DENVER - Jan. 9, 2018 - PRLog -- Social media and mass forms of communication have made the world a scary place. News as entertainment has made it even scarier. But in a world like this, mysteries and crime fiction play an important role in helping people examine the darker side of humanity. Crime fiction explores the psychological aspects of life and death, it allows people to face their worst fears in a safe way, and unlike the real world, here justice is almost always served at the end and safety is restored.

A cold case that has been sitting on the backburner of the Denver PD piques the interest of Samantha Church, an ace reporter with the Grandview Perspective newspaper. Baby Hope has been dead for over 12 years and everyone has given up on this case for lack of leads. But for this brilliant journalist with a troubled past, it is almost serendipitous how she is pulled in deeper & deeper into this decade old case.

Sam has a nose for the truth and she quickly discovers inconsistencies and some very unusual activities related with the case. With more and more missing crucial links turning up, this cold case suddenly becomes a high-profile murder investigation that threatens to expose many high profile individuals.

Mysterious, emotional and heart wrenching at times – this investigative fiction is like no other.

Cold Case, 99-5219 is the fourth book in the Samantha Church series by the author. Her mystery novels span the gamut of crime fiction. They are multi-layered books that take a deeper look at what it means to be alive in a big city. The Samantha Church series is a hardboiled series featuring a female journalist and numerous recurring secondary characters.

Praise for the book –

"I enjoyed this book immensely. The story was compelling, and Betta did an excellent job of tying up myriad loose ends into a neat package." - Brian Hall, a reviewer

Nick Hales had this to say, "This book is well written and very entertaining. The lead is a great character, well developed, as are the others. I also enjoyed the sub plots of the lives of these characters and these are well done."

"This is a riveting murder mystery that will keep you guessing to the very end! It's skillfully written; with such plausible characters that you feel these could be real people. The plot is logically developed and I thoroughly enjoyed reading about Samantha Church." - an ARC reader

Amy Gonzalez says, "I really enjoyed this mystery. It kept me guessing all through the read. I hope to read more from this author. There were many scenes that stuck with me – almost all the ones with Sam. And since she is such a looming figure through the entire book, I'd have to say – the entire book stuck with me!"

"Just the book to sit down with on a rainy afternoon with a cup of your favorite drink. The plot is compelling, the characters are finely-drawn with interesting quirks and the sense of place is familiar enough to make the story as unsettling as it is enjoyable to read." – John, a reviewer

Kevin Peter of MoterWriters.com said that, "For those who enjoy a series with a recurring cast of characters and a strong female lead, this is the read for you. The real enjoyment of this book lies in seeing the case unfold through the authentic feeling police & journalistic procedural processes."
