The Bulls-Eye Killer (A Pepper Jackson Thriller Book 1) Kindle Edition

4.6 out of 5 stars 7 ratings

A brutal serial killer on the loose. A sexy amateur sleuth closing in.
Will she discover his identity before becoming the Bulls-Eye Killer's next victim?

Smart. Sexy. Single. And a knack for trouble, either finding it or it finding her. Introducing Pepper Jackson.


In her mid-forties and recently divorced, she’s every bit as tough as she is drop-dead gorgeous. A Neighborhood Watch patroller, member of the Crime Busters book club, and advocate for finding forever homes for shelter pets, Pepper is an active, outspoken member of the community. Although adored by many, some abhor her, eager to see her fail. Or dead.

The Bulls-Eye Killer kidnaps women to torture in a large metal cargo container he calls his murder crate. He binds his victim spread-eagle to a plywood wall overlaid with chain link fencing, paints blue circles—bulls-eyes—on her naked body, then throws Ninja stars at the circles. The Ninja star-throwing torture lasts hours, culminating with an intense round of hatchet throwing, aimed at her heart.

When the Bulls-Eye Killer abducts one of Pepper’s dear friends, Pepper follows the clues, leading her to discover the killer’s
shocking true identity.

Will Pepper arrive in time to rescue her friend? Or will they both become victims of the Bulls-Eye Killer?

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Animal Lover. Fitness Instructor. Author of dark and chilling thrillers.

Shirley strives for what she calls, "plausible realism" in her books and garners critical details from her "police ride along" experiences as well as educating herself by attending and graduating from the West Jordan Citizen's Police Academy and receiving training as a CERT member (Community Emergency Response Team). She is currently a West Jordan Police Department VIPS (Volunteer In Police Service).

Furthermore, when one of her bad guys was building a bomb and consequently blowing up a house, she met with the fire chief and a SWAT arson investigator who helped her "build a better bomb" for her story!

"Thinking up and plotting the dastardly deeds of demented killers is a challenge," Shirley says. "However the real fun begins when figuring out how my heroine--and her studly hero, of course--will turn the tables, outsmart the twisted murderer, and survive."

In real life, Shirley has been a victim of human predators more than once, yet lives by the motto: No matter what horrible circumstance life hurls at you, choose to survive and become stronger because of it. She uses that maxim as a guide when writing her novels.

Wrangling friends and family into assisting, Shirley often "role plays" when researching scenes, and admits she "experiments" on herself and has done so with some of the tools her bad guys use, including duct tape, a variety of rope, and handcuffs. Even locked herself in the trunk of her car and attempted to escape. Hmmm. Knowing this, you may wonder how many of the stunts described in her books she tried on herself ... but she'll never tell!
