Written in Stone
“A brilliant thriller with a smart female protagonist. Pure escapism.”
“Publish or perish?” Graduate student Christina Desroches’ research certainly seems a little dangerous. The Medieval text she’s working on was never supposed to be translated, according to its narrator. Soon, Christina will come to understand that something in the manuscript is important enough to kill for. Her scholarly research becomes a desperate quest for the truth that has her racing from New York to Paris, to the remote village of Sainte Enimie. This is a place where history has left many marks, but all is not as it seems. Christina fights to solve a mystery that is literally in her blood, and discovers that nothing is written in stone.
Gone to Ground
“Like spying on a secret society you never knew existed.”
Reclusive cold case podcaster June was sure she had left the old money Virginia foxhunting community she grew up in firmly behind her. But secrets don’t stay buried forever. When she uncovers that the main suspect in the unsolved disappearance of a Capitol Hill intern is her own father, June is forced to return to Pemberwick to investigate. June will find out that the past can still hurt you, and that people are unpredictable when they find themselves backed into a corner, like a fox gone to ground. In some genteel corners of the country, crazy doesn’t just run in the family. It gallops.
