A child is missing, and not everyone wants her found.

Someone's out there on the streets of Boston killing sex offenders. Senator Samantha Werner demands the police find the killer after her son, John, a known drug dealer and pedophile, becomes victim number three.

Detective Karl Shea, recently retired from the Sex Crimes Unit, and diagnosed with terminal cancer, is summoned back to work exclusively to find John Werner's murderer. The problem is, he did it.

Shea acts as judge and jury when evidence implicating Werner in the disappearance of his girlfriend's daughter, Annie Hudson, is stolen from the police department. Werner is to be Shea's third and last kill.

He makes it his mission to spend his last months finding Annie and bringing her home, dead or alive. The search takes him on a trail with twists and turns leading deep into the depths of the dark world of child pornography, molestation, and trafficking.

Life wanes from Shea as he searches for Annie, and he fears time will run out as the Boston Police inch closer to identifying him as the sex offender killer, and his duplicitous wife plots against him.

It's a race to the finish in this suspense-filled novel as Karl finds the path to Annie leads him close to home.

Dr. Mel's Review

"Predator in the House is dynamic and compelling. It grabs you from the first word and doesn’t let you go until the very end."

Joanne Parsons is fulfilling a commitment she made to herself during her career in healthcare. “I wrote Predator in the House as an entertaining and intriguing crime novel to raise awareness of child sex trafficking.” She is standing behind her commitment, and is donating the first one-thousand dollars in pre-order sales proceeds to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Parsons began writing after being widowed and retiring. She is author of two historical fiction novels, award-winning, Kitchen Canary, and its sequel Through the Open Door.

“Predator in the House is not a grim story of a trafficked child.” Parsons balanced the dark subject of child sex trafficking with humor. “It’s a fast-moving cat and mouse game between a dysfunctional married couple. Karl Shea is searching for a missing child, his wife, Shirley, murders for the thrill. Their shared motivation to kill sex offenders is their only bond and ties them together until the very end.”

Diane Donovan, Midwest Book Review, recently previewed the novel. “Readers who like a good investigative piece accompanied by broader social and ethical issues will find Predator in the House a provocative novel about sex offenders under close inspection, children who vanish into a sordid world, and how a couple's fixation on ‘the kill’ changes their lives and values.”

The eBook edition of Predator in the House is available on Amazon at the pre-order price of $.99 until September 7, 2020. Each purchase will contribute to a donation to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
