Murder First Then Slander
Harriet Love Nelson was born tarnished into the ruling society of remote, devout Coltonsville. Finding the attractive young widow murdered in her bed seemed a fittingly titillating finale to her unconventional life.
Then lawmen discover a hundred sets of fingerprints in her bedroom, and rumors of who they might belong to upend the already frenzied town. Even after the case seems to have cooled, a lone detective continues to search, eventually connecting Harriet’s murder to a sprawling gambling and offshore money laundering operation.
Far from resting in peace, Harriet craves a cosmic reckoning to right the wrongs leveled against her. And that’s just what she – and Coltonsville – will get.

Critical Error
All Gabby de Sales ever wanted was to be a journalist. Her dreams never included carrying a gun or learning to fight.
Still, she has learned to accept her new life and is enjoying the day to day of her job when an assignment comes to accompany some of the most guarded people in the world on a hiking trip. It seems everything is going fine until her charges are kidnapped, and Gabby finds herself in the middle of a national security incident.
