A Second Helping of Murder
Christine Wenger
Series: A Comfort Food Mystery

Trixie Matkowski is warming up to running her family's diner in the small town of Sandy Harbor in upstate New York. But the only thing more demanding than serving up piping-hot comfort food twenty-four hours a day is getting to the bottom of a double homicide …

Trixie fondly remembers summers as a child spent visiting the shores of Lake Ontario. Not much has changed — there are still vinyl booths at the Silver Bullet Diner, families eating home-cooked comfort food, and days of swimming in the lake.

But before Trixie can say "Order's up", someone's summer is abruptly cut short. One of the cottage residents is found dead, and Trixie suspects the crime might be linked to an unsolved disappearance in the picturesque town's past.

As Trixie works with Deputy Ty Brisco to solve both mysteries, their shocking discoveries will shake up the small town. And when word gets out that she's on the case, Trixie's in trouble — after all, the murderer won't spare her life just because she makes a killer corned beef sandwich.

The Forever Man by C. William Davis III
A Novel of Suspense
Publisher: Word Association

It is early summer in the small western Pennsylvania town of Smith Falls. Surrounded by picturesque farmlands, rolling hills and lush green forest lots, it appears as a cover photo from a calendar or travel magazine. In many ways Smith Falls is like so many other small towns in this part of America. Touched by rural beauty and yet not far from a large city, and the fading shadows of a once great steel industry.

But for Smith Falls this is all about to change. Something that has quietly waited has begun to stir, and when it raises its head unspeakable horror, born of evil, will seep into this place. For this quaint small town and one dedicated County Sheriff an emotional dam is about to burst, and what lies behind it is a deep dark red.
