A decades-old murder victim sends senior sleuths Cat Caliban and Moses Fogg on a hunt for a missing heiress, a former show jumper and race car driver. But once they find her, they are still in the dark and must search her past to give the nameless victim a name and seek justice. Ruth Giles of NetGalley calls it “a tumultuous, often madcap, adventure” and Nonstop Reader Annie Buchanan pronounces it “tone perfect, very entertaining.”

A death predicting cat, a cook with mad voodoo powers, and a trio of nosy sleuths who are determined to get to the bottom of the corpse in the library…some might say things couldn’t get any weirder. Some would be wrong.

Come to Silver Hills. Where new friends are made and a grim reaper is born.

Agnes Willard is moving into Silver Hills. She’s worried about the change and concerned about fitting in. Luckily for her, Florence Bee has decided to take Agnes under her wing.

When Agnes’ cat Tolstoy escapes as they’re getting Agnes settled into her new apartment, they quickly find him across the hall, perched on a dying woman’s chest.

The new friends soon learn three things from the experience:

1. The cat definitely has an instinct for and proclivity toward people who are on death’s doorstep. 2. Finding and avoiding a killer is a really tough way to spend your first days in a new place. And 3. Agnes truly does have a unique talent for debauching a crime scene.

Special price for a limited time $0.99
Bruce DelReno, a retired mail carrier, plays a lot of golf. His wife, a nurse, still works. A lot. So, Bruce frequents the Mesquite Hills Golf Club in the fictitious town of Willowtree, Arizona.
One day he finds bones near the course. This discovery begins his pursuit of the killers of three individuals whose bodies were found nearby, but 30 years apart. This mild mannered ex-postman is emboldened by the police’s slow progress, and encouragement from his wife, and best friend, an Apache Indian. Bruce’s investigating centers on a group of locals who grew up in Willowtree together.
There is murder, humor, golf, food, and local color in this tale, as well as twists and some interesting characters.

The Blue Coyote by Karen Musser Nortman

The Blue Coyote is an IndieBRAG Medallion honoree and a finalist in the 2013 CLUE Awards. Frannie and Larry Shoemaker love taking their grandchildren, Sabet and Joe, camping with them. But at Bluffs State Park, Frannie finds herself worrying more than usual about their safety, and when another young girl disappears from the campground in broad daylight, her fears increase. The fun of a bike ride, a flea market, marshmallow guns, and a storyteller are quickly overshadowed. Accusations against Larry and her add to the cloud over their heads. Frannie begins to puzzle out the mystery: Are the itinerant road workers as much of a threat as Frannie thinks? What about the lone woman camper who also disappears? Or is the girl’s deadbeat dad behind it all?

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
Campgrounds are perceived to be, and generally are, safe places for children. But we once witnessed an incident similar to the inciting incident in the book when a young girl had been told if she felt threatened to approach anyone else for help, stranger or not. That’s not always a good idea.
