GHOST ACROSS THE WATER

Joanna Larne is driving to her new cottage at Spearmint Lake when two young men, fueled by road rage, try to force her off the freeway.

With the sound of water haunting her cottage, a vanishing tourist, and a killer whose mask is beginning to slip, Joanna can only hope that she will survive her vacation.

Her attempts to solve Cora's murder lead to the discovery of another murder that no one suspected had taken place.

A SHADOW ON THE SNOW

Krista Marlow’s plans for a quiet winter vacation in Huron Station, Michigan, go awry when she finds a body hanging from a tree on an isolated, wooded road. An arrow has pierced the victim’s chest, and at his feet lies a bloodstained poster bearing the anti-hunting slogan, ‘Ban the Kill’. Krista’s discovery brings her in contact with a taciturn Alcona County sheriff, Mark Dalby, who alternately intrigues and infuriates her. In the cabin she inherited from her aunt, she discovers an antique radio that airs broadcasts from the past. Equally unnerving are the gunfire of the hunters who trespass on her property and the arrow she finds in the snow. One man watches her cabin from the edge of the woods, while another wants to buy her acreage. In the meantime, she learns that several people in Huron Station had a motive and the opportunity to kill the murdered man. Does one of them intend to kill her?
