The Killing Tree

by C. Dell Turney

Since her father's mysterious fatal accident, Kristal MacNamara has had her hands full maintaining the family's tree-trimming business. Suddenly she is even busier when a falling branch brings the disarming Cal Sheridan crashing into her life. But Kris has more to dream about than Cal. Her sleep is plagued by nightmares of the tree from which her father fell, and her days are full of hope for clearing his name. When she finally visits the accident site, the brakes fail on her company truck. It isn't until a fire starts at her garage that Kris realizes someone else knows her father is innocent—and will go to any length to keep her from proving it! One of the only clues her father left her is a series of numbers, but can she use them to learn the truth before her own number comes up?
