The Cult of the Blue Parrot (The Tall Trees Trilogy) (Volume 1)

Reclusive superstar, Sarah Eastin, has spent her entire life hiding in plain sight. Alexander Gregory, former jewel thief and con artist is now a music mogul and kingmaker. His entire career change was built on discovering and managing the young Sarah Eastin. Thirteen years ago, after the brutal murder of her brother, he and his father found Sarah on their doorstep, shivering, wet, and frightened beyond speech. The then seven-year old child did not speak at all for a year. She had still never spoken of what happened, her past, her fears. Since the death of his father, this talented and tortured young woman is now his sole responsibility, and he has no idea what to do. Will his love be enough to save her from the past that still haunts her? Fate intervenes one night when Sarah is attacked by two crazed men, narrowly escaping serious injury. The only clues to the mysterious attackers are their blue parrot tattoos. Lt. Martin Stone, the cop assigned to the case, and Alexander are set on a collision course almost immediately when it becomes apparent Stone and Sarah have met before. Stone knows Sarah well, knows her past, knew her brother. But Alexander is frustrated; Stone is even more close-mouthed than Sarah. What dark secret are they hiding? What is the menace behind the cult of the blue parrot?
