After living several years in Chicago, Kyle Shannon decides to find a new job and a new life in Lake County. While on a temp assignment at Choice Manufacturing, she learns that some people will do anything to get what they want. And sometimes what they want already belongs to someone else. After a county politician is found dead in a forest preserve and a tragic fire clears the way for a large construction project, Kyle examines what she thinks she knows about the people she now considers friends. One of them is a killer.Kyle Shannon earns a living as a temporary. Her assignments take her into many different situations but they all have one thing in common - murder.
Linda Mickey was so mad at her boss, she killed him. On paper. That first late night at the keyboard took her from mystery reader to mystery writer.
Like her protagonist Kyle Shannon, Linda Mickey was employed by a staffing agency. After a career in which she saw everything from knife-toting secretaries to drunken vice presidents, Mickey had plenty of motive to write a mystery series featuring a temporary office worker.
In her non-fiction work, she helps writers understand the business side of their creative endeavor.
She is currently employed as the office manager of a small accounting firm, dividing her time between tax returns and murder.
