Blue Lady's MISSION UNDER FIRE: The Angelica Mason Series, Book 3

THE MISSION changed. Her COVER is blown. With NOWHERE to run and NOWHERE to hide, what can she do to SURVIVE?


This time, two teenagers are killed in a small town in Upstate New York. Homicide is no stranger to the New York State Capitol. Instead of celebrating the 4th of July, another community vigil is held to commemorate the dead. As the murder rate spikes along with unseasonably warm temps, local police add a new case to the growing list of homicides. Community leaders call another meeting. But no one has any answers.

In Blue Lady’s MISSION under FIRE, Angelica Mason, AKA THE BLUE LADY, along with her faithful crony and sidekick Jonathan C. Jarewski (JaRew), face new challenges and stare down old demons as they join a federally funded demonstration project designed to study violence in small towns.

Blue Lady’s mentor, Dr. Beckham Johnson, researcher and recipient of the controversial project, conveniently forgets to tell Angelica that the feds eliminated the team she expected to lead. Instead, she and semi-street wise cohort, JaRew discover they are two of a cadre of six hand-picked street organizers expected to go underground.

When Angelica raises concerns about team member Dez Cooke's bottoms up approach, he argues his circle of street contacts will give him direct access to the community. Beckham supports Cooke’s strategy insisting that Cooke's experience as a private investigator will ensure the success of the project and give them intel unavailable to the broader research community.

Angela decides to play the game and hold her ground as long as Cooke doesn’t cross any red lines. JaRew promises to follow her lead, admits they may be in over their heads but promises to uncross any and every one of Cooke’s red lines. As they weave in and out of the back alleys, boulevards and dead-end streets of small-town USA, two teenage cousins are shot outside of a neighborhood food mart.

It starts with a round of tequila shots and a hip swiveling line dance. Did Angelica hear the shots before she felt the shove? Was it an accident? Or was she the target?

In the third book in USA Today bestselling author Stephany Tullis’ Blue Lady series, political operatives Angelica Mason and Jonathan Jarewski find themselves in a MISSION under FIRE.
