The Drifter's Wheel
A Fever Devilin Mystery (5th in series)
When a deranged young man, toting a gun and claiming to be a hundred years old, shows up at Fever Devilin's Blue Ridge Mountain cabin, the introspective folklorist offers him a seat…before calling his buddy, the sheriff. But the vagrant vanishes before the law arrives, only to turn up dead the next morning. Surprisingly, when Fever arrives to identify the body, it is not his ranting visitor—but a stranger wearing the man's clothes.
Intrigued by the drifter and his strange stories of World War I, tango lessons and fratricide, Fever begins to investigate. Who is the dead man in borrowed clothes, and where is the stranger who waxed poetic on his couch? And where among them is the killer? The truth is as strange as the stories and legends that pervade the hills of Appalachia—haunting and sometimes dangerous.
Swing Low, Sweet Chariot
A Rose Franklin Shady Grove Mystery (3rd in series)
As manager of the Shady Grove campgrounds, situated on the edge of the Mississippi, Rose Franklin is accustomed to colorful characters. She's also seen her share of trouble, which is why she welcomes Chariot Stevens, a young woman running from danger back in South Dakota. Her boyfriend, Jason, was brutally murdered and Chariot is a wanted woman—on both sides of the law.
The dead man was involved in illegal drug activities and was in possession of something his high-profile killer needs to beat the murder rap. Rose is determined to help the girl, and with the assistance of her trailer-park friends, attempts to figure out who is after Chariot … besides the police. But she steps in harm's way when she discovers the shocking identity of the killer—and the secrets that led to the fatal crime.
Riddled to Death
An Ellie Hastings Hummingbird Falls Mystery (2nd in series)
A lush and lovely June in Hummingbird Falls gives way to a strange and threatening game for transplanted librarian Ellie Hastings. Someone is sending her notes, each one a riddle, leading her on a strange hunt with malice implied at each turn. Her sharp mind enables her to keep up with the clues—but her nerves, and her sense of dread, are growing, especially when murder strikes.
The body of an unidentified woman is found floating in the falls, literally riddled to death with buckshot. A child goes missing, and a mysterious family moves into the village—a family with secrets. As events collide in unexpected ways, Ellie races to figure out the connection, before all the questions turn twice as deadly.
