Cries and Whiskers
A Theda Krakow Mystery (3rd in series)
The hit-and-run death of a radical animal rights activist on the snowy streets of Boston appears to be an accident. Freelance music journalist Theda Krakow knew the woman, as did her best friend, punk musician and animal-shelter owner Violet, who shares with Theda her dark fears about the dead woman and strange doings in the local music scene.
Tensions are rife among members of a highly charged activist group, Animals Now. Theda suspects there may be a link to a new designer drug that's making its way around the city, creating a wave of overdoses. When evidence proves that the accident victim was actually killed by drug poisoning, Theda begins to connect the dots. But now she's targeted by dangerous characters who want to make sure the cat gets her tongue—permanently.

Valley of Death
Non-series
Predictability can be a nice perk to small-town life—a nicety Allison Aldridge notes when her life suddenly becomes quite unpredictable. Somebody broke in to her classroom and her house, and now her elderly neighbor is missing. Something is very wrong in her peaceful little valley. And, like it or not, she's part of it.
The missing woman, Malvina, left suddenly without her medication, leaving only a scribbled note about visiting her sister. But she never arrived. Her husband, Leroy, claims to be as confused as everybody else—until they find his dead body tangled in a paper-rolling machine. Add a counterfeit ring, odd antics by some locals, and it's clear that danger is becoming routine. And that Allison has something somebody wants from her—whether she's dead or alive.

Scent of Danger
A Dale Kinsall Mystery (2nd in series)
The average crazy day for a vet like Dale Kinsall is a waiting room of furry patients and a staff of colorful eccentrics who like to meddle. But anonymous notes? Actually, make that anonymous rhymes? At first, he thought they were a joke—some kind of game. Now the hint of menace is palpable.
Whoever is leaving the notes has full access within the locked doors of the clinic. Odder, the notes seem to coincide with a wave of Hanta fever, spreading outside Flagstaff. When the love interest in Dale's life, Laura, contracts the fever and the strange notes pile up, Dale knows he's running out of time. But thanks to a clue courtesy of his beagle—who has a nose for trouble that surpasses that of his human companion—Dale makes a shocking discovery.
