She got away from him once, but how can she save herself this time?

Under Cover A young adult mystery.

A senseless murder. A teenager accused. The body was found in his car. Liam insists he’s innocent. Of course. They all do. Cree wants nothing to do with any of it. Her mind is on Ben Canfield, the love of her life, who seems to be drifting away. Then she overhears a gang threatening Liam. He might really be innocent.

Its predecessor is The Long Sleep

Hoping to make friends at her new school, Maddie joins the newspaper staff. Its charismatic editor, Hank Dalbeck, plans a controversial series on the right to die. This causes so much discussion at their weekly meeting that Hank misses his bus home and accepts a ride with Maddie. Before they can leave the parking lot, someone fires a shot through the windshield.

First in the series is Twenty Minutes Late

Cree arrives late for her babysitting job to find the mother gone, the older child in a daze, and the baby missing without a trace. The police, the neighborhood searchers, even the FBI can find no clues.

Also, Murder and Mayhem in the Catskills. The dark side of Catskill history.

This book tells the story of Murder, Inc., that deadliest arm of organized crime that left bodies scattered through mountains and lakes. It tells of murders and attempted murders from early Colonial days to the present time. Of domestic murders and weird ones fueled by superstition. Of a wife missing for three years and where she was eventually found. Of a night intruder and his juvenile victim who left a trail of blood across a field.

Available from Amazon.com and from BarnesandNoble.com.
