I’d thought murder took planning and intelligence, but turning the tables on criminals was twice the work. The guilty were naturally wary, constantly suspecting others of doing the illegal and immoral deeds blooming to life in their own minds. Guilty is as guilty does. &nb...
He took his wife’s hand, intertwined their fingers, and kissed her knuckles. “It’s nice to get away. You’re sure you don’t mind that this is a working trip?” At the end of a tree-lined drive, the newly renovated luxury resort and spa, The Hideaway, sat on a wooded slope. F...
It was nearly nine-thirty before she’d left. Halfway to her home out on the Scarlet River, the rain increased to a torrent. Squinting through the windshield, she slowed the car to a crawl on the rural highway. A light in the trees just beyond the shoulder of the road caught her attention. It was ...
