale’s ability to channel the voice of her father, Champion Mojo Storyteller Joe R. Lansdale. What’s much more important is all the ways that Kasey is her own writer, and that her creation, Chance Kirby, is her own woman. Chance delivers mojo without the macho, more Kinsey Millhone than Hap Collins. Her compassion and vulnerability keep the reader hooked as the twisty plot unfolds. A full cast of eccentrics makes Hopeful, Texas, a destination I can’t wait to get back to.” Lewis Shiner, author of Glimpses and Black & White
