UNLEASHED
(A Sydney Rye Novel, #1)
When
the series begins Sydney Rye is named Joy Humbolt. She does not like people
telling her what to do, so it comes as no surprise that she was just fired from
her last job. When she buys Charlene Miller's dog-walking business on
Manhattan's exclusive upper east side, it seems like the perfect fit: Quiet
environment, minimal contact with people.
But
then one of her clients turns up dead, and Charlene disappears. Rumors say
Charlene was having an affair with the victim--and of course, everyone assumes
Joy must know where she is. Joy begins to look into the crime, first out of
curiosity then out of anger when there is another murder and threats start to
come her way.
When
police detective Mulberry is assigned to the case, Joy finds a kindred
spirit--cynical and none-too-fond of the human race. As they dig deep into the
secrets of Manhattan's elite, they not only get closer to the killer but also
to a point of no return. One last murder sends Joy Humbolt hurtling over the
edge. Her only chance of survival is to become Sydney Rye.
DEATH IN
THE DARK (A Sydney Rye Novella, #2)
At
the beginning of Death in the Dark we find Joy Humbolt hiding, not only from
the law, but also from her past and the mistakes she's made. Living this
isolated life doesn't last long though when a visit from Mulberry brings Joy to
accept her new identity as the Private Detective, Sydney Rye. To complete the
transformation, Joy must learn to control her emotions as well as her giant
aggressive dog, Blue. With the help of an expert trainer, Joy learns to fight
with her mind as well as her body. However, when the daughter of a close friend
is brutally murdered in the desert, Rye turns away from her mentor to seek
revenge. Sydney's quick temper and deadly intentions lead her into a trap that
she will need all of her new skills to survive.
INSATIABLE
(A Sydney Rye Novel, #3)
The
third book in the series begins with private detective Sydney Rye living a
simple, disciplined life in London, but when a dangerous man from her past
calls, Rye finds she cannot turn him away. Robert Maxim explains that the
daughter of a powerful friend has gone missing and he wants Rye to find her. In
exchange he offers her something she had given up hope of ever having; freedom
from her past.
With
her dog, Blue, at her side, Rye meets up with her new partner, a handsome man
she's not sure she can trust. Heading for Mexico City, they go undercover,
posing as husband and wife. After meeting with the bereaved parents, Rye starts
to sense that there is more going on than just a missing girl. But it isn't
until they arrive in the Yucatan Peninsula, hot on the girl's trail in
Paradise, that all hell breaks loose. Sydney has to reach out for help from old
friends and deal with the consequences of her past, if she's going to find the
girl and keep them all alive.

Rye Series of dark murder mystery novels. This series features a strong female
protagonist and her rescue dog, Blue. It is recommended for the 18+ who enjoy

Sydney Rye is hanging out in India with her boyfriend, Dan,
reading paperbacks and sipping beer. No violence and no reminders of her past.
But when she and Blue, are attacked by a pact of wild dogs, Sydney starts to
feel that old itch again; to do good by being bad.
AN EXCERPT
I
packed the few items of clothing I had and put a leash on Blue. I picked up a
bottle of tequila at the liquor store and then hopped on the subway acting like
it was legal to bring a giant dog on the train.
Halfway
there I opened the bottle of tequila and took a painful swig. A child watched
me with big, glistening eyes. Her mother, without looking at me, distracted him
with a colorful stuffed toy that had lots of legs.
I
stumbled on the steps on my way out of the subway, scraping my knee on the
filthy cement. Blue whined and licked my face. I picked myself up and walked to
the Excelsior. The man behind the desk didn’t move as I walked by him to the
elevator.
Once
in my room I placed the bottle of tequila on the coffee table. I pulled my gun
out of my bag and put it next to the tequila. I found my bullets and spilled
them onto the coffee table. A couple of them rolled onto the floor. They were
gold and pretty looking. I ran my hands over their smooth surfaces, pushing
them around.
