Josh Michaels is worth more dead than alive. He just doesn't know it yet. He has no idea why someone would try to kill him, clearly that's exactly what happened. When an SUV forced Josh's car off the road and into a river, it might have been an accident. But when Josh looked up at the road, expec...

They were supposed to be getting dinner, but once he told Sheils about the Fleetwoods hiring a private investigator, dinner was suspended. “I should have seen it coming,” Sheils complained. “He suckered us all with h...

That wasn’t a good sign. “Sure,” Terry said. “Come with me.” She led him to a small conference room and held the door open for him. Frosty was there, sitting at one end of the conference ta...
Greening already had a motel room there, so she’d followed him from Bishop. When they’d arrived, she’d checked into a room of her own and had been asleep within minutes of stretching out on the bed.
