Locked Box

Locked Box

Good Love, Bad Love, Crazy Love. Which leads to murder?

Celine Arceneau was admitted to the hospital for food poisoning and declared medically stable before her physician, Ellen Smythe, left for the evening. When she died the next morning from an unknown cause, Chief Detective Stefan Jablonsky suspects foul play and eyes Dr. Smythe, Dr. Kate Chambers’ friend and mentor, as his prime suspect. Pittsburgh’s amateur sleuth quickly joins the fight to prove her friend’s innocence.

Chief Detective Jablonsky and Kate Chambers have worked together in the past; he finds her and her university friends to be elitist and annoying, but grudgingly effective, and she finds him to be a stodgy, old-school detective, but one who always gets the killer. Jablonsky and Kate must put aside their differences to catch the culprit before the body count rises.

This psychological mystery will hold you captive until the very end. Locked Box is the third book in the Pittsburgh Murder Mystery series: however, each book can be read as a stand-alone or in order of publication.

Rebecca A. Miles

Rebecca A. Miles (Neé Rebecca A. Stepek) has successfully infused her writing with her experience from her years as a psychologist. Her work with patients in Behavioral Medicine in Oncology has shaped and deepened how she draws her relatable and all-too-human fictional characters. Across all of her novels she presents friendship as the healing salve to life’s unexpected challenges.

In her decade as a writer, she first produced the PITTSBURGH MURDER MYSTERY trilogy, Ground TruthBroken GlassLocked Box, all traditional mysteries. Locked Box achieved Best Seller status on Amazon and all three novels have five-star ratings.

Her fourth novel, La Quinceañera, is a more psychological and person novel in which she uses a crime as a device around which the main character grows and changes in her familial relationships. Rebecca explores the deep attachment between the main character, Marisol, a math teacher, and her immigrant grandmother. She dedicates this novel to her own immigrant grandmother with whom she was close.

Holiday Mysteries and Enchantments is a delightful and sometimes morally tantalizing collection of short stories based in the major American holidays. This compendium is dedicated to P.D. James who often wrote a Christmas mystery for the local papers in London. Rebecca believes that women who write murder mysteries are the “renegade daughters of fiction,” often looked down upon by the mainstream literati. As a psychologist, she views these renegade daughters as women who first and foremost seek justice in the world.

Rebecca A. Miles holds a Doctorate in Psychology from Duquesne University where she was an Associate Professor. Her private practice in Pittsburgh focused on the medically ill patient and the physicians and nurses who treated them.
