Back Cover Text

I have three deadly problems:

1. I’ve seriously offended a maniacal killer.

2. I just had a bullet removed from my brain.

3. My new daughter is growing up too fast—and she’s in the line of fire.

Living on an obscure, technology-free island off California means safety from the murderer who hunts Kellen Adams and her new family…or does it? Family time becomes terror-time, and at last, alone, Kellen faces a killer playing a cruel game.

Only one can survive, and Kellen knows who must win…and who must die.

Cape Charade
Washington’s Pacific Coast
This Spring

The Cape Charade undertaker, Arthur Earthman, never wanted to hear noises in the casket display room, especially after midnight.

But this had been a week of interesting firsts.

On Tuesday, a beautiful young woman, a grieving widow, had come into his office carrying a marriage certificate and a State of Washington Certificate of Exhumation. He hadn’t even known Washington state required a Certificate of Exhumation, since he’d never exhumed a body before.
