The suspect was halfway up the stairs when Sergeant B.B. Friday turned into the stairway.
Just as he shouted, “Halt!” the suspect tripped over a block of concrete and fell, sprawling on the steps.

Book Blurb Friday
hosted by Lisa Ricard Claro at Writing in the Buff.
Each week, Lisa posts a photo (this time by Ashley Ortiz) for writer-bloggers to imagine as the cover of a book. Keeping the image in mind, we are asked to write a blurb of less than 150 words for the back of that book, in order to entice browsers to become buyers.

You have this incredible talent for writing stories that make us wonder what's going to happen next.
You were a mystery writer in your past life, right?
This is great. Was she a diversion, I wonder? You leave us with many questions ... will he fall in love with her at the end, saving her from a life of crime? Can't wait to find out the answers.
