Sylvia Thorn and Willie Grisseljon (2nd in series)
Accompanying her mother's travel club of free-spirited octogenarians on their trip to tour ghost towns out West isn't exactly Sylvia Thorn's idea of fun. The ex-FBI agent and former Miami judge's lack of enthusiasm deepens with the discovery of a body in the bathtub of a Nevada hotel room. Sylvia suspects at least one of the feisty "Florida Flippers" has a secret. Especially when a member of the group disappears—and turns up dead in an abandoned gold mine.
Adding to the chaos, Sylvia's brother, Vietnam veteran Willie Grisseljon, has a sixth sense for trouble. He races to the rescue with his worried father in tow. Toss in the familiar face of an FBI agent from back home and Sylvia is chin deep in crazy antics and a deadly mystery. It's one that a killer isn't about to let her solve.

While enjoying her honeymoon, historic preservationist Ashley Wilkes is summoned back home when sniper fire hits a handyman working at her newest project.

Documents dating back more than a hundred years have surfaced and now a wealthy foreigner is determined to buy the mansion outright. A guest dies mysteriously at a fund-raiser. A body is found floating in the old cistern. Ashley can't stand by and wait for more bodies to pile up. Even if it means taking on a killer with some deadly unfinished business.

The Awful Abbey
A Deedra Masefield Mystery
There's something strange going on at the old Anthea Abbey, and Rufus County reporter Deedra Masefield is determined to get to the truth.
A stone fortress with a history of dark deeds, the abbey now belongs to an eccentric inventor who bought the place for his reclusive movie star wife. But the beautiful starlet has disappeared. And when a newspaper delivery boy finds a note pleading for help, Deedra suspects the worst.
Especially when the poor boy then goes missing.
Nosing about the secluded property, Deedra spies hidden cameras as well as the desperate, wraithlike image of seductive screen goddess Sharlee Devon clutching a baby boy. But Deedra's up against an iron-willed housekeeper and the hulking figure of a strange man-child wandering the grounds. It's a situation straight out of Hitchcock. But for Deedra, it's about to become a real-life nightmare that can only end in murder.
