Dark Legacy

by Christine Janssen

Struggling to pay her late husband's debts after he drowns in the Atlantic Ocean, Victoria Wells rents a room in her home to an ex-con who served time for killing his wife. As if that's not enough, her husband's unctuous lawyer is putting the moves on her. Her daughter, fleeing an abusive relationship at college, returns home, emotionally unstable and unpredictable. And Victoria realizes she is being stalked. Someone wants a valuable object her late husband acquired by questionable means, but she has no clue where--or indeed what--it is. When she stumbles upon the body of a woman who resembles her, it's obvious someone will kill to get it. Too many clues point to her boarder. Has she made a fatal mistake in allowing this brooding, volatile stranger into her home?
