Kasia Radzka - Lethal Disposal #EggcerptExchange



Blurb -


Lexi Ryder vowed to never return to the Gold Coast, but after a desperate phone call from an old friend, she returns only to learn her friend is dead.


Was it murder or an accident?


Lexi finds herself embroiled in a game of politics, assassinations and secrets. A world where people are not who they seem.


Detective Matthew Ryan wants Lexi as far away as possible from him and the case. But Lexi knows too much. After a public assassination they discover that whoever is responsible is willing to go to great lengths to dispose of those who get in the way of their plans.


Is Lexi willing to risk her own life to seek the truth?


Money, status, and power. Some people will do anything to get it, others will do whatever it takes to keep it.




Excerpt -

He pushed her hard and she slammed into the wall of the building, the rugged bricks cutting her palms as she tried to protect herself from the impact. This couldn’t be the end. She turned to face her attacker. She didn’t recognise him. In the darkness she could just make out his features. He had a face that could easily get lost in a crowd, olive skin, a freckle beside his eye, and brown hair. It’s funny the details you notice when you face your killer.

            “I’ll give you whatever you want, please, take my keys, my wallet, there’s two hundred dollars in there, just don’t hurt me, please,” Lexi pleaded as he pushed her against the wall.

            He stared at her. No smile. No reaction. Then she noticed the glimmer of a gun in his hand.

            He pushed even closer until she felt his lips against her ear. “You’ve been asking too many questions.”

            Lexi squeezed her eyes shut and pushed him away with all the strength that she could muster as pain seared through her body. She kicked him but he grabbed her by the neck and pulled her towards him pressing the cold metal barrel against the flesh of her lower back. This was it. She was about to die. And all for nothing. She wondered if Dana had known she was going to die at the exact moment her car had veered off the road and slammed into the tree.
