Knife Edge Paperback – August 8, 2023

by Terri Maue (Author)
An unwitting columnist. A shocking death. A devious killer. Is Zee Morani tracking clues or playing a role orchestrated by a murderer? When Zee discovers the bloodied corpse of a disgraced medical researcher, the accused killer begs her for help. But Zee is not a cop. She's not even a PI. She's a regionally syndicated satirical columnist who dreams of breaking into serious journalism. Zee believes the suspect is guilty. After all, he staggered into her as he fled the scene of the crime. But she's made a career of challenging bureaucracy. The drive to defend the underdog, or at least give him a fair chance, pulses in her veins. Unfortunately, everything she learns only strengthens the police case. Even as the facts pile up against him, Zee's instincts argue for his innocence. Her friend Fontina's finely tuned intuition concurs. But while Fontina supports Zee's investigation, Rico, a seasoned crime reporter, balks at her intrusion in the case. Despite their recent breakup, he wants to protect Zee from the world of violence he knows all too well. He also wants to re-ignite their romance. Tempting as that is, Zee resists him, her heart shackled by the pain of past betrayals. They agree to work together as professional colleagues and friends, but it's an uneasy alliance. As Zee digs deeper into the murder, her involvement makes her a target. Her inexperience tempts her to back away from investigating, but her commitment to truth won't let her quit. When Rico suffers a vicious attack, her fury burns the last vestiges of fear. Gritting her teeth, she tackles a nasty thug, a suspicious police lieutenant, and in the end, the barrel of a gun-all to unmask a stone-hearted killer.

About the Author

Terri Maue has been in love with words for as long as she can remember. Even today, she's still awed by the fact that little black marks on a sheet of paper have the power to fill her mind with images, ideas, and emotions.Many of Terri's interests find their way into her stories. She holds a first-degree black belt in TaeKwon Do, much to her surprise, as she dislikes violence and never expected to enjoy kicking, punching, and breaking bricks. She is intrigued by psychic phenomena and all forms of spirituality, believing that everyone has access to realms beyond the physical and can enter altered states of consciousness-without drugs. Like her protagonist, she loves food, especially pastry. Fortunately, her husband, Eddie, is a good cook.Terri is a member of Sisters in Crime, Mystery Writers of America, and several local writers groups. She and Eddie are Ohio transplants who now live in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

After my first career writing award-winning publications for teachers, staff, and parents in the Cincinnati Public School District and my second career as an English professor, I retired to begin my third career as a writer.

My husband, Eddie, and I moved to Nevada from our beloved, but too cold and snowy, Midwest. Under my formal name (Theresa Maue), I self-published a slender book of short stories, Thoughtless, in 2017, just to get my feet wet and experience the thrill of seeing my fiction in print.

I am thrilled to have my first mystery novel, Knife Edge, published by Camel Press. Many of my interests find their way into the story. I have taught dream interpretation, have practiced meditation for decades, and have earned a first-degree black belt in TaeKwon Do.

I am a member of Sisters in Crime, Mystery Writers of America, Sin City Writers, and the Henderson (Nevada) Writers Group. I love all these fantastic people!
