WHISPER IN THE PINES ‘SECRETS OF THE HEART’ by Howard Gleichenhaus

Mary Elizabeth Laverneaux is beautiful, devious, …and deadly. She returns to her home in Moultrie, Georgia in the summer of 1938 with a mission…to get her little girl before Jebediah Collins finds her.

A year before, she had left her husband, Reggie, and daughter, Carlee, to follow the con man, living a life on-the-run with Collins and his ruthless partner, Ben. Taking off with $20,000 of Collins’s cash, Mary Elizabeth hopes to leave behind her errant ways and start a new life with her daughter—but Collins is hot on her trail.

At Whispering Pines, the Laverneaux family’s ancestral home and one-time plantation, Reggie Laverneaux finds love again in the form of his childhood friend, Emily Winters. When Reggie is approached with a proposal to reopen the family mill by an investor from New York, things begin to look up for Reggie and his new family. But when Mary Elizabeth’s return is tied to a hotel clerk’s murder, Reggie must fight his demons—old and new—to protect the ones he loves.

Collins will stop at nothing to get revenge on the woman who betrayed him; and as the bodies begin to pile up, Detectives Bill Mason and Cal Druggins are forced to act quickly to put an end to the terror ransacking the small, southern town. When Collins kidnaps Carlee, Mary Elizabeth fears the worse; she knows what the con man is capable of first-hand.

Will they find Carlee before Collins goes too far?

HOSTILE WITNESS by Rebecca Forster

When sixteen-year-old Hannah Sheraton is arrested for the murder of her stepgrandfather, the chief justice of the California Supreme court, her distraught mother turns to her old college roommate, Josie Baylor-Bates, for help. Josie, once a hot-shot criminal defense attorney, left the fast track behind for a small practice in Hermosa Beach, California. But Hannah Sheraton intrigues her and, when the girl is charged as an adult, Josie cannot turn her back. But the deeper she digs the more Josie realizes that politics, the law and family relationships create a combustible and dangerous situation. When the horrible truth is uncovered it can save Hannah Sheraton or destroy them both.

“This story was inspired by a case my husband handled. As a superior court judge he had to sentence a minor to life in prison. It made me wonder how I felt about minors arrested for violent crimes. Are they most vulnerable among us – capable or horrible violence, perceived as adults and yet emotionally still children?” Rebecca Forster

She marketed a world-class spa when it was still called a gym, did business in China before there were western toilettes at the Great Wall and mucked around with the sheep to find out exactly how her client’s fine wool clothing was manufactured.   Then Rebecca wrote her first book and found her passion.


 


Now, over twenty-five books later, she is a USA Today and Amazon best selling author and writes full time, penning thrillers that explore the emotional impact of the justice system.

THE SHERIFF AND THE PANHANDLE MURDERS by D.R.Meredith

Crawford County, Texas, hadn’t had a deliberate homicide in 80 years, and Sheriff Charles Matthews liked that statistic just fine, particularly since his department wasn’t generously endowed with manpower. He had one deputy who took pride in how far he could spit tobacco and another one who couldn’t tell his backside from his elbow. Neither of these deputies bothered Crawford County because folks understood them. They didn’t altogether understand Charles Matthews. It wasn’t his law degree- lots of folks had law degrees and were still respectable-and it wasn’t the fact he was from Dallas. It wasn’t even because he never told anybody why he left Dallas. It was because Charles had no nickname in an area where nicknames were as common as sagebrush. Still, Crawford County took Charles at face value as a good man until he proved otherwise. When Billy Joe Williams was murdered on a lonely county road, Charles knew that someone else counted on being taken at face value.

A fan of mysteries since a childhood obsession with Agatha Christie and Rex Stout, D. R. Meredith has written three mystery series set in the Texas Panhandle, a little-known area of the state even to other Texans. Two titles, MURDER BY IMPULSE and MURDER BY DECEPTION, in the John Lloyd Branson series were finalists for the Anthony Award. An equal obsession with the American West inspired her to create two historical sagas, A TIME TOO LATE and THE RECKONING, which she describes as “two hanky books for readers who want their hearts tugged while satisfying their curiosity about the Old West.” The book review editor for ROUNDUP MAGAZINE for more than twenty years, Meredith owns a private library of more than 5,000 books on the American West.
