Scene of the Crime by Jennifer Chase
About Scene of the Crime by Jennifer Chase
A calculating cold-blooded predator closes in…
When a community has barely recovered from a ruthless serial killer six months earlier; now two more horrifying murders hit the radar again. It leaves police burdened with two of the most shockingly contaminated crime scenes ever documented in California’s law enforcement history. The Slayer works behind the scenes as a sinister puppet master, precisely pulling the strings, taunting the police without leaving any viable evidence, and orchestrating his killer hit squads.
The sheriff and district attorney bring in the best investigators. Reunited again, Dr. Chip Palmer, a reclusive forensic expert, joins DA Inspector Kate Rawlins to sort through the crime scene aftermath in search of the truth—all without a probable suspect or a solid motive. Complicating the investigation—sparks reignite between the two.
Ratcheting up the suspense, Chip suffers a nasty fall hitting his head, impairing his perception and giving him a mind-blowing ability for specific detailed recall. Palmer and Rawlins assemble an unusual team including a rookie detective, a forensic supervisor, and an ex-military operative turned bodyguard. After one of their own is kidnapped and the investigation is taken over by the FBI, the now rogue team must pull together their own resources—alone—with a killer waiting to take each one of them out. Scene of the Crime takes no prisoners and leaves everyone fighting to stay alive.

What do you get when you take a small Caribbean kid, transport him to a complicated and vibrant environment in the middle of Brooklyn, let him work in national politics in the U.S. Congress for a few years and then encourage him to write a book that’s reflective of the messy, funny and dramatic relationships he’s observed his entire life?
Well you get S.A. Sebastian and you get Sombristic.
As his first novel, Sombristic is a foray into the world of humorous but complicated romantic relationships and what happens when we play emotional games with those we love. But it’s also a reflection of the relationship dynamics Sebastian saw and observed growing up, from the always difficult relationship between his parents to the romantic struggles of older friends and relatives.
How does it work? How is it supposed to work? The question always stuck.
So he’s been discussing it, writing it and imagining it in different ways ever since.
Building on his experience doing stand-up comedy and writing a comedic pilot for a TV sitcom, Sombristic is Sebastian‘s first attempt to give voice to what he views as the new ground rules for dating in the millennial age and how that forces us to adapt to the games being played all around us.
After 10 years of applying his abilities to working on positive change in D.C., he now lives in Los Angeles, California as he pursues a writing and communications career.

Until my husband died on Christmas 2012, I never thought about becoming a writer. In fact, the act of writing a story terrified me. And writing dialogue scared the bejeebers out of me. Don’t get me wrong, I loved reading, just never had the knack for writing. See, Bob was the writer. He wrote stories for years but could never get a traditional publisher to even read one of his unpolished manuscripts/outlines. Then, after 30 years together, Bob passed away and my life was turned upside down.
About a month later, I was sitting around my apartment, trying to adjust to the worst event in my life, when a little voice spoke to me. Why not publish Bob’s stories? To be truthful, ever since the advent of self-publishing, I always wanted too, that’s how much I believed in his stories. But I knew I would have to fight him for every little change I made to his outlines. Sorry, honey, but they have to be done.
So, I pulled out the box of stories, dusted them off, and started on a new adventure: The World of Self-Publishing. Boy, did I have a lot to learn. I finally published several short stories early in 2014, then my horror novella, It Lives in the Basement. While I was working on them, I was slowly learning the craft of writing, and getting The Secret of Excalibur ready for publication. Excalibur was my favorite story of them all.
As of today, The Secret of Excalibur has earned two 5 star reviews from Readers’ Favorite and won 4th place in the Reader’s Favorite Awards in 2016. It has also earned the Amazon Bestseller Badge.
