Trisha O’Keefe’s two thrillers Poseidon’s Eye and Magi’s have been acquired by Jabari & Jaser!


Poseidon’s Eye, a fast-paced thriller of global proportions.
                Alex Carreras had it all – a position with a prestigious law firm, an engagement to the boss’s daughter, a budding political career – until he stops to help a girl in a battered Chevy van.     Overnight, life as he knew it vanishes as he is blamed for her murder. He comes to the realization that by rising too far too fast he has made enemies along the way.
            Carreras had discovered shipments of armaments labeled as domestic chemicals to foreign buyers. Having reported the discrepancies to his superiors in the law firm, he had been replaced on the lucrative account and then stumbled upon Poseidon’s Eye, an advanced missile guidance system, sold to the Chinese.
            The death of the girl was only the beginning for him, but could be the end for everyone.

Magi’s Well
            Trevellan Evans, an Archeology and English instructor, is living and working in Cairo, Egypt. Anticipating the Persid and Leonid meteor showers, she and her colleague travel to the deep desert to Wadi Abou Serga for observations and discover Magi’s Well and an unmarked, forgotten tomb — keeping the information to themselves.
            Upon returning, she volunteers to work an excavation and witnesses the murder of world-renowned astronomer, Helmut Kleinhof, whose research she was following when she stumbled upon the well and the tomb. Inspector Riad Hassan of Cairo Securitie warns her she might be the killer’s next target as she knew nearly as much as Kleinhof.
            Trevy’s deductive reasoning and insatiable desire for the truth unearths much more than hieroglyphics and artifacts; something many would die for, and do.
O’Keefe’s knowledge, experience and solid grasp of the language and people of the area make this ever so realistic; especially with what is happening in the Middle East at this time.
Her first novel, Hanahatchee (Deer Hawk Publishing, 2012), is based on a true story in which she brings the tale of murder, mystery, and magic to life. Follow the steps Jordan Tanner took to reveal the real killer and bring injustice to light.
After traveling and studying abroad for fourteen years, which included living in Cairo, Egypt, O’Keefe returned home to the States where she enrolled in graduate school to continue her work in alternative healing traditions. Finally, in response to her mother’s question, “What are you going to do for a living?” the author took a teaching job. For her literature students, she wrote a book on William Shakespeare, The Bard Rocks, published in 2006 by KIB Publications. O’Keefe lives in Georgia where she teaches and, of course, writes mystery/thrillers.
