"Sharon Potts has written a crackling debut crime novel. From the empathetic horror of her violent prologue to a final confrontation with the killer, the author imbues reluctant protagonist Jeremy with sharp, but non-conformist, views that mark a credible investigator fixated upon who might have killed his parents and why. Truly, I could not put this first novel down."

–Jeremiah Healy, author of Rescue

"In this powerful debut novel, Sharon Potts successfully blends edge-of-the-seat suspense with the emotional journey into adulthood of her twenty-something protagonist and his younger sister. I held my breath as I watched Jeremy and Elise search for their parents' murderer and, in the process, discover the love and approval they thought they had lost."

–Barbara Parker, New York Times best-selling author of The Dark of Day

"In the novel, In Their Blood, the author has crafted a tense mystery of financial intrigue and murder in a Miami setting. After the slaughter of his parents, Jeremy Stroeb is caught between the need to protect his sister and help in the solving of the crime, and his desire to avoid the responsibilities in a world of finance in which he doesn't feel he belongs. The author describes the inner conflict, capturing the struggle of the main character's coming of age, which adds another dimension to this layered story. The research is unobtrusive to the plot line and the detailing of Miami settings gives a veracity to this exciting story."

–Martha Powers, award-winning author of Conspiracy of Silence
